We live in a corner house, and the two large windows in the dining room overlook the sidewalk. The basement is at ground level, so passersby can’t see us unless they look up. This makes us privy to a lot of private conversations. The other night, while the girls and I […]
The difference between MySpace and Facebook:
MySpace: You are likely to encounter your 8th grade boyfriend whom you haven’t seen in 20 years, exchange a grand total of 2 messages which amount to “Hey, there!”, and all is well until his barely literate wife sends you hate mail insisting you stay away from her man. Eighth […]
For levity.
I found this at Caroline’s blog, and had to repost. Read through to the end, and you’ll see why.
Four jobs I’ve had in my life:
1. shoe salesperson at Thom McAn
2. U.S. Congressional page (House), age 16
3. media library intern
4. sales clerk at Macy’s (accessories)
Four movies I’ve watched more than once (for […]
Check me out at a fun site I recently discovered, Burbia.com (”living life on the edge…on the patio”). In my article, I write about why I moved to the suburbs many moons ago…and why I left.
Elsewhere on the Innanets, over at Anti-Racist Parenting, you can find me sharing a not-so-stellar parenting moment.
Read…comment…spread the word!
Toot-toot!
So, Tech Boo and I are together for a couple of weeks with four of our girls (ages 4 1/2, 9 1/2, 9 1/2, and almost-12). I’m not exaggerating when I say that, on average, we only manage to sneak in about 17 seconds of alone time each day (not counting when we are in […]
I went out on a first (and last) date once with a cop. It was an online thing, and based on his picture, I wasn’t all that enthused. But I went…and then interacting with him face to face, I was even less enthused.
It wasn’t just that I wasn’t attracted to him. There was also the […]
Interesting NYT article on how Clinton supporters are coming around…slowly.
Here’s a quote from the litterbox article:
The hard-core Hillary supporters have certainly not yet achieved total unification bliss. Perhaps it’s just that their heroine hasn’t had a chance yet to reprogram each one individually. (“Repeat after me: ‘This will all work out.’ And let me hear […]
Summertime…and I’m not blogging much these days. The kids are in camp mode this week, which means I’m in chaffeur mode. I’m also in de-cluttering mode and making real progress. In addition to clearing away physical cluter, I’ve also been chipping away at the perpetual, mile-long to-do list that I’ve been schlepping […]
I received an unsolicited book in the mail today. National Sunday Law is apparently a Seventh Day Adventist publication. I read online that others have received it too, so I don’t feel chosen or anything. The Amazon reviews are interesting.
Don’t these folks know that organized religion all by its lonesome gets people’s […]
“Bad Education offers up nothing as pat and comfortable as redemption; by design, it is a dark and largely pessimistic film. And yet, the film’s epilogue tells us that Enrique continues to make films with the ”same passion.” May art and spirit always prevail similarly in the face of evil.”
I wrote that?
This was […]
