So I was recently Friend Dumped. (I know! WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS?) It was a subtle dumping and I did not see it coming. I think I am working through the seven stages of grief about it, if the seven stages include obsessing about it, being mystified, and then worried and then — [...]

So a long time ago, my man came home all excited about a job he was planning to take that involved social networking. I was floored. “It’s a blip!” I shouted. “Social networking will never last! It’s a job with no future! We’ll starve to [...]

Yesterday, Clayton took the kids to his mum’s such that I could spend Saturday polishing my toenails and watching Project Runway writing one of the five books that I’m currently writing.

The night before the preschool picnic, it rained so hard that I couldn’t sleep. Secretly, I was relieved. Because rain meant NO PICNIC.

Dear Mole That I Had Removed Last Friday,
Look, I’m sorry I had you cut out of my body in a disgusting way. Believe me, it was grosser for me than it was for you. I had to a) SEE it (er, you) and b) four stitches. The place where you once were is still uncomfortable [...]

This is a quick post because I have a babysitter and I should be working, as in writing the actual book, but I need to write something that is not the book first because my writing muscle is rusty and sore and weak from taking a week off, if by a “week”, I mean “two [...]
