I’m Right, You’re Wrong

February 17, 2011

Welcome back to I’m Right, You’re Wrong, where you get to weigh in on the moral dilemmas that my loved ones and I are facing! What could be more fun? This week is a special treat–I had a disagreement with the very funny Teresa Strasser. The fact that we had this disagreement while I was […]

Heeeere’s Wendi!

February 16, 2011

So my guest posts are drawing to a close, because apparently I can only milk this pseudo-depressive state for so long. But I couldn’t end this without having my friend beautiful and talented friend Wendi Aarons chime in. There are many funny Wendi stories, but I was recently thinking about last summer when we were […]

News

February 15, 2011

First, the Good News. I’m one of the finalists for the About.com Laugh-Out-Loud Parenting Blog Award.

And I started to write some post about what an honor it is to […]

Valentine’s Day Epiphany

February 14, 2011

You know, Valentine’s Day is really a non-holiday for me. I seriously don’t care about it or understand why there has to be a mad exchange of flowers/chocolate/cards/jewelry and sexual favors going on, specifically on February 14th.

February 12, 2011

I have to brag a little bit. Because my 12 year old daughter is so wonderful, so kind, and so generous and loving, that sometimes I wonder that I had a hand in raising her. She is just a good person. When she was about 8, we got a whiff of what we thought were […]

What’s in a Name?

February 10, 2011

I have something in common with Michelle Obama and if you’re thinking it’s “amazing arms” or “sense of style” God bless your deluded soul. No, Michelle and I have the same initials. MO. For years, it’s been my nickname, coined by gay friend John and elaborated upon by Sue, who calls me Moster. (I have […]

Crushes

February 9, 2011

The times before my kids go to sleep are among my favorite. Not just because I know that in a few minutes they’ll shut the hell up and slumber off but because of how they are at night. Relaxed and chatty and they say things that they wouldn’t normally say in daylight. So I decided […]
