Furious

June 29, 2012

I’m furious because my sulk has been interrupted and now I have a confession to make. I made a new friend recently. It happened like it does in the movies, when I least expected it, but also while my hair looked absolutely fantastic and I was basically ready for my closeup. I wasn’t looking for […]

We Were Children Once

June 16, 2012

When I attended the Erma Bombeck Humor Writers’ Workshop in Dayton this spring, I re-dedicated myself to humor writing. I promised myself that I would write funny pieces, steer clear of all mommy wars controversies, and not engage in rage-filled political diatribes that are bound to surface in an election year.

Husbandrinka has been away in Paris all week, so I’ve been spending more time than ever with my kids. Usually he gets up to oversee breakfast so I can devote myself to watching The Today Show, but this week it fell on me. And it’s a good thing that it did too, because I got […]

A Goal (and Sponsored Video)

May 17, 2012

This post is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Please watch the video at the end. One of the things that I’ve done in the past few months is re-commit myself to writing my tale about being born in the Soviet Union and immigrating to the United States at the tender age of nine. Or […]

Moiety

May 16, 2012

You know how some days you’re just sitting around, plotting revenge on your enemies when suddenly a word pops into your head? That happened to me and it wasn’t vendetta or alibi, but rather moiety. Moiety, if you must know is less word and more weapon because all those people who hate the word moist […]
