This Friday has special significance in the lives of many... It's my daughter's birthday. It's the first day of spring. It's the anniversary of this country's invasion of Iraq. I don't need a calendar to tell me any of that. I remember the day she was born thinking that she was going to arrive on … Continue reading bittersweet
stuck
One of the last things my dentist told me before I left today was "It's going to feel like you have food stuck between your teeth for a couple of weeks." All I could really think upon hearing that was that I had a good reason, a very good reason, for willingly having dental work … Continue reading stuck
I reserve the right to repeat myself
March is kicking my ass ladies and gentleman. This happens ever year. EVERY YEAR. When I was younger and way more self involved than I am now and I had no child I didn't care about her birthday (she didn't exist) or talent show, or St. Patrick's day, or my husband's grandmother's birthday. I had … Continue reading I reserve the right to repeat myself
I may be the worst mother ever
There are times that being agnostic is a great thing... It's allowed me to develop my own sense of morals and I totally get to sleep in on Sunday morning, but there are times I think having some religion would come in handy. For instance as I sat at the rehearsal for my daughter's grade … Continue reading I may be the worst mother ever
snow globe
This morning I did the same thing I do every morning, I picked up my iPhone and turned it on, read my email, looked at twitter and checked the weather. Then my iPhone, my knowledge bringer... it told me a blatant lie. "It's going to snow" Okay fine, that shouldn't be in quotes. My iPhone … Continue reading snow globe

I'm 32
best of both worlds
This week I get something magical and special. Two Fridays. For a stay at home mom I have an odd schedule. Monday - Thursday is your normal thing for me. I try to go to bed at a decent hour, I get up early, get my daughter ready for school and help my husband get … Continue reading best of both worlds
an unexpected compliment
I spent some time today with a good friend who shall remain nameless in order to protect her identity and her safety... and quite potentially her street cred. While we were together we talked about this that and the other thing, got pedicures, ate lunch. We were also really really judgmental of movie stars while … Continue reading an unexpected compliment
no, not me
My birthday is coming soon. Less than a week away and I want to be very very excited. Want to be, but not so much. Why? None of the reasons you might think (like I could possibly know what you're thinking right). It's because for 3 weeks there have been sick people in my house … Continue reading no, not me
really, 9 years
9 years ago while I was sitting drinking a martini, just after I had a really nice steak, a friend of my friend's walked into a bar to meet us. He smelled good. Actually he smelled great. And then I was in love with him. With my track record that could have been THE END. … Continue reading really, 9 years
