I went out for drinks with a friend tonight and since the women I was meeting up with were all in their late 30s-40-ish, we, seemingly obviously, began talking about our mothers and motherhood, as the night ended. One woman talked about how her mother smashed her dreams by insisting that she find something to, [...]

This morning I logged into my email and was aghast to find an email from the producer of The Gayle King Show. She wanted to know if I would be interested in being interviewed for a segment on tomorrow’s show about moms who drink wine or smoke marijuana to relax. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I was perusing a housewares aisle this afternoon when I stumbled upon this appealing, and wonderfully useful little tool. Initially, I snickered and then walked about three steps before I came to my senses, realizing that I MUST buy this shot glass/measuring spoon. Maybe this will make me want to cook more.

The other day I was trying to figure out how I would take off the tags from one of Annika’s toys while out in public and I thought, “Maybe I need to get a pocketknife.” This is one of those thoughts that stems from having grown up in west Texas on a ranch. Yeah. I [...]

So, even though I am still a tiny ass little fish in the big blogging sea, somebody likes me and I got an award! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Before I write anymore I should tell you. I’m drunk. Yep. Well, good and buzzed anyway. I did it on purpose. See, one of the potential requirements of accepting this [...]
