I thought I’d give you a quick update on my current round of online dating. In summary: it has been painfully boring. Actually, it hasn’t been painful at all because, having an analytical side (and being an online dating veteran), I’ve been looking at the matchmaking process and results with an odd detachment like a [...]
Tonight I went to Drama Girl’s Brownie meeting to help out with her troop’s “Try It” activity. A Try It, as the name implies, is an activity that fosters creativity and friendship and teamwork and learning something new and blah-blah-blahbadee-blah-blah-blah. Drama Girl likes her troop and so do I (as much as one likes such [...]
Lulu over at Lulu’s Laundry recently admitted to being a nerd — a nerd infatuated with Anderson Cooper, to be more specific — but forgetting the Anderson factor for a moment, Lulu found out by taking this little test that she is a nerd of the Velma variety. Naturally I had to take the test [...]
I dedicate this post to my mothering and baking soulmate, Beta Mom.
Last night I attended a holiday party with my neighbor. I know, I know - a little too early to be going to Christmas parties, IMO, but I like the hostess, wanted the chance to catch up with my neighbor-friend and it was [...]

My paternal grandfather, rest his soul, was always early for everything. I mean early-early. Like hours early for certain events. Like would start driving his car from Michigan to Florida a day before he and my grandmother were scheduled to leave on their trip so they could get there…earlier, I guess. My dad is like [...]
Hey, I used the idea from my I Will Beat Myself Silly with a Limp Lizard post and drafted a holiday “Spill” for the folks at ParentsConnect.com. They liked it!
Better yet, they’ve PUBLISHED it: check it out!!
Thank you. Now I must go kiss the vinyl dinosaur under my coffee table and toss little plastic [...]
I’ve been on the dating scene for a few years now and have tried various ways of meeting people: set-ups by friends, speed dating, joining a singles volunteering organization (now defunct), stalking men in Lowe’s, and online dating. I’ve tried various online dating sites in this time: Match, eharmony, Chemistry, SingleParentsMeet, GreatBoyfriends. I’m not here [...]
“We have a dusting! We have a dusting!”
Overnight we received our first dusting of snow, which can mean only two things:
This entire region will be in a tizzy all day because, you know, this kind or precipitation doesn’t happen but, like, EVERY YEAR.
