Sandra just awarded me a Sephora giftcard just for giving her ideas to write about. If it were that easy I’d have been writing about ideas like that long ago because that eyeshadow isn’t going to purchase itself! She’s writing over at Damsels In Success and here is a sampling of her work. It appears [...]
My mother and I share birthdays close together and by some strange fluke it so happens that Easter falls on our birthdays something like every seventeen years or something. Yesterday was her birthday and she turned 60 years young. She wanted to spend the day with all three of her daughters and that’s exactly what [...]
I have had this Cafe du Monde container of coffee sitting in my freezer for a while and today is just the day to see if I still like it in all its earthy gloriousness. I do. Just takes a bit of 2% milk to make it not grow chest hairs so quickly. G’on and [...]
Unlike some people, I’m not at all troubled that race has been an “issue” in the current election. I prefer to think of it as a Racial Election Process that we’re currently going through because we’re being forced to process information like never before. This part of our daily lives isn’t so much an “issue” [...]
When I was about 5 years old my mother took me to the Jewish Community Center (yay for multiculturalism, folks!) to see about putting me in their after school program following my indoctrination from the Catholic School I was attending. If that’s not enough for some future therapy people, I don’t know what is. I [...]
When I was in college I met a lot of new people and connected with some I neither saw nor heard from for some time. Like when Bobby Soccer called me out of the blue and asked, “Are you the Kelly who went out with me in 4th grade?” and I snorted first because of [...]
As I steadily transition from Mom of Some Kids to a Mom of Teenagers I have to admit that uttering the words, “I have teenagers at home” makes me shake my head, look around for the person who should have said that, and then remembering that I did, in fact, just take a daily vitamin [...]
Primero… it concerns me that birth control pill commercials are using Twisted Sister music in the background. Sure, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” is the chant I use myself during my monthly cramping. I sing myself to sweet with it’s deeply haunting lullaby whilst pressing a heating pad so far into my gut that my [...]
There are two things I need to write about soon or I will EXPLODE. There will be particles of my body and brain all over the floor requiring an entire cleaning crew. One of them is about being a card carrying member of Minorities R Us (and don’t, just don’t call me a Tragic Mulatto [...]
During the holiday season my grandmother took a nasty spill and hurt her knee something awful. It was swollen and purple and pretty scary looking. Battle axe that she is, she was quite feisty in the emergency room telling everyone that she was NOT going to stay here and did they used to live in [...]
