The best part about writing a blog is that it’s a time capsule for your life. A narcissistic time capsule, yes, but something that marks your growth and change nonetheless. Actually, I still think that Jay has the best tagline for a blog because it sums it up so very well: “Blogging is just masturbating [...]
Iโve worked in the education industry for a while now and Iโve not yet failed to get passionate about the learning of my students nor have I failed to get passionate about my own children. When my children started school I wanted them to learn to hold a pencil correctly and then move onto things [...]
One of the traditions with my children for Christmas is to get everyone a new pair of pajamas that they may open on Christmas Eve. The ruse used to be that everyone would “choose” one gift and we would make it the one they would WANT to open but then one year someone chose wrong [...]
In the year of our Lord 2009 I was reunited with an old friend. Janie and I spent our twenties going out dancing at clubs (we were total rave queens, maybe even rave ninjas) and then I kept on having babies and working and Janie ended up being our nanny. We loved saying the word [...]
SUPER RE-TARDO Growing up, we weren’t allowed to say the word “retard” or even “shut up”. Repressive Catholic parenting did that to me but we also never talked about sex and we all know where that lead. In any case, the other day I was at the store and these two brothers were fighting and [...]
There are a few weeks left of 2009 and since my friend Teddy made one of these and I loved it, I made one, too. But it was so pretty that I thought I’d post it here as well because 2009 has been really kind to me. It gave me preferential seating at the best [...]

Not only have I become lactose intolerant (thanks, Mr. [...]
If I were a dog I would be running in a circle, chewing my own tail, and then looking around the room for a chew toy. This is just the way today is going. Scoring a tranquilizer or going on a kennel run should be high on my priority list. What does that make me? [...]
Let’s say that I have this friend. And this friend decides to tell me some information, see, about his sister-in-law who works in a maternity ward. We’ll call this friend Albert because that’s sort of a distinguished-sounding name. He’s a good guy and we pick on each other in the best possible way. You know, [...]
It’s official. I have been betrayed by milk. In all it’s delicious, creamy two percent-y goodness, it has gone against my body like a cereal killer. So I’m trying some new things. And I’m not happy about it one bit. The more I’m coming to realize that I can no longer drink milk or eat [...]
