“Pay It Forward” Is Cliche, But So What?

January 21, 2008

This is cross posted over at Flawed But Authentic which I specifically wrote it for, but it sure it easy to copy and paste. Some of my friends are more punctual than others. That, unfortunately, determines how ‘on time’ I am when meeting them. If I have to meet one of them at 7 p.m. [...]

11.15.07

November 15, 2007

I’ve come to some realizations… My feet are big but my sons are bigger now and that somehow comforts me. This time of year I crave a clove cigarette and some hot apple cider but I know the clove cigarette will burn my lungs and not really be as tasty as I want it to [...]

Autumn Is A Pretty Word. So Are The Words “Free Stuff” and “Prizes”

October 22, 2007

Fall brings the inevitable leaf changes and sweater weather I love so much and hate all at the same time. Don’t get me wrong: pulling out warm, snuggly clothing is fantastic and all, but when you add the discomfort of actually being cold, then I tend to get a little pissy. And I don’t want [...]

And I Think To Myself What A Wonderful World

July 2, 2007

My sporadic writing of late is of some consternation because I used to be unfailingly accurate during the weekday. Then, that thing… LIFE got in the way. I’m almost embarrassed to tell y’all this so I think I’ll stare at my toes for a moment. They’re so pretty today! All clean! Shiny! A French pedicure! [...]

A Cappuccino Cuppa With A Side of Arse

March 1, 2007

Oh, dear Lord baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the south call you, “Jesuz”… Sorry. I’m not Ricky Bobby saying his prayers. I’m Mocha Momma. Let me begin again. Oh, dear sweet baby Jesus. You have sent me the cutest dang stories through the readers of this blog. It was a tough decision. It [...]

If I Write “Porn” In My Title Are You Likely To Read?

February 19, 2007

This morning I was going to write some really funny stuff (involving shampoo and the burning of sensitive areas) or finally publish a piece about my father (terribly sentimental, but still questionable since he doesn’t know I write online and I’m dealing with that whole “where do I draw the line?” thing) or possibly show [...]

I’m Sorry, But I’m Good At It

February 14, 2007

Hilly had another great idea. She’s good like that what with being creative and artistic and extremely cute. Maybe that’s more annoying than anything else, but she asked that we participate in A New Kind Of Valentine’s Day. It’s not that I hate V-Day. I just don’t put stock into it because as I sit [...]

Guess Who I Heard Announce His Presidency Today?

February 10, 2007

Good God, but it was freezing today. I can’t feel my toes anymore. It was worth it entirely to see history being made and to share it with my children. One of them can vote and the other will vote for President Obama in his second term. He spoke to my heart today about “reclaiming [...]

Not Very Often

February 1, 2007

It isn’t often that I happen upon a new blog and fall head over heels in love with the writing immediately. The first time I started seriously reading them and realizing the power of the words of normal regular people like me who were out there practicing their writing was a joyous day indeed. There [...]

There Is A Comma In It. A Comma!

December 22, 2006

I’ve been struggling with what to reveal about this unforeseen charitable event I’ve fallen into, and some of it came after a conversation with my friend Juli after she sent me a check in the mail. I began to wonder all sorts of things about next steps. What do people expect from me after sending [...]
