You know that feeling you get when you're flipping through your mail and suddenly you see an envelope with real handwriting on it? That's how I felt when I got the email from Mamapedia, telling me they were running one of my posts. If you get a chance, do me a solid and pop over there. I'm [...]
I've never been to BlogHer. I didn't go this year for numerous reasons. For one, I've lived through two Illinois summers and suffered through multiple visits that always seemed to coincide with a heatwave, and lately I'm against torturing myself if I can help it. For two (I know that's wrong, but does anyone know [...]
When I was in 8th grade, I -- try to contain yourselves -- tried out for cheerleading. In our school, this was a rather humiliating process -- one where you had to perform in front of the entire school and then get voted to be on the squad. I ended up just edging out the [...]
The other night, while I was up with insomnia, I started making a "You Suck" list. It's just one of many lists that go through my head when my other non-sleeping choices are to: Make a list from the other 100 lists regarding everything from "Brilliant blog posts that come to me...at 2 a.m." to [...]
Ever since that study came out about Facebook making people depressed, I've read many a blog and Facebook post professing the need to "get real" about our lives. In the most recent article, "We Need to Quit Telling Lies on Facebook" on Kveller.com, Sarah Emily Tuttle-Singer writes about her "real" Saturday with the kids, not the cleaned-up, Instagram-filtered [...]
When it comes to humor, I'd say I fall into the self-depricating end of the continuum. The unfortunate part about that is the underlying problem of sometimes believing what you say. And not in a funny-ha-ha way. Maybe it's a Chinese thing (I'm half, you know). Maybe it's just how I was raised. Maybe I'm [...]
Like an innocent little schoolgirl, romping 'round the playground, I've been smacked on the back by a bigger, stronger, faster kid and declared "It" in a brutal game of tag. Okay, that's not entirely accurate. But bullying is just so "in" right now. My friend, Kelly DeBie over at DeBie Hive has tagged me in [...]
Something really disturbing happened to me on Facebook today. Deep down I'm hoping there's a complicated, techy, and completely legitimate explanation for it, but I'm fearing the worst. First, an explanation. Many of you know I have what's called a "fan page" for World's Worst Moms. Fan pages are different than personal pages. When I [...]
So did you guys see this? I've got a new website! Well, not exactly new. Call it improved. Fresh from a microdermabrasion facial. Made-over and modern. And not even stuffed into Spanx. All just for you... I sort of feel like I should do a drumroll. Or say, "Ta da!" Or crack some champagne over [...]
This is a really weird post to write...Starting tomorrow, Partly Sunny, Chance of Rain is going to be surrounded and sucked away like a bacteria being engulfed by an amoeba (can you tell what the dinner conversation was at our house?).In an effort to keep from going even more insane, I'm combining my blogs. As [...]
