I was trying to think of a way to describe the kind of taffy-pulling-super-stretched-every-which-way my days are going lately. Then I looked over at my coffee. It’s my 2nd bowl of coffee (you know, one of those giant mugs that are essentially a bowl with a handle) but I poured it at 11:00am. It is [...]

Out of the blue it happened the other day. A simple life moment that made me realize that after all the research I put into donor sperm, artificial insemination, and IVF I had not exactly figured out what to do about the “Daddy Dilemma”. W and I were in Maryland last week visiting LJ and [...]

(Part 1, Part 2, and this Part 3 will be the last bit about the conference.) After waiting in line to get a copy of my photo with the Sesame Street muppets it was time to book it up to the room to get ready for the best and most important part of the BlogHer [...]

I continued to do a fair share of pouting about missing the moment to buy what I considered to be the best plus sized dress. Once you have visualized yourself making an entrance in a dress it is hard to rewind and tape over that with something new. I kept looking on-line for a black [...]

Hard to believe that BlogHer is just 3 weeks away. Soon I will be sharing some news about that. I’ve been waiting until it was official and stuff and we are inching closer. Close enough that I just wrote those last two sentences. This means I will be asking your input on how to not [...]

Sunday evening a car was sent to take me to the airport. The man driving the car was all about ripples. I slid into his cool air-conditioned car, nervous about the trip that I was about to take, and he held up a CD: Phil Collins Serious Hits Live. “You ever heard of this guy?” [...]
