Are you an average American? Have $10,000 in credit card debt and no money in your savings account? Is your New Year’s Resolution to get off the futile never-ending minimum payment treadmill. It may be time for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University.
It’s a series of 13 classes in churches and community centers around the country. […]
You’ve said it before, I’m quitting smoking this year.
But, then you didn’t. You couldn’t. You just . . .
It’s freaking hard!
I read this article in Oprah Magazine by Stephanie Losee, titled The Willpower Myth. It was based on a book Change or Die: The Three Keys to Change at Work and in Life.
Change or Die.
When you’re […]
Remember when we used to have to wear a mumu to disguise our bumps?
I read an article where Hillary Clinton described being pregnant as a young lawyer and none of the other (male) lawyers in her firm would even acknowledge that she was pregnant. For nine months she grew and grew and no one would look […]
Hi, this is Sandy from Dish Network.
I already have Dish Network.
Yes, well. We were wondering if you’d like to give us any names and phone numbers for your friends and family?
Uh. No. I’d like to keep my friends and I don’t hate my family.
I got a new phone number and had forgotten how […]
Don’t miss the 9th Carnival of Radical Feminists.
Go ahead - get a little radical. I advised women try men’s underwear (or demand more from women’s designers), but you already read that. Go on over and see what the other feminists have to say about the world in which women walk.
This month it’s at Unconventional Beauty, […]
Hoyden About Town is putting together the top 40 feminists posts of 2007 and I would like to be included. Deadline is December 31 in Australia.
If a post of mine comes to mine as one of the best feminist posts of the year - hop on over and nominate me.
I appreciate you dear Reader. Thanks for […]
Have you seen the generic, knock-off Magic Erasures on the shelves right next to the Mr. Clean ones?
We’ve been moving so I’ve used about 16 Magic Erasures to clean 4 years of grime off the old house and other people’s grime off the new one.
The Mr. Clean Magic Erasure is a housewife’s wet dream. Really. They […]
Kate at Babylune ran this crafty little contest where she asked everyone to blog about thier favorite charity and then she was going to give her blogging income to the winning charity.
Very cleverly, she devised a way to include everyone and make everyone feel validated and appreciated by dividing the winnings up among all entrants.
Here […]
My 2008 resolution is to become compulsively anal retentive.
I wish I had your organizational gene, I recently told my mother. Now that I’m in my mid-30s I’m experimenting with admitting my mother was right about a few things. It hurts a little, but I’m hoping the emotional growth will reap some rewards.
I don’t have that […]
The hat-drawn winner of the Blog Fabulous Eat Pray Love Contest is . . . Alecia Gibson, who shared that she started doing things alone in 2007. Three cheers for that effort!
Let me just say that this contest was a great experience for me. I got the warm and fuzzies every time someone acknowledged their […]

Remember when Mrs. Banks sang,
We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman’s votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid!
Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters’ daughters will adore us
And they’ll sign in grateful chorus
“Well done, Sister Suffragette!”
From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless […]
Someone referred to me as a gypsy.
I move a lot. Since college I have lived in 7 places (not different houses, different cities) in 12 years.
Every time I move it’s to follow my bliss and pursue happiness. At least that’s how I want to look at it today. During a few of those moves it felt more like running like hell. […]
I’m late today with my post because I spent all day yesterday with one of my dear friends who I hardly ever see anymore.
It’s for good reason. We’re productive mothers - I write, she goes to school. There was a groovy year there, when we both had babies and we weren’t working when we would spend […]
Focusing on what is right about yourself, versus what is wrong, is the mark of a healthy individual, states a sign at my old gym.
There are about 2 weeks left in 2007 and before you go making resolutions for 2008 (looking at what is wrong and what still needs changing), how about a little self-praise about 2007?
It’s […]
