Orgasmic Chocolate Bytes

I sometimes have this recurring dream where I obsessively devour chocolate. I always have to find it, because there really isn’t any in the house, so I’ll go to a store and buy up all the best chocolate - like when I used to get the stoned munchies.

I’ll shove chocolate filled and iced donuts in […]

Career & Kids - How We CAN

I want to introduce you to Elizabeth over at CareerandKids.

I’m feel both impressed and I inadequate by her resume. She’s a fulltime nurse, married 17 years with 3 children and writes GenBetween and BusyMom.

Frankly, I’m exhausted just thinking about having that much on my plate.

One of her latest posts is about how most mothers […]

Hillary’s Justification - Me

I keep hearing pundits and newscasters searching for “justification for Hillary Clinton to stay in this race.”

They consider her win “impossible” at this point. They appear to be in search of politically precedented logic.

My need to see Hillary Clinton NOT QUIT is the only justification Hillary Clinton needs to stay in this race.

I NEED to […]

Save a Marriage - Stop Sharing

Sister, let me give you some marital advice:
Sharing is overrated. It’s a source of conflict, disaster really.

There is no reason on planet earth you need to share - unless you want to fight.

We stopped sharing sheets a long time ago. No needs to share each other’s night sweats. No need to wake up […]

Brain Washing & Potty Training

Brain washing, outside polygamist cults, is an underrated and legitimate method with some great applications.
Potty training would be one of them.
Call me crazy - I’m sure half of you will, but that would be no different than any other day - I’m trying to potty train my 2-year-old son.
For his second birthday we gave him […]

Mother’s Day Boast

My family really shines on Mother’s Day. Especially my husband, who always puts a lot of effort into getting the children involved in doing something creative for me.

I woke to pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries, an 8X11 photo of my children spelling out each letter of “Happy Mother’s Day” in my office and “I […]

Best Mother’s Day Gift Ever

What would be the best Mother’s Day Gift?

The Family Leave Insurance Act of 2008.

I want to show mother’s how much I REALLY love them.

I want tangible family values and not just hot air popping out of politicians mouths who then vote against employment policies that value families.

I want to pass the Family Leave Insurance Act […]

Parsley & McCain

This pastor - Rod Parsley - scares the shit out of me.

McCain wooes him to get the conservative vote. That scares the shit of me. There’s not a chance in hell I’d ever vote for someone who doesn’t see this type of preaching as dangerous to America and dangerous to religious freedom.

Remember what we learned […]

Hillary’s “Feminine Ideal” Sin

Yesterday we talked about Hillary’s big social crime, which is to play men’s games by men’s rules rather than to attempt to play them with feminine roles.
I was reading Leslie Bennett’s FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH? last night and she made a point applicable to Hillary.
“Conveying their strengths and attainments to […]

Hillary & Barbara

Did anyone watch Barbara Walter’s interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC last night?

I wanted to weep with gratitude for what she’s done for women.

After watching old clips of her most famous interviews with some of the most powerful leaders, infamous criminals, and biggest stars of the world Charlie asked Barbara about her interview style.

Barbara’s interview […]

Look 20 Years Younger?

At the end of the last A New Earth Webcast Oprah asked Eckhart Tolle how old he is.

Can you guess?

I thought he was in his 40s. Really.

Close? Not even.

This body is 60 years old, he said.

UGH!I actually inhaled shocked breath.

Not that it matters to me how old he is, but he is very young looking.

Oprah […]

Barbara Walter’s Bi-Racial Affair

Did you all see Barbara Walters on Oprah yesterday?
Just the sight of these two trailblazers for women in the media made me a little teary. I was so proud of both of them. So grateful too.
Was anyone else as fascinated by their candid discussion about having affairs with married men?
In case you missed the news, […]

Generation DVR

My 2-year-old has taken to expressing indignation at all commercials.

He hands us the remote and demands that we fast forward.

Even my 6-year-old daughter, Ainsley, is confused about how this happened.

It’s LIVE TV Zack. You have to watch the commercials. Geez, she’ll tell him.

I mean, hasn’t everyone on the planet lived with commercials since television […]

I’m very proud to tell you that an essay I wrote about motherhood is being featured on Mothering Heights in Christine Fugate’s 2nd Annual Mothering Heights Mother’s Day Anthology.

I wrote an essay titled It’s Just Not About Them about the place of men in my life pre- and post-children. There are many other fantastic […]
