8th Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary.

We feel like wearing an “I survived the 7 Year Itch” t-shirt.

We’re in a better, happier, more comfortable, more stable, more loving, deeper, more affectionate, more real, place now than we ever have been. At least I feel that way.

The 7 year itch was like a journey into marriage war, […]

Independence Day

Suze Orman sent me an email asking if I am striving for my own personal financial independence this July 4th.

When you joined the Save Yourself movement, you also made a declaration. You said to yourself: “I own the power to control my destiny.” Now I ask you: What action have you taken lately to fulfill […]

His & Hers Shave Off

Schick sent me this pretty little pink Quattro Razor.

I told them, look I’ve never found a women’s razor that worked as good as my husbands. I use the Schick Quatro for men. (Total coincidence that it’s the same company.)

The thing is I’ve no problem using men’s products if they work better. I wear men’s […]

Equal Families - NY Times

My friend Violet send me a very fascinating New York Times article about the struggles of getting and maintaining equality in a family.

It takes a very interesting look at what many, including probably myself, think of as the ideal - mom and dad working 30ish flexible hours and sharing equally the housework and parenting.

Life, and […]

15 Years - Suck It Up

I find very few flaws in the logic of Leslie Bennetts in her book FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?
Her logic is such that I find myself saying, She’s right. Why did I make such a self-defeating choice to quit my fulltime professional newspaper job?

Until the chapter where she reminds me why, […]

Sorority of Motherhood Hazing

I was at a social event the other day and there was a New Mommy.

Anther woman, who’s youngest child is around 11 or so, says to New Mommy as she puts a itty-bitty blankie over the infant’s legs, You know you’re not supposed to keep them too warm, and she turned to me with a […]

Wooing the HRC Women

Wooing the 18 Million Hillary Clinton votes - especially the “angry women.” Sarah Haskings is my new favorite celebrity. Thanks for the tip Violet.

Stress for SAHMs v. Working Moms

Mothers periodically reevaluate whether they should go back to work or quit their jobs - depending on their current situation.
I found these fascinating statistics in FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?.
One Harvard and Cornell study found that
Women who were homemakers at the beginning of their three-year study and and then went to […]

The First Mrs. McCain

The Daily Story has an article about the First Mrs. John McCain, Carol.

Mrs. McCain #1 was a beauty queen when John married her, but when he returned home from the war, she was disfigured and had a shattered pelvis from a terrible and debilitating car accident. Sitting in the wheelchair caused her to gain a […]

Black Grandmothers

by Tracee Sioux

I was anxious to find the Hillary-supporting women who have been saying they will vote for McCain or refrain from voting all together. I have read their arguments on the Internet and they seemed illogical, hysterical, and easily distracted to me - until I met them.
I was shocked out of my […]

Working Woman Survey

The Association of University Women and some other political action groups which aim to improve working conditions and benefits for women are asking your opinion.

That’s right, you can participate in the political process by taking a simple survey about how you work, why you work, when you work, what’s stopping you from working and what […]

Underestimate Oprah?

It really annoys me that people will underestimate or dismiss Oprah.

When you underestimate Oprah, you underestimate women.

You underestimate women politically and underestimate women’s impact on the economy.

Go ahead men, roll your eyes when we say “I saw it on Oprah.” Do your “pshaw” minimizing all you want to. Discount women’s impact on the word at […]
