Am I the only one who pretends I’m Bill Gates watching those Apple commercials? How does Bill Gates feel watching those commercials?
It makes me giggle because it’s true. It’s sooo true.
And it’s about freaking time they included some women.
OK - I just love that they called her genius instead of geek. Not […]

I’m allergic to cats and my husband says “NO” to a puppy.
So I was at this garage sale way out in the country and they were selling their hampsters.
For a mere $5 they sold me two hampsters and this cool orange and blue cage that looks like Apple designed it, plus a bag of shavings […]
So my friend Mrs. Blogoway tells me, at our last bookclub - slash - wine tasting, that she’s been talking to this Seattle blogger on the phone. And that she’s got a layover in Seattle coming up and she called her blogger friend, Mona from kirida.com, and they’re going to hang out.
Cool.
But, then […]

I turned 35 on Saturday.
We had a California picnic at the lake.
My husband got me this fabulous Momsrising.org T-shirt.
Of course, what I want for my birthday is equal pay, family leave insurance, and gender equality. It’s not just a t-shirt. It’s political action.
He gets me.
When I was a teenager I thought I’d be stupid […]
So, Chevy allowed my family to drive a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid across the country, from Dallas to Salt Lake City, on our way to BlogHer08. You can’t imagine my gratitude (My 1995 van broke down right before we left and we just found out it will cost $900 to fix the air conditioner.)
I was […]
I hear mothers talk about how sacrifice is “worth it” for their kids. I especially hear this if mother’s have given up something valuable - economic independence, dreams, ambitions, time, goals, careers, autonomy, hobbies, interests, etc.
When did I - as a human being - lose my inherent value? Was it when I stopped […]
In The Weekly Standard is a very interesting article, The Kindergarchy, by Joseph Epstein, which illuminates how parenting has shifted into making kids believe they are the Center of The Universe. Which is really not in their best interests.
What I have in mind is something more endemic–a phenomenon that affects large stretches of the middle […]
First Magazine is looking for women who want to share body confidence stories.
One of the stories is about a gift that helped boost a woman’s body confidence.
The other is about a family tradition that help’s a woman feel good about her body.
The women who are featured in these stories will be professionally styled and photographed […]
Remember the Boston Tea Party?
The tag line was No Taxation without Representation!
During women’s suffrage No Taxation without Representation! was a tagline also used to get women the vote.
Of course, men’s response back then was “you don’t work, you don’t pay taxes.”
Except that now 72% of us do work and all of us […]

Today is the last day of my family vacation. My brother, who I only see once a year, left this morning. My other brother, who I only see once a year, left last night.
Bitter. Sweet.
Sweet cause I did get to see them and we’ve had a great time with virtually no drama - but bitter […]
