Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , , , on September 29, 2009 | 11 Comments »

So I have been pondering how to sum up my first “blogger” weekend, where I spent two days with 16 strangers – all women bloggers, most of them moms – in Sacramento. Since I probably couldn’t do it justice in a few sentences, I thought it best to write up a list of the Top [...]

13 things you should know about me

Posted in About, part deux, Peaks & Valleys on September 22, 2009 | 9 Comments »

This weekend I am doing something new – I am spending a weekend with 16 women I’ve never met before. No, it’s not rehab or a yoga retreat. It’s a blogging get-together in Sacramento called the Blathering. How could I pass it up when it’s only 2 hours away? Plus there’s going to be wine [...]

A letter to a little person

To the little person we saw at the store yesterday, thank you. Thank you for helping me to get my son to eat something besides pizza and PB&J sandwiches. Before I proceed any further and get accused of being insensitive, let me make one thing clear: this post is in no way meant to offend the vertically-challenged. I [...]

Dear Tourist: Please read so I don’t have to shoot you

I know everyone’s a tourist at one point or another, but when you live in a tourist town, they start to drive you crazy after a while.

Paging Dr. Ball Grabber

Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , , on September 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »

What kind of day is it when you watch someone stick a finger up your husband’s butt AND another stranger grab his balls? Not a good day. It can also be called a LONG day and/or a day spent at the ER. All of the above is what I would call yesterday. I have to [...]
