Oh, Carmen. Guilt is a useless emotion. You are a superwoman in my book.

Hello, Guilt, My Old Friend
It seems to me that I live with feelings of guilt my entire day. I could work harder. I could be a better parent, a better spouse, certainly a better friend. I spend a lot of time thinking how I could be "better", be "more", be "on". I could be more creative, more "Martha Stewart" and less, I d...
Moving Along
The new site is coming along well. I have been putting in new plug-ins and adding new features and disconnecting things that I used for years here at Typepad but do not serve me well any longer. One of those... Continue reading

Thank you, old friend. (Not that you're "old." Just that I've known you almost since the beginning of this blog.

You May Have Noticed Something Different Around Here
The design of this blog has changed. The photos are no longer appearing. And there have been no new posts for a while. That's because I've finally done something I've threatened to do for a very long time: Move my blog off of the Typepad platform it's run on for the last NINE years and move on...

A Good Week
I took the Obama-Biden magnet off my car on Wednesday morning. The election was over, I was happy, and there was no need to show my support via vehicle advertising any longer. Besides, there are a lot of Republicans in... Continue reading

Six More Days
By this time next week, I'll either be exulting -- or depressed. Either way, the election will be over. Every Wednesday, I get to talk politics with some of my favorite people, and we record the conversations for posterity. Today,... Continue reading

Yeah. Too bad it's turning out to be such a nailbiter.

Why I'm Voting for President Obama
I really do try to keep my political rants here at a minimum (that's what the MOMocrats Facebook page is for). But it's been hard to do, especially now when the polls show a race that's a virtual tie. I'm a lifelong Democrat, so the candidate I choose is no surprise. What I want to do here is ...

Life Changing News
A couple of weeks ago, I took possession of a single serve coffeemaker. It is not 6:00 AM yet, and I've already had my first cup of coffee (espresso, actually). My kid's lunch has been made and I have time... Continue reading

The DMV Is NOT the Portal to Hell. Not Today.
They don't allow you to take photos inside the DMV, so I have no illustration for this post. That's not a big deal, as everyone already knows what this place is about. A few years ago, I laughed at Kevin... Continue reading

Sunday Brunch
My sister and her family were here on another whirlwind weekend visit. The occasion was to take high school senior Maddy on a tour of the Claremont Colleges. And while they were here, my brother-in-law visited his mom, my older... Continue reading

My Year of Living Dangerously
Remember how I started 2012 by breaking my thumb? And began the summer with a broken big toe on my driving foot? Last night, as I fumbled around in the dark, I stumbled right into the hallway pet gate we... Continue reading

I think of you every time I attend one of these Disney blogging events - that was so much fun ! I can't believe you haven't been back! (But you DO fly all over the country now, so you must be heading back this way some time, right)? When you do, we must try it again!

Halloween at Disneyland: A Wonderful Day at the Park
Saturday was an event I look forward to all year: Media Family Day at Disneyland -- which, for the last few years (at least) is also Gay Day at Disneyland. I'm not sure exactly why that tickles me so much: there's nothing really different about the group: men, women, couples and families -- a...
