So, I lost seven pounds at Disney World. SEVEN FUCKING POUNDS. At first I thought it was water weight because I basically sweat until my clothing was dripping each time I ventured out of the hotel, but it hasn’t come back since I’m home, so YEE HA! This brings me to a total loss of [...]

When we pulled into the driveway last night, our car covered in dead bugs from the thousand mile drive, we all breathed a sigh of relief. We piled out of the car without unloading so that we could have our reunion with my mom and the dog without being laden with luggage. Hugs were given [...]

It’s been overwhelming and amazing. Here’s a snapshot. (Story is a new app from Disney. It’s free! And awesome! This is not sponsored.)

It’s predawn and my family is sleeping. I can hear both Tori and Charlie snoring softly behind me as I type this; we’re in a cheap roadside hotel outside of Jacksonville, Florida. Today we finish our two day drive, and arrive at Disney World. I don’t think I’ve ever written here about how Disney Land [...]

So I was in California this weekend at a conference where I was speaking (yep, another trip, and I’ve got one more this week but that one is FUN) at what was likely the most beautiful place I’ve ever been, and while I was talking with the kinds of friends I only get to see [...]

I’m writing this as I’m sitting on a balcony at a hotel in California. The Ritz-Carlton in Laguana Nigel, to be exact, here for the Mom 2.0 Summit. I’m speaking on Saturday, which I think will be lovely, and right now I’m basking in the gorgeous view and rapidly cooling down air outside while smelling [...]

As I boarded the bus, the driver nodded to me, and I felt my heart tumble into a memory. With his white, slicked back short hair and sticking out ears, the driver reminded me so much of my paternal grandfather that it actually hurt. Grandpa Howard was a slight man thanks to years of walking [...]

Monday I woke up for the third day in a row in a fucking MOOD. It started Friday night when Charlie and I went to see The Place Beyond The Pines, a smart and intriguing movie that I completely fucking hated. Like Ryan Gosling AND Bradley Cooper couldn’t save it for me. Charlie felt badly [...]

“I think I’m ready for bed!” She says, her face breaking into a semi-toothless yawn. I’d just checked the weather map and saw that a big thunderstorm was coming through, and I knew she gets nervous with the noise and lightning. “Honey,” I reply, “there’s a storm coming; why don’t you watch Sponge Bob and [...]

Ack. I can’t believe I’ve been writing here so infrequently! As always, there are reasons, but what’s more boring than a blogging apologizing for not blogging? Shit. Anyhow. So, I’ve been busy. I’ve been working on a writing project that is on a topic I knew little about before a couple weeks ago (performance marketing), [...]

I’m listening to a collection of arias and duos from Handel, and I feel soothed by the soaring voices and the gentle melodies that are the hallmark of Handel. I’m finding, lately, that I need the soothing. Things are generally pretty good, yet I find myself letting my mood get darkened by outside stuff that [...]
