I’m so not in the mood to blog anything, and I haven’t been doing much writing either. But I thought I would just mention that I am NOT a 75 year old man with gout. I saw a podiatrist on Monday and it turns out I have tendinitis, which likely developed as I overcompensated for [...]

I’m going to the Blogher conference this summer in San Francisco. I’m glad it’s back on the West coast, because I went two years ago, but missed it last year when it was held in Chicago. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
I just learned of a potential opportunity to read one of my essays [...]

My blog peeps gone done me proud. When Zoe’s dad, Paul, thanked me for taking on this fund raiser for a laptop, [...]

Welcome to my website. I’m sorry it looks so crappy today, but my CSS disappeared. And? I have no idea how to fix it. We’ll see if I can convince my loving and handsome husband (flattery sometimes works) to fix it tonight after spending the entire day staring at his computer for work. [...]

Lee LeFever over at Common Craft posted a new tutorial on Twitter that’s entertaining to watch. In fact, I posted the video here:
I’ve been blogging a lot less, lately, in an effort to focus more on my responsibilities at home. This has been good for my family life, but being a Stay [...]

Yesterday’s post was a bit hasty, and I forgot something very important: Thanks to Jeffrey Overstreet for signing a book for this giveaway! I encourage you all to check out his blog, Looking Closer. It’s full of great movie reviews, links, and other culture-related information.
Also? He’s sending Cyndere’s Midnight, the sequel [...]

I will have to pass on writing an eloquent post for announcing the winner of the Bloggy Giveaway - I had a sick child this morning and am now rushing around Getting Things Done before the next person in this family comes down with the pukes.
So, in this very anti-climactic way, I announce Knittinchick as [...]

Judging by my plummeting stats, you all are feeling the same about this blog as I am - bleh. I hear ya. I’m just not that into it either, so no offense taken.
I’ve been putting a lot of energy into my new lifestyle of waking up, working out, cleaning the house, and [...]

Things are finally falling into place concerning my other writing gig (I just love saying that - writing ‘gig’), and I will hereby unveil it in this post.
In juuust a minute.
But first, a little context. By now you’ve probably figured out that despite the drinking and the swearing and the boob shots, I am [...]

I was looking through my archives yesterday and noticed that tomorrow is the two year anniversary of blogging at my own domain! Yea me!
I was also reading through some of those old posts, which was both fun and enlightening. I was seriously depressed back then. And angry. And Bryan and I were [...]

I had a blast last night, but after it ended at 10:30 I sat around waiting for Bryan to break down all his video gear. This took over an hour and was not something I could really help with, so I ended up using his cell phone to send about 800 twitter updates to [...]

I am an awkward conversationalist in new settings. I like knowing people, but I hate meeting them. What’s to talk about? I usually resort to talking endlessly about myself, which is never fun for anyone… including me.

I was invited to a blogger meetup last night at KOMO tv that Chris Pirillo helped organize. I was expecting to find the usual crowd of familiar faces that I see at these events, but was pleasantly surprised to meet some new people.
Elisabeth came with me - she is the administrator [...]
