I love it when Baby Girl and Mini-Me get to spend time with TechBoo. I get tired just watching them. So much energy and joy.
Thanks, as always, to El Ex for making this possible. Because he acts like a grown up and doesn’t disparage TechBoo (or me, for that matter) to our girls, the girls [...]
This station break from reading/review writing is brought to you by…my future stepdaughter #1. What shall I call her on this blog??? Hmm.
I got it: Li’l Mama.
So…my day started with a nice little chat with Li’l Mama. I’m still looking for a poem for her to read during our wedding ceremony. In all our giddiness, [...]
I had some baklava with my lunch at this Mediterranean place today. Baklava is all honey-yumminess, but mostly I love it because my Nay-Nay introduced me to it when I was a kid. Nay-Nay was always bringing the world to me in a white paper bag or covered styrofoam bowl. I wrote a tribute to [...]
Spending some one-on-one time today and tomorrow with Mini-Me, starting wtih breakfast at our favorite crepes place. Then errands, then basketball practice, then…who knows? A day, a treasure.

First, this afternoon, El Ex and I are signing on the dotted line with our fabulous agent, Danielle Chiotti of Upstart Crow Literary Agency. Danielle will rep up us, shopping our co-parenting book proposal around to publishing houses. Fingers crossed for [...]
Since TechBoo started a new job last fall, he doesn’t have the same access to email and phone that he did in his previous job. So when he texted me to see how my meeting went this morning with the agent who is interested in the co-parenting book that El Ex and I are [...]
…being on the phone with TechBoo as he and my future bonus-daughters sing “This Christmas” and various and sundry songs by New Edition. Bonus-Daughter #2 does a nice rendition of this:
And the evening’s finale? TechBoo serenading me with this:
But wait…Bonus Daughter #2 is back…with this:
And she hit every note!
But of course TechBoo wants to have [...]
So tomorrow night, TechBoo and I get to celebrate another first together: Our first Chanukah party. What to bring? I’m leaning towards a bottle of wine and the jelly doughnuts (which, coincidentally, will come from the new kosher Dunkin’ Donuts that recently opened up nearby).
Saturday night, the celebrating continues with a birthday slumber party for [...]
