I’m fairly certain that I’ve posted a blog entry with this exact title before. Because it’s true. I’ve always been blessed with good friends, even though many times in my life I’ve nevertheless felt alone in the world. After my mom, grandmother, and dad died in 2005, which coincided with the break up of my [...]
Let’s see…
Awakened at 1 AM by a noise, sounds like a Mack truck in my furnace room. Call TechBoo to troubleshoot. End up having to cut the power off to the furnace at the circuit breaker. Send text to plumbing/heating/contracting guy. Drag portable heater into girls’ bathroom so that they can get dressed in a [...]
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 [...]
As usual, it’s a multi-tasking fest here in Mamalicious-land. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I’m feeling good today. It helps that my morning with Mini-Me and BabyGirl was uneventful. They made it to the bus stop (which means I didn’t have to drive!), and they had biscuits for breakfast, which is always [...]
I’m usually late when it comes to trends related to fitness and technology, so maybe hot yoga isn’t new to you, but it is to me. New and FABULOUS!
I went to a 6:30 AM (!!!!) class this morning with my friend Staycee. I worked out yesterday with “Raoul”, so I was a bit [...]
“Multitasking has become a necessity in everyday life. To eliminate it completely, I needed to find out where it began. The term “multitasking” was created for computers, not humans, enabling its users to surf the Web for summer tanks, print reports, and download the latest John Legend CD all at the same time. This is [...]
Here are some of the latest posts over at my other blog baby, CoParenting101.org:
For those parents who did not get the memo: Co-Parenting: It’s not about you…
…still, the put-on-your-oxygen-mask-first rule applies: Co-Parenting and Healing: Rising from the ashes of divorce
And finally a little throwback text: Divorce by the Book
Tell a co-parenting friend!
I was still sulking about the fact that TechBoo and I are bad for the environment, when good ol’ Raving Black Lunatic came along and brightened my day with some good news. The distance, literally, between TechBoo and me, may actually be good for us, according to the implications of this article from The Atlantic. [...]
For a long time, I’ve been drawn to tragic biographies. Ever since my senior year in high school when I worked shelving books in the media department of the main branch of the Jacksonville (FL) Public Library, I’ve been fascinated by turbulent life stories, those of celebrities in particular. As I shelved, I [...]
The year: 1989. The place: Yale, The Afro-American Cultural Center (bka “The House”)
Me, a freshman, not dancing, just holding up the wall as the song below plays. The album it’s from, along with “Poison” (BBD, “Never trust a big butt and a smile…”), was the soundtrack to my freshman year:
Question: Did we really [...]
