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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s been one of those weeks…busy, but all good. So many things on the radar, but I thought I’d post this sad story about TechBoo’s favorite singer, Mary J. Blige Anita Baker.
Memo to Anita: I feel for you, but it’s never a good idea to piss off “exasperate” a judge.
Anita Baker Could Face Jail in [...]
Why is today made of awesome sauce, you ask? Why is it gonna be lovely?
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 [...]
Sometimes, you need 10,000 Maniacs. Not 9,999; only 10,000 will do:
…and other times, you just need to Wonder:
Good morning, new day! Let’s do this…

…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 [...]
Props to my Techboo, my best friend, for remembering the anniversary of when we first met, 3 years ago. I forgot, but let me make it up to you, dear:
It’s not an overstatement to say that TechBoo loves Mary J. Blige. When I proudly told him that I’d managed to mention his favorite singer in my latest co-parenting post at The Faster Times, he gave me the side eye.
“Don’t I get points for that?” I asked.
“AFTER I read it,” he replied. [...]
Suffice it to say that for Techboo and me, our dance card is full between now and the new year.
After Thanksgiving (which we are hosting), we’ve already RSVPed for 2 holiday parties and a Chanukah party. I’m doing a Kwanzaa presentation in BabyGirl’s kindergarten class, complete with cornbread baking activity (Jiffy!). Plus, there’s [...]
