Friday, January 13th, 2012

It’s a blessing and a curse that I’ve married a man who is a very good dancer. My bonus kids are good dancers too. This means that FedBooHusband and I have had some memorable nights on the dance floor in various cities.  He’s full of energy and makes me feel like I’m the only woman [...]

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

As usual, time with FedBooHusband leaves me feeling some kind of way. Several kinds of ways actually. Wistful, always wishing we had more time. But then resolute that things are they way they have to be because of the commitment we both happily make as parents.  And then wistful again because our time together is [...]

Dear FedBooHusband: Have You Forgotten Who You’re Married To?

Friday, October 28th, 2011

(Yes, I know I ended that sentence with a preposition.) My dear husband has informed me that we’re joining some colleagues of his for a salsa rueda dance lesson, followed by a dance party, this weekend. What’s salsa rueda, you ask?  Here’s what it’s supposed to look like: And here’s what I’m working with: But [...]

“Ma’am?…Ma’am!”: In Which I Go For My Annual Mammogram

Friday, July 15th, 2011

This isn’t me, and this picture does not convey the depth of the titty smashing that occurs. So I woke up dreading today.  I dread this day every year, the day of my mammogram. My mother died of breast cancer in 2005, at age 52.  She was diagnosed at 49.*  Even though I know that [...]

Tip #865: Making Long-Distance Love Work – Iron Chef Edition

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

So, TechBooHusband decided to have a little fun tonight.  Neither of us have kids with us or any deadlines looming, so he suggested we give each other 3 ingredients as a challenge to make a meal.  I was game.  We went to the grocery store, and then got on Skype with our webcams as we [...]

So, not that I needed anything else to play with, but…I now have a Tumblr.  See/hear/feel it.

Toot-toot…heyyyy…beep-beep

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

My apologies for the not entirely appropriate use of Ms. Donna Summer, but I got some things I want to toot my horn about. First up… Tonight at 9 EST, I’ll have the pleasure of joining two awesome gents, WiseMath and Inkognegro, on their show The Black Odd Couple to discuss my webinar, Write Your [...]

Counting Blessings…Long Overdue

Friday, February 25th, 2011

It’s been a minute since I posted a blessings post.  I haven’t stopped counting them, but I don’t always share.  Today, however, I was reminded of how blessed I am, particularly in my co-parenting relationship with El Ex. 1. I’m blessed that he is committed to putting our kids and their needs first, above our [...]
