getting pregnant may not be an American right, but feeling better is.

Sit right down folks because I’m about to get all TMI on you (seriously, again.) I have found that going through this kerfuffle to make moosh 2.0 has been a blessing in disguise. I was so focused on getting that baby in me and getting it out of me that I failed to realize justContinue reading “getting pregnant may not be an American right, but feeling better is.”

I will not be bought, only borrowed, occasionally.

My big ads are gone. After staring at my site tonight and being disappointed with the Internet in general I realized that I don’t even like Ragu, I like to take pictures. Besides, I buy Prego (when I don’t make my own from scratch with organic homegrown tomatoes and herbs of course.) When I drinkContinue reading “I will not be bought, only borrowed, occasionally.”

camarohmygosh.

Chevy is a sponsor of this thing in Chicago. They had a silver Camaro sitting on the expo floor. I asked if I could sit in it. Not only did they say yes, they said there was one outside THAT I COULD DRIVE. And it was yellow. So I did. (turn up the sound toContinue reading “camarohmygosh.”

twarbie.

Twitter. A place of unending entertainment. Mother of a four year old. Another place of unending entertainment. (And stickers on your face to negate your existence.) The other night I sent out this tweet. Within a few minutes I had a few responses. and then came the request for a picture. take a minute. soakContinue reading “twarbie.”

a chance to see my uterus and eating habits.

So. Lupron. Heard of it? If not, allow me to school you. Lupron is a shot that sends its victim patient into medical menopause. Nothing like medical menopause at 27 years old. I was becoming okay with the idea of a big shot to send me into crazy until I found out how much itContinue reading “a chance to see my uterus and eating habits.”

about being a panda in a rabbit world.

Tiny Gramma told me one night a few months ago while I was sobbing into the phone “I don’t know why I was a rabbit and you ended up a panda.” If you’ve ever watched Planet Earth (which if you haven’t you have no business being on any sort of technology whatsoever) you’ll know thatContinue reading “about being a panda in a rabbit world.”

falling on my face.

The day is coming that I will hurt you. Or offend you. Consider this your warning as I am just now beginning to acknowledge that this is my curse/gift. I hurt people unintentionally. A lot. When I think I’m being funny, or ironic, or helpful it turns out that I’m only causing another person griefContinue reading “falling on my face.”

what are miles when we have wireless?

“Would you say you’ve met people you could call your friends online?” “Of course. I flew out in less that 24 hours to be by the side of a friend whom I consider to be one of the closest I have ever had whom I met online and had only met in person three timesContinue reading “what are miles when we have wireless?”

four drama, angst and heartache.

Dear tiny gramma, the moosh is just like me. Go ahead and gloat. Need examples? Well first there was the “I want a new mom.” debacle of May 2009. Apparently asking her to get dressed was not in the mother/daughter manifesto leaving her to fire me only to rehire me after she realized she couldn’tContinue reading “four drama, angst and heartache.”

how photoshop can seal a friendship.

Maybe you’ve heard of Jessica Gottlieb? She was my gracious host in L.A. We’ve gone our rounds. She makes really good ribs. She describes herself as prickly. I describe her as brutally honest and just plain lovely. If she were ever made into a superhero? She’d totally be Scarlett. “Scarlett is confident and resilient… it’sContinue reading “how photoshop can seal a friendship.”
