It’s raining

In: Friends, work work work

This may mean no Red, White & Boom festivities at the Clippers game tonight. It may mean no Clippers game. I’m not all that heart-broken about it but Madison is. She says, “I’ve never did Red, White & Boom before!” I’ve never did either but you don’t see me complaining. Of course I’m old and [...]

It’s another one of the 2.5 bugs. You get locked out and the reset password link doesn’t work. But this is why I love open source stuff — there’s a fix on the wordpress forums that works just fine and you know the developers are working on a more permanent solution.
I heart open source! And [...]

I just deleted a post

In: Friends

It wasn’t quite a rant — more like a frustrated cry to the blogging heavens. I channeled Brett and he would have told me to delete it so I did. I’m still frustrated but am not sure if I’m being helpful or passive aggressive so erred on the side of not putting things down to [...]

Stating the obvious: It’s Thursday

In: Friends

But around here Thursday means go-go-go. Thursday is the day that makes me love my freelance lifestye. Thursday is the day where Brett is thrilled not to have a “real” job. Thursday is park day and evening with friends day and the day my kids hang with the community that’s known them almost as long [...]

About Me

I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.

I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
