Tomorrow evening I leave for five days in New York. I will miss this face. Lately, I’ve been all over The818’s Facebook page, adding steaming fresh piles of content for you to waste time on. Have you given it a like? It would make me feel warm inside. Read more →

I Hate Hope
It was a mantra of mine for a while. After Delilah was born, I was depressed for a really long time. Much, much longer than I really realized or was willing to admit. Mental illness is a funky chicken like that — it’s so organic in the way it twists your mind you think your thoughts are perfectly normal. That’s… Read more →
I Need Black Wedges (Yes, I Do Mean Need.)
I never buy new shoes. Like, EVER. Because the investment terrifies me, and I want to pick good ones. Which kind of makes outfits hard because while I have a closet full from my serious shopaholic days, my feet grew two sizes in pregnancy and I don’t have the pain tolerance to suck it up. Anyway, it has become apparent… Read more →
E is for Effort.
A week from now, I’ll be in New York. Surrounded by people. Real LIVE! ADULT! people. {I capitalized live adult to show my excitement but now it just looks dirty. I swear, no one will be naked. At least, no one plans to be. I also never planned to pose for this picture.} {Uhhhh…NSFW? I don’t think I’ve ever had… Read more →

Sweet Little Lies
It’s no secret my girl is tempestuous. So, there are a couple of areas in which my formerly go-with-the-flow laid back husband and I have had to institute a “zero tolerance” policy with little miss Dee. Namely hitting. The girl hits peers, dogs, and full-grown adult men indiscriminately and without warning…not to mention me…in my face…it’s like she took the… Read more →
Legacy
We’ll tell all we know of suspect, but I’ll try not to use his name much. History should remember those who died, not their killer. @AC360 — Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) July 21, 2012 By now, we’ve all had a moment to absorb what happened in the wee hours of yesterday in Aurora, Colorado. I know I have. I’ve read obsessively,… Read more →
OutMyWindow: The Prettiest, Safest Photo-Sharing App I Ever Did See {And it’s FREE!}
{Post sponsored by BlogHer and outmywindow} So, I briefly mentioned that a couple of weeks ago the kind folks at Warner Bros invited a bunch of us blogger-types us out to their movie lot to unveil their brand spankin’ new photo sharing app; Outmywindow. I always love going to these kinds of things because it’s kind of like INTERNET! LIVE!… Read more →
Boy Scouts, You Are Wrong.
{via} On Tuesday, the LA Times Reported: HOUSTON — The Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday reaffirmed the organization’s policy of excluding gays, despite recent protest campaigns by members, including some of the group’s board. The announcement came after a confidential two-year review by an 11-member special committee formed by Scout leaders in 2010, a spokesman said. I’m a little… Read more →
Real Ultimate Power
I just flew in from Milwaukee and boy are my arms tired. The past few days have been some of the most exhilarating and freeing of my life and I can’t believe I didn’t think that motorcycling would be for me. Starting Sunday night when I learned how to pick up an 800 lb touring bike (not like, over my… Read more →
