Not too long ago, I ask what y’all listen to when you are down. I’ve been holding on to music a lot lately. The Green Day Pandora channel has saved me from tears on more afternoons than I can count. For awhile, I wanted to compile all the great songs and bands y’all sent me [...]

In the last few weeks, I finished American Gods: A Novel by Neil Gaiman and the Hunger Games Trilogy so my WHAT SHOULD I READ NEXT bar is high, which is why I’m coming to you smarty-pants reading readers. I have 67 books on my “to-read” list on Goodreads, but last night, as I scrolled [...]

Guess what? There’s a debt crisis. Or as Jon Stewart says: Armadebtdon 2011 Here’s a little bit of background in case you live in a hole in Montana. (PS. Please don’t bomb me.) We have a debt ceiling, $14.3 trillion, which sounds huge if you think of the fact that if you stacked dollar bills [...]

As you know, things are a bit upside down for me right now. I don’t even feel like writing (which scares the crap out of me), but I finished the first season of Glee so obviously the only thing left to do is blog. I don’t want to talk about what has sent me reeling. [...]

I love fireworks. The noise, the colors, the crowds. It’s like a rock concert but without the moshing (do people still mosh?) The last time I went, I looked like this: And I haven’t been back since it turns out fireworks in the summer are two hours past my kid’s bedtime and if your kids [...]

Okay people, I don’t want to this “I Ask” to be like my How do I keep from getting sick? where you just suggested that I drink vodka all day. I’m going for how to relax in that rejuvenate way that shower gels and spas promise. I don’t want to space out mindlessly on The [...]

Lisa (who you can blame for the existence of “Ask Alex”) asks: I am terrified of starting this “potty training.” How did you know when to start and how did you do it? So you know how everything you read says WAIT FOR SIGNS OF POTTY TRAINING READINESS? My kids forgot to read those three [...]
