One afternoon, I see a woman at the my son’s fun run who I haven’t seen in years. We were quite close back in the day, but since a thingthatIwontgointo, we’ve only spoken once or twice on Facebook. One of those Facebook times cleared the air and I still care about her, but I am [...]

I decide to go to Staples (by myself this time) to get glitter because earlier in the day, my daughter and I went for a walk and found pine cones. I immediately thought of glue and glitter and when I voiced these thoughts aloud, my daughter eyes went GLITTERGLITTERGLITTER all the way home. After much [...]

I love Christmas even more than Halloween. The tinsel, the presents, the lights, the joy, the mix of the material and the spiritual. The Caroling of Bells still brings me to tears. And so much red! My favorite color! Which brings me to this: I fully support ignoring Thanksgiving. And yes, this is the first [...]

A few weeks ago, I was having a bad day. And night. I did what any forlorn human would do: I found a giant piece of cake, took my picture and ate the cake while making a poster of myself. I, of course, tweeted, tumbled, and facebooked it, which seems so sad when I type [...]

Remember how I made fun of Twitter last week? That was hilarious, but it got me thinking. {shudder} I’ve been pondering my social media time; not like when I threatened to leave Twitter and became a silent and boring stalker, but I might be a touch overly attached to the Internet. Here’s what I committed [...]

Those of us who have embraced social media to its fullest, who have made friends and made careers of or because of it, can be a quite defensive when an IRL (in real life) friend dismisses Twitter or Facebook. Or when a great writer or a psychologist rails against it hurting the creativity and creating [...]

Writing about the darkness helped. Reading your comments here and in secret Facebook messages and on the Twitter helped. Finding this picture of my daughter helped. Taking a picture of my hat-stealing husband as he flexed and said: How can you be depressed when you’ve got a guy like me? helped. Following it up with [...]
