I talk about my family a lot. Mostly because I love them and mostly because they are all sofa king crazy, you can’t help but laugh. But my father, whom I adore, is the one that provides never-ending blog fodder. He is an extremely smart man, and well intentioned. He is also a passionate, handsome, [...]
And now…for something completely different. My 15 year old son told me a story last week. And it was the kind of story that made me laugh so much, my rib cage hurt. So I asked him, to please, please, please, consider writing it as a Guest Post for my blog. Much to my surprise, [...]
Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow writer, Margaret Andrews. She’s the author of the book Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better. And, she’s the author of the blog Nanny Goats In Panties. Oh, and she’s totally-super-awesome. Since Margaret lives in California, and I live in [...]
Blissfully sleeping within the confines of my ever-so cozy oasis, a strange yet familiar ringing woke me up. I sprung out of bed, wiped the crust from my eyes, and blinked myself into consciousness. Who the hell is ringing my doorbell at 8am on a Saturday morning? I wondered. I peered out my bedroom window [...]
I just finished reading the book: Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better, by my friend, Margaret Andrews. Not only did I learn valuable tools about writing, I found myself laughing out loud, a lot. This book is insightful, smart, witty, educational, hilarious, and quite frankly a MUST READ [...]
The last few weeks of my life have been incredibly difficult, to say the least. Let’s recap. Shall, we? First, I almost died. Like for real. Then, after seeing my allergist – per ‘Medical Instructions’ I survived on a steady diet of cheese, and chicken broth, for thirteen days, in a row. My doctor, determined [...]
“The doctor will see you now,” a stout, redheaded, nurse called out from behind the glass partition. I put down the gossip magazine and kept replaying the events of my Near Death Experience over and over in my mind. Still hoping it was all a bad dream, I slowly made my way back to the [...]
When the police arrived, my throat had already swollen shut. “She’s going into Anaphylaxis shock,” the Officer radioed the paramedics while strapping a cold, plastic, oxygen mask to my face. “What did you have to eat?” He asked. But I couldn’t answer him. I motioned to my 15-year-old son, Justin, who called 911, to get [...]
I really miss you. More than I ever thought I would. And…quite frankly? As a nation, we need you back. Like, immediately. I remember the day you left us, as if it was yesterday. I discovered your obituary precisely on July 6, 2007 at 12:35 pm. And while I mourned your passing, somehow, I was [...]
It was 5pm on a Thursday evening, when I received the phone call I had been anxiously awaiting all day. It was my dear friend Nicky, from the blog, We Work For Cheese. She had arrived in New Jersey. She spent the day driving all the way down from ‘Even More Canada’ for eight hours [...]
