Winston has this endearing little habit of saying ‘Thank you’ and ‘You’re Welcome’ whenever only one would be appropriate. She also says ‘I love you too’ when I swoop in for kisses (though I think I’ve mentioned this before.) Her ezcema is still a problem, but she’s become very keen on her nightly [...]

I went out to lunch today, which is something I try to do most days, so that I can sit in my car at any point between 12 and 2 and listen to the Glenn Mitchell show on the local PBS affiliate. It was just before noon, I was starving and so I decided [...]

I have this set of books by Linda Goodman, an astrologer, called Love Signs, published in the early 70’s, about the compatability between signs. Throughout the books, she’s quoted bits and pieces from Peter Pan to illustrate her grief over the loss of her daughter, Sally. All I know about Sally is what [...]

Well. I am officially off the dating market. I have met and started seriously dating an incredible guy, and the whole dating/relationship/sex thing suddenly seems worth all the trouble.
I’m also cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year – so, you know, not everything is perfect but it’s pretty close.

So… I’ve been just a little curious about who might be reading this blog, and I was wondering if you would leave me a little message and tell me who you are? I can’t think of any clever ways of drawing you readers out such as a smarmy “national de-lurking day” but… you [...]

I just took down my profile on match.com again because of my previous posts from today talking about how desperate I am for sex. I just feel sort of sleazy now, and I’m done with shallow sex. Which is why I’m not having it. Which is why I took down the silly [...]

I emailed Bear’s teacher to apologize for being so flaky, and she wrote back and said, no problem – it’s next Thursday anyway. Now, of course, I don’t feel bad because I went back and checked the last email she sent in which she confirmed the date AND it WAS yesterday. Maybe she’s [...]

Jesus. I can’t work. I am trying hard to stay productive, but all I can think about is sex. I even went online to match.com and trolled for “currently separated” men over 30 (also under 30, but definitely over 25!) who really only seem to be interested in sex themselves… because let’s [...]

I need a personal assistant, except the problem is – I’m not exactly the busiest mother in the world. I just need an assistant because I can’t seem to get my shit together. I missed a parent-teacher conference last night with Bear’s teacher. I remembered it just as we were walking into [...]

I’ve been doing a whole lot of thinking, self-examination about my divorce lately. Now, this might explain why I’ve been in such a crappy mood. Plus, I’m getting sick. Little Monkey was down yesterday and it appears we’ve all been infected.
