Mom to Bee

Does anyone else out there have an insatiable urge to reconnect with old friends, even (or especially) if the friendship ended badly? You can pretty much guarantee that if you were once a friend of mine and our relationship ended more than five years ago, the thought of tracking you down on Facebook/Google and sending [...]

30 Posts of Truthiness Question Number Four: What is something you have to forgive someone for? Today’s post is about forgiveness and to be honest, forgiving people? Not really something that I do. Seriously, I can hold a grudge like a rusted-shut bear trap. So I really had to sit down and think about who [...]

Yesterday it was raining. So I grabbed my new hooded jacket and went about my day, dropping Bee off at preschool, sitting around the house doing absolutely nothing, picking Bee up at preschool… While waiting for her class to be dismissed, I even struck up a conversation with a cute mom of one of the [...]

You know what makes you totally feel like an alcoholic? You know, besides drinking a ton of the alky on a regular basis. Being pregnant. Can I get a holla, moms?? During both pregnancies, the thing I craved the worst was just a chug sip of some booze juice. With Bee, I craved red wine [...]

Well, it’s totally related to how quiet my location is. See, on Orcas Island, apparently it is frowned upon to talk. [...]

This last weekend, Sissy, Arla-Shay and I kicked our families to the curb and high-tailed it out of town to the San Juan Islands for a little girl time. Ooh, that sounds a little gay. And it was. Totally. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing I had a pregnancy pillow as a boundary [...]

Wow. That is all I have to say about today’s song title. Wow. And awesome. Okay, those are the TWO things I want to say about today’s song title. Wow, awesome, and who the fuck are Alice Donut? Okay, there are THREE things I wanted to say about today’s song title… Anywho, for those of [...]

Well, ladies and gentleman, it’s about that time… TIME TO GIVE AWAY MORE FREE SHIT ON THE BLOG!! Some of you may be familiar with Arla-Shay, my lover from another mother… I swear that she normally wears far less eyeshadow and glitter. And her eyes don’t normally glow red like the Devil either. Her husband, [...]
