It seems we all have very strong opinions on skinny jeans! I do feel that we should have learned lessons from the eighties. I will say this, my very worst hair decision ever – and this is even worse than my 1985 mullet that my mom had home permed – was to cut my hair […]
Batting 500

It all started when I read my friend Swistle’s post about behaviours that are “mom-ish” and behaviours that are “old lady-ish”. For example, referring to youth as “young people today”, fumbling for change while the grocery store lineup expands behind, and so forth.

I am pleased to report the happy news that there have been zero barfing incidents since the first day of school.

One of the things I love most about blogging is how much I learn. My mind is expanding. I mean, really, who knew about modesty socks or fake cigarettes? WHO KNEW? I am enlightened. I am also confused because a very androgynous cashier called me “sir” today. I’m not sure why. I don’t think I […]
