In recent years after several life milestones rudely bitch-slapped me in the face, the Martini and I have enjoyed each other’s company more now that we ever did back in my 20’s when vodka tasted (to me) like Listerine gone bad. And gin was something you used to clean the bathtub. Is there anyone out there who really knows how to make a fabulous Martini?

Closet Organization Tips from the Severely Disorganized
Closet organizers are not really my forte. For me closets have traditionally been a place to hide a mess until I can get to it later. Which is never. After a while I’m afraid to go into any closet in my house because I worry an errant glove might’ve mated with an abandoned Whoopee Cushion, […]
Jousting With the Universe
If I could script my life the way I’ve penned my screenplays I’d live in a little bungalow somewhere on the west coast, right on the beach, anywhere between Del Mar and Carmel (I’m not picky). I’d be paid a boatload of money to write funny novels that big studios would then turn into blockbuster […]
Mother Bloggers Tackles the Big Questions and Mommy Guilt
Have you had the big talk with your kids yet? And no, I’m not talking about getting them to explain to you how the PS-3 you already own can be used in place of an expensive DVR-blueray player. (Although if you haven’t had that discussion yet, you should. It can save you hundreds of dollars.) […]
Pee Pants to the Rescue
As a mom I’ve often had to stop for frequent bathroom breaks on long family car trips…usually because of me. Having two sons it’s always irked me that if they have to go to the bathroom after we’ve embarked on that long ribbon of highway, all we have to do is pull off at the […]
Moms From A to Zed
I just read my good friend Susie’s latest blog post, Guilt, the Gift that Keeps on Giving, over at Not Your Average Mom, and I must say I can totally relate. I’ve included a direct link to the post at the end of this post, but in nutshell, Susie spaced on going to her seven-year-old’s […]
What Women Really Want for Valentine’s Day
If you go into any grocery store or mall right now you can’t escape the saccharinely sappy parade of Valentine’s Day teddy bears holding hearts, heart shaped boxes of chocolates, anemic bouquets of cellophane-wrapped roses, and cutesy cards adorned with sparkly dust (which, by the way, shed more than Tinkerbell battling a bad case of […]
A Photobomb Christmas
As I was going through my email this weekend, thinning out all the junk that my spam filter somehow misses, I came across a hilarious Huffington Post Comedy blog called 25 LOL-Worthy Holiday Photobombs. Basically, these are what would have been nice, even downright poignant or sweet family photos if some buffoon hadn’t jumped into […]
I Used to Be Cool
I was folding clothes the other day when I objectively looked at a pair of my sensible, Spandex, industrial-strength underwear and thought, Ew, yuck. These are NOT cool. These are so UNCOOL they make Betty White draped in a gansta hoodie and pajama jeans look cool. No way would you ever see these lame-o granny […]
Confessions of a Band Geek Mom, Free!
I love free stuff. Don’t you just love free stuff? Of course you do. So in honor of the crazy holiday shopping that sneaks up on us in just nine short days (a.k.a. Black Friday) I’m kicking off a campaign this coming weekend called Jumpstart on Black Friday where I’m offering you the Kindle version […]
