From the monthly archives: June 2004
My daughter Iyende found an old commencement program from my high school graduation the other day. Looking through it brought back a lot of memories. There are so many things about high school I don’t remember, because I mentally checked out for much of it, but I did have good friends and good times there. [...]
Is nudity a cause? Sometimes I think so. I am a nudist at heart, but because of how repressive this culture is about nudity I don’t live a nudist’s lifestyle. Most people have such wacky ideas about body parts and what-not. I didn’t even feel comfortable breastfeeding in front of anyone but my husband, kids, [...]
The Allied Media Conference was great! I had some drama getting there, but since I missed LadyFest because of my dental drama I was determined to get to this event. Our car decided to act raggedy on Friday, we had to take it to the shop. Turns out it had a broken tailpipe and some [...]
I love to sing Karoke! I love to sing, period, even though I can’t sing very well. I’m very off-key unless I really concentrate. One of my favorite things when I’m driving is to put on a CD I like a lot and just blast it, sing along at the top of my lungs. Good [...]
Happy Father’s Day to my Father, who was and is the best dad I could have wished for. I love you, daddy! Happy Father’s Day to my Husband, who is a devoted, loyal, loving, and encouraging father. I love you, sweetie!
I always feel reborn in the summer. I feel so different! the sun shines on me and I stretch like a cat, and shake like a bird. If I had wings they would ruffle. Ohio is so pretty in the summer. It smells good where we are. This morning I sat on the balcony and [...]
Well I feel like a big dork. HOW could I have missed this? Loving Day From the site: On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples became legal thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up [...]
Writer’s Digest Magazine is looking for the writer with the best personal website, one that was created and is maintained without outside design help. Sites will be judged on presentation, ease of use, and marketing effectiveness. Send your nominations (it’s fine to nominate your own site) to writersdig@fwpubs.com with “Writer’s Site” as the subject line. [...]
You might have heard about this: Michael Green is a man who was wrongly convicted of rape and served 13 years in prison. He was exonerated by DNA evidence in 2001. He sued the city of Cleveland and won $1.6 million dollars! Yay! It’s still much less than the $10 million he asked for because [...]
I don’t care what anybody says: boys ARE different from girls. I know a lot of the differences in behavior are the result of environment. But I suspect that the bulk of the difference is innate. Boys are different than girls. Not better or worse than, just different. They act different. They smell different. I [...]
One of the things that Brian does that grates on my nerves is he likes to wake me up in the morning when he’s feeling amorous. This really, really bothers me. I have chronic insomnia. I do not sleep well. Once asleep, it’s touch and go if I stay asleep for more than 4 hours [...]
I was reading over at Hip Mama about a poster having trouble with her husband’s mother. Just after I finished writing my two cents on the subject, my friend Amy called to bitch about her mother-in-law. Then I called my friend Diane E. to see if she can come to my graduation party, and she [...]
I’ve been struggling lately with keeping my schedule for writing together. I’ve been working so long on the Mama books that I’ve neglected my other writing projects. I’ve got a lot of new stuff I’ve been mulling over in my head. For years I wrote during the night, but now that I’ve been working on [...]
I stayed up last night until 5am working on stuff. I worked on my store for this site, I printed up some zines, and I made stabs at getting my downstairs ‘office’ organized. My legs tend to fall asleep when I sit for long periods so I made sure to get up and walk around [...]
I don’t usually like mysteries because in general I find them scary, but this book by Susan Rogers Cooper is not boo! scary! at all. It is frightening in another way, for it tells the story of how identity loss can just break a person down. A small town sheriff has to solve the mystery [...]
Todd graduated from kindergarten today! He was so excited. He’s usually hard to wake up in the morning, but this morning when I woke him he got right up. He went into the bathroom and looked at the tub and said, “My tub’s not full enough” and went back to bed and pulled the covers [...]
I love this book! It has been so helpful to me. I’ve had it for a while, read it and re-read it a bunch of times. Simplify Your Life: Get Organized and Stay That Way! by Marcia Ramsland is a cool book that gives you easy-to-apply ways to get yourself organized. I have wasted so [...]
