When I was young I actually had a problem gaining weight. I know huh, what a problem to have right? I cried over it. I tried everything I could to gain weight to no avail. I was teased for being so thin. I was told by a lot of “well-meaning” people that I must be… Continue Reading

On How to Wiggle Your Ears
I don’t know how some mothers do it, juggling family and work and household and wifely duties. I think some of us just have it and some don’t. Like that kid when you were young, the one that could wiggle his ears. You ask him how he does it and he’s like, “I don’t know… Continue Reading
Summer, My Way
Summer finally arrived, officially. Though it almost didn’t. At least not in the way I like it to, and of course that’s the all important element, right, that Mother Nature ushers in the seasons to my liking? Anyway, last year I let my kids walk part of the way home from school. It was our… Continue Reading
Zoinks! Scoob It’s My Doppelganger!
It’s said we all have a doppelganger. Doppelganger is German for double walker–a shadow self which is thought to accompany every person. Most of the time we think of it as a celebrity lookalike.

There is a special kind of look couples with one child have and they are quick to give it to you. With childless couples… Continue Reading
Being Good Looking is Bad So Settle For So So
As I was cleaning my desk I found this old press release, which proves that sometimes you can be just too darned good looking for your own good. Apparently, scientists have discovered in fruit flies that it’s a bad thing to be too good looking. Unlike in humans where if you are too good looking,… Continue Reading

Awesome right? Italian designer Mirko Ginepro just revealed this thing at some show in Milan. It’s made of Corian… Continue Reading
Godzilla’s Got Nothing On a Giant Chicken
Yesterday I did a dastardly thing. After giving up meat, I ate two small bite-sized pieces of tri-tip. I know. Now, I’m going to stop short of saying I’m a vegetarian, because, surprisingly people around me are uncomfortable with that or will scrutinize everything I eat. “Are you supposed to be drinking milk? I thought… Continue Reading
A Choad By Any Other Name Means We’re in 2010
When you have children it’s normal to set up playdates. However, those playdates often mean that there is an understood playdate between parents. Parents who may or may not have anything in common except for the love of beer, which both sets of parents pretend not to have because they aren’t aware that the other… Continue Reading
