My husband, while not nearly as good at Words With Friends or Bejeweled Blitz as I am, is almost always emotionally wiser than I am.
This morning over coffee and Marlboros, he dropped this little bit of wisdom on me:
“It drives me crazy when I hear people say ‘this is just like high school’.  Um, no, [...]

Yesterday I spewed 1500 words about BlogHer – and got through Wednesday.
The conference didn’t even start, officially, until Friday.
There is just so damn much.
I was in Chicago for five days and every single one of those days was filled with highs and lows and laughter and nervousness and – because it’s me – embarrassing shit [...]

First let me say that any and all BlogHer recaps here will be woefully short on the pretty pictures, because one of the very first things I did in Chicago was drop and break my point and shoot camera.
Y’all are stuck with having to read real and actual words.  Sorry.
SO – Wednesday morning I woke [...]

Dear People Who Already Have BlogHer Recaps and Photos Posted,
Are you high?
Clearly, you are on the good drugs.
Why, when we were meeting and exchanging business cards and trying not to look like perverts while covertly reading one another’s name tags, did you not slip me whatever the fuck it is that you are quite obviously [...]

In two days I leave for BlogHer.
I swear, I can actually hear most of you groaning.
Sure, there are a handful of you who read this blog who will also be attending BlogHer.  And maybe you are just as excited and nervous as I am.  I’m certain you are.
But the rest of you, the bulk of [...]

I have a feeling that my life is about to get crazy.
Tomorrow I’m heading to Tampa to say goodbye to Anissa, after spending the afternoon at Faiqa’s baby shower.

Next weekend I’m headed to Lexington, Kentucky with Hilly and Adam for ConFab.  I’m looking forward to rooming with Hilly and Becky and having lots [...]

Let me tell you now that some of you will hate this post. I’m not entirely comfortable with that right now, but I’m going write it anyway because… well, it’s what I do.
I’m using that disclaimer, in part, to avoid starting.
I’m never sure where to begin when I’m unraveling my fears.
The short version of [...]

I do not run with the BlogHer crowd.
Most of you know this because you are my crowd and not of BlogHer. My Crowd attends gatherings with names like TequilaCon and post videos of ourselves doing body shots off one another’s labia.
We? Are the fucking party animals of the Internet, people.
And BlogHer? Well, [...]

My dear, sweet, wonderful, brilliant readers…
Have I told you how pretty you look today? And that your ass looks amazing in those pants? No? Well you do. And it does.
Oh, and, by the way, I have a favor to ask of you.
AND IT REQUIRES NO MONEY! [...]

I first heard about the BlogHer “Letter To My Body” Initiative over at Joy Unexpected. I’m following suit because I think it’s a brilliant cause, and one more women should embrace. It’s something my mother would be proud of.
Dear Body,
You have had to live with a lot of expectations. From me, from [...]
