Yeah, me neither. Turns out some stranger on the Huffington Post FB page thinks I am. I’m also supposedly a bad selfie-taker and because I do not like to impulse buy lipstick and shoes (okay the second one is kind of a lie…), I am “lame”. People also inferred that I like to sit around…
It’s My Party and I’ll Skate If I Want To…
A few months ago I was at dinner with some girlfriends and I asked them to start brainstorming with me about what I could do for my 40th birthday. I wanted to have a fun party that would take me back to my youth and make us all feel a just a tad younger for a…
“Friendsgiving” with Netflix
This month Netflix is exploring friendships and highlighting some of the great shows that celebrate friends. One show that I have been watching this month and yes, I am kind of behind the curve on this one, is Orange is The New Black (a Netflix exclusive series). One place you definitely need to have…
Get The Behavior You Want… {The Three R’s of Parenting}
You know what is really good? To have a doctor friend in your back pocket. Or even your front pocket works, just make sure she doesn’t fall out. 😉 I have a friend who is a doctor and not only is she a really good one, but she is also a parenting pro! Many times…
Tid Bits
Do ever get that kind of “naggy” feeling? Like you have all these “little” things swirling around in your head and you’re not just quite sure where to start? This happens to me sometimes. This is part of the reason I have a few “to-do” lists on my desk. And a paper calendar, along with…
Rare Bird, A Book Review
I started reading Anna’s blog, An Inch of Gray, after her twelve-year old son Jack was lost in a freak flash flood. I was directed there by another blogger, I cannot remember who. It could have been from a tweet or a mention on their blog, the details are sketchy. I do however, remember the pain I…
You DON’T Have a Blog??
I was in church the other day and I was supposed to be listening to the priest. And I was, for the most part. But my mind drifted for minute or two, as it tends to do sometimes, and I noticed a woman and her family – her husband and their three sons – in the front…
No Difference
This is one of my oldest son’s best friends. Sorry for the quality of the photo but they were forced by their mother’s (one of them being me) to get out of the pool and take a picture together since this was J’s going away party. And it was almost dark. That’s right,…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
Blogging Lives On…
I have been reading blogs for almost as long as I have been writing one. I started writing here (or, at alguires.blogpost.com) in November of 2006. Then a year later I found OTHER blogs through a friend of a friend. Mind. Blown. (I was so cute back then, figured only 10 other people were blogging…
