Exciting News! BlogHer selected one of my posts (a secret post published anonymously long ago, which recently re-appeared as a credited guest post on Toy With Me). So…do you get where I’m going with this? I’m VERY honored to be a BlogHer Voice of the Year. I’m even MORE honored because THIS POST was given the commendation last year, so… Read more →
Category: stuff you might not care about but I do
Sorry, But I’m Falling Victim to the Requisite “Surviving the BlogHer Panic” Post.
Picture by Mandy I think it was around this time last year that I was sitting in my therapists’ office coming up with all the reasons that I should UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES follow through with my plans to go to the BlogHer Conference, as a veritable blogging newbie…and all the way in New York, with Dee in tow to boot.… Read more →
California Uberales… California Underwater
So, a tax bill was signed into law today by Cali’s new Governator (does that title still work? we’ve still got a jack ass…) Jerry Brown, who is on his second round after being Governor in the late 70’s early 80’s and a brief run for a presidential bid in 1992 (and apparently a few others before I became… Read more →
Summer Travels When You CAN’T Just Pick Up and Go.
It‘s kind of like a trunki for grownups. I mean, even though I have a full set of luggage that Scott and I share for the wedding, there’s something about this case that SCREAMS Business Traveler. Either that or “I implement my odd sense of humor into even my travel gear.” {more accurate.} At any rate, I totally freakin’ want… Read more →
This would be more urgent if I were famous.
My Sister-In-Law Maegan is a very smart girl. She taught me that if you want something really fancy for your birthday, you tell everyone close that you want gift cards to the same place (say, Bloomies) and voila! Budget for that new Marc Jacobs bag! Well, guess what? It TOTALLY works. (Especially when Maegan and her Mama – aka MeMa… Read more →
Does Elvis Talk to You?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a really good movie. And I’m not talking about that silly TV spin-off that came a few years later with Booth from Bones and the chick with two first names. {Oh, yeah I TOTALLY went there.} Anyway. GOING MENTAL. I remember the first time I heard the Buffster say it to rufus in my fave… Read more →
Can I ask you a question?
As a “publisher”, I don’t want to be a pain in your asses by pushing content out over every possible channel all day long, in an effort to be heard above the blogging din. But I also don’t want you to forget about me because I’m not tweeting/facebooking/otherwise pinging you with my links multiple times a day. I asked on… Read more →
Where Social Media meets Social Anxiety.
{above: Jenna & Jen deface an Ace of Cakes masterpiece while Ryan snaps this pic.} So a couple of weeks ago now I packed up my baby, my yellow heels, and enough xanax to sedate a small elephant, and I did the previously unthinkable. I went to BlogHer. {I know, I know…I’m obviously a huge dork, so let’s just go… Read more →
Momversation
My Mom is…a little bit internet challenged. Like, she called me once and asked me how to “do” Amazon.com. No, seriously. I’m not trying to be funny. That happened. To be clear, I’m not mocking my Mom. I mean, I am, but I also totally admire her in lots of ways. She’s my creative soul sister, she… Read more →
Home Sweet 818
We’ve been away, but now we’re back. Five days. NYC. Me & Dee (and Lindsey, and kind of mostly Lindsey and Dee, but still.) 11 hours in the air. 102 stops on the F train. It was crazy. But it was awesome. #BlogHer10 (Whoops. I’m just so used to doing that. Sorry if I polluted your twitter stream. I… Read more →
