Right after I posted Hope, I found out that the California Supreme Court upheld the state’s gay-marriage ban. Just when I was feeling hopeful. Ugh. One step forward, two steps back. I believe in justice for all, not justice for some of us. No more second-class citizens! It was not until 1948 that the California […]
Hope
Choosing to bring a child into this world was a terrifying prospect for me. When I found out that child would be female, I started crying. Why? Because I know how hard it is to be a female and a minority. If my child was born male, he would still be a minority, but he […]
This is Dedicated…
I would like to dedicate this post to a friend who is having a very difficult pregnancy. She has experienced challenges every step of the way. Pregnancy is idealized; nobody really wants to hear that it is anything less than wonderful. If your pregnancy is fraught with hardships, it’s easy to feel robbed. Not only […]
You Think Your Employee Sucks, My Boss Sucks Harder
Working from home should be awesome, right? Well, it would be if it wasn’t for one thing: since I am an independent contractor, I can never get away from my boss-ME. This month (which happens to be my birthday month) has been really difficult. There has been illness and family visits. When I work outside […]
My Employee Sucks!
I’ve mentioned that one of my many jobs consists of working from home. When I work from home, I guess you could say that I’m my own boss. It would be great except for: MY EMPLOYEE SUCKS! I don’t ask for much as a boss. All I need is for my employee to put in […]

Birthday Ramblings
It’s my birthday! Indulge me. After days of being sick, I woke up feeling a little better and happy to be next to my husband. At 5 Put Pie woke up. Normally, Daddy would feed her and put her back to sleep, but I missed holding her so much that I asked for him to […]
JJ Formals
Have you seen the Saturday Night Live video for JJ Casuals? It’s hilarious. Andy Samberg plays the part of mellow pop-folk singer Jack Johnson. Jack likes to keep it “super casual” so he goes barefoot most of the time, but there are some places where you can’t go barefoot so he came up with JJ […]

The Demise Continues
I mentioned earlier (Female Hysteria ) that I am falling apart. Well, the demise continues. It started with a crazy swollen middle finger. Then an eye infection that is lingering. Now, I have some horrid cold. I am convinced that it is my body rebelling and forcing me to take some much needed time for […]
