Holloa boys, holloa boys, let [...]

So, on Sunday night I had the weirdest dream. It was so unnerving that it has stuck with me for the past two days and I even solicited the help of friends to try and interpret what it could mean. Part of me was joking in asking. Part of me wasn’t.

And we’re back.

22Sep09

So, I said I would be back on Sunday, however we had some snafus with our internet service.
I’m back online now.
The cheesy post about how much I love my new place, my new neighborhood and about how much I’ve changed in the last year is forthcoming. First, I need to get back to regularly scheduled [...]

The blessing of the assertive mother

31Aug09

I stumbled upon this today on Time Magazine’s website via Jezebel. It’s a Q&A with Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls.
