During the eighteen months before my mother's death, I remained at her side. We had a complicated relationship—true of so many mothers and daughters—and she didn't appreciate my daily reminders regarding her medications, her need to walk, the importance of eating. Mom was a visual artist, ardent reader, and political junkie; she didn't go in for idle chatter. As for sharing thoughts or feelings about her illness? Forget it.    Read more >

Octomom Nadya Suleman is back in the news, having declared bankruptcy even after posing nude in order to make money. This was no shocker to me: My daughter's stuffed animals got the skinny two years ago. Here's my pictoral coverage of the 2009 interview between the Octopony Mom and Dr. Phooh, in which they discuss things like income and housing for fourteen children.  Read more >

No, I am not barreling at the speed of light toward a midlife crisis, I'd like to squash that idea right now.Yes, I realize that at 40-something many people are removing their tattoos not getting them.No, I am not desperately clinging to my youth by pretending to be edgy and cool - I'm ALREADY edgy and cool, just ask my kids and then ignore their snorts and eye-rolling. Yes, I may possibly be out of my mind, but the crazy is what keeps y'all coming back for more so I'm  unleashing a whirling dervish of it here in today's post. You're welcome.  Read more >

I love my cat. And I loved the cat before her, and the cat before HER, and the seventeen cats before her. (I grew up near a farm. They came in packs of three back then.) And I admit, I've been known to spend enough money on my cats to make my mother's mouth fall open. (My cat Sybil needed daily thyroid pills for years.) April 11 is National Pet Day, so I thought we really needed to discuss caring for our furbabies: the good, the bad, and the ridiculously expensive.  Read more >

Every good dog has his day, and Seamus Romney is finally feeling his alpha male oats.  Seamus, the long-deceased Irish Setter who belonged to presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, became famous for one of the Romney family's annual summer road trips which took place more than 25 years ago.  The 12-hour journey was from Massachusetts to Canada.  Evidently, with five strapping sons and all that luggage, there was little room to spare in the Romney station wagon.  Read more >

Life Tattoo

During the day, I play a tattoo artist on TV. Okay, I really am a tattoo artist (not to be confused with my night job of a ninja assassin), and I love my job. There are certain things about my job that seriously make me want to head home and crawl back into bed, though. And, it's not just me; I've talked to the guys at the shop- they have the same pet peeves.So, I'm going to help y'all out and give you the hook up from an insider source... me.  Read more >

Comfort Zone

Thanks to Daylight Saving Time, I woke up at what I thought was a 'normal' time this morning. My girls and I were up at around 7:45-8ish and I thought, 'Yeah! This time, DST change did not win!'  WRONG!  From the moment I got up, I should've been prepared to take off running, because my entire day was on fast-forward from there....So, this week I'm focusing on getting out of my 'comfort zone'.  I am SUCH a creature of habit, I like things 'just so', and I'm totally all about doing the same things over and over again because 'it works'.    Read more >
