It was not a ring, you guys. Not an electronic gadget. Nothing warm and UGGly to put on my toes. In fact, it was a godawful Woolrich sweater. A purchase I suspect he made at the hardware store the morning before. I can't be certain, but I still suspect my boyfriend at the time thought I was actually a lumberjack. Now, over ten years later, I can't remember a single other thing that sweater-guy bought me during our years-long relationship. Because that ugly sweater? It trumps all, you guys. So why not learn from my heartache and let this serve as a warning to you this holiday season. There are certain gifts you simply do not want to give. Or, rather, there are certain gifts that us women simply do not want to receive.  Read more >

Hi everyone!I have a two-bed room at the Mariott from Wednesday through Saturday night. I have two other girls sharing the room, but they don't arrive until Friday. So, if you're coming early for the conference and still need a place to stay, maybe we can bunk up! I'd prefer someone coming Wed, but would consider Thurs as well.You can email me directly waitinthevan [at] gmail [dot] comxo!Kwww.waitinthevan.com  Read more >

I have a reservation at the Hilton for Friday night...two beds.  But I'm now thinking of staying Thursday night as well...the thing is that the conference rate isn't available for that night any longer.  And, the regular one is too pricy for me. Soooo, is anyone looking for a roomate for Thursday night?  Or, Thursday and Friday night? (I'd cancel my reservation)...Or, are you possibly in need of a room on Friday night? Either way...I'm still looking for a pal to sleep with (heh) on Thursday evening!Oye, this is complicated :)  Read more >

My former bookmark list looks nothing like what it does today.  Let's just put it that way. You see, I'm a relatively new mom.  I've got a two-year-old and a 3.5 month old.  So, yeah. New.  Before I met my husband and got pregnant, I was a member of several blogging sites (which shall not be named here!) that were of, well, questionable content.  Well I guess not all of them.  I did lots of interviews with Indie bands and wrote some humorous horoscopes, but the rest was, well, like I said: not exactly PG (or PG-13, for that matter).  Read more >
