Where’s Mummy?

Where's Mummy?

Not home, that is for sure. I am sure if you swing into the Yorktown area of Virginia later today you will find me in a pool with my kids enjoying this first week of summer. Earlier this week I was up in Dearborn, Michigan again with Ford. I know! I was beyond excited too! [...]

Where’s Mummy?

On her third cup of coffee and still finding herself standing in her kitchen holding a fork, dish towel and piece of pineapple in her hand. Am I eating the pineapple with the fork or am I wiping it with the dish towel? I don’t know. I’m too tired today to remember. Thanks Cinco de [...]

Just Book It

“When are you going to write a book? Quite honestly, I think you should. You have such a beautiful gift.” I’ve been told I should write a book for a while. Even Role Mommy said so! I have to say that I am indeed working on it. It’s just incredibly hard when you only have [...]

On The Nightstand

I’ve been inspired this week by the summer reading bug, Newsweek and the blog, Everyday I Write the Book. I’m an avid reader, typically reading about 3 books and 2 magazines at a time. I read standing up while cooking dinner, I read in the car while waiting even if it’s for a mere moment. [...]

Jennifer Weiner’s New BFF

Jennifer Weiner's New BFF

Recently, I had the opportunity to interview best-selling novelist Jennifer Weiner about her new book, Best Friends Forever (debuting July 14, 2009). To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. I have enjoyed reading Weiner’s book since the very beginning. I can still remember a cross-country flight that was fun and relaxing because I [...]

The Comedian

The Comedian

So, what is up with you acting like a five day old Wolverine baby? All gnashing gums and razor fingers ripping at my decolletage. You find it all highly and sickly amusing. Are you illin’ or just up to your usual tricks? Internets, I would like to introduce you to The Comedian. Formerly known as [...]

Book Day! Entry 3

Once again, saved by the book. After a sleepless night convincing me that there is indeed no rest for the wicked (another post entirely) and the wicked not being me but our dog, I am grateful to be have the book. You’ll notice this part goes back a few years in Casey’s life and this [...]

Oh! You Didn’t Know I Had a Maid, Did You?

Yes, it’s true. I have a maid. How else would I get everything done? She’s quite efficient too. When I finish my shower, there she is at the ready, holding my towel for me. She would not have it any other way. She’s my lady in waiting though I have no rank. She hands me [...]

I’m sorry, I cheated.

Dear Hairdresser, Would you prefer to be called stylist? I’m just not sure anymore. My confidence in you has gone. We had such a beautiful relationship. It was good while it lasted and then things just went horribly wrong. I’m not sure what happened still but your inability to listen forced me into the arms [...]

The Slowest Death

The Slowest Death

Folks, allow me to direct your attention to Exhibit A. Now don’t be alarmed! They are indeed ugly I know. Hideous, just hideous. They are however only a pair of shorts. Men’s shorts. Men’s shorts, circa 1991, that at one time were impossibly big on the owner. Notice the heinously inappropriate and blatantly out of [...]
