Here in the beautiful Twin Cities, we’re waiting to find out how the RNC will shake down under the impending threat od Gustav. The contrast between the people attending the two conventions. The DNC goers were rainbow hued and crunchy around the edges. The older Dems were unrepentant hippies; the young came from every fringe […]
Single Moms Rock is trying to convince us that the secret to getting along with your ex is to ‘respect him’. I hear you, I really do… but didn’t so many single moms because end up that way because the men they chose to marry didn’t deserve respect? And if that’s true, then what does […]
I saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona recently, and it sparked a conversation in my brain that has been loud, chaotic, passionate and basically out of control. I suppose it was a good movie.
It got me thinking on the nature of love. I know, what a great thing for a single mother with a full-time job […]
As soon as I stop carpet-bagging around the National Conventions, I’m going to curl up in bed with a good book or three.
Cookbooks.
One of the most difficult things to do with little time and less money is prepare healthy, home-cooked meals for your family. Modern conveniences have made pressure cooking and Crockpots a must-have in […]

I wish I were staying for the entire DNC. As it is, I’m not even going to get close to the convention center. My organization is hosting an event downtown tonight, and I’m herding cats. I’ve begged all my coworkers to grab some Obama swag for my son and his best friend, and that’s about […]
I’ve never been to Denver before. It might be a mile high, but it’s also miles and miles wide… There are no edges to look over. The local volunteers who have been pulling everything together for my job’s event at the DNC are amazing. One of them is also a solomother: her son is 16. […]
Tomorrow morning, earlier than I care to consider, I fly to Denver to work anm event at the DNC. I don’t even know if I will set foot in the Convention Center… Right now, I’m more worried about flying. I haven’t been on a planesince my husband and I broke up almost two years ago. […]
Besides your fabulous suggestions on how to get organized, I love these:
Mimi the Sardine lunch bags…
The Ah Ring
Fannfare’s courage in the face of her own shizznits.
Elizabeth Bear
The King of Everything, who just survived his first sleepover. Here. He and his best friend are sacked out, in quite the civilized way. Tomorrow, his grandfather is cooking […]
Just saw Woody Allen’s new flick
Vicky
Christina
Barcelona
I don’t like Woody Allen flicks. I loved this one. It’s rendered me speechless with too many things to say. I’d recommend seeing it, single mothers, and then sit and ponder the kinds of love you have in your life, the kinds of love you’ve pined for, what you’ve had […]
