Striking thoughts

Apocalypse Now?

October 8, 2008

Or will it be next month? Feels like it’s only a matter of time. My little sister called me from the bar she works at in Virginia. Dave Matthews pops up every once in a while, it’s a hot spot. “No one is here. It’s weird.” She says, her voice echoing amidst the empty tables [...]

A dedication…

September 25, 2008

To Morgan (Modern Single Momma) who may soon be moving to Kentucky with her Phenomenal Man in Moseley… she’ll be just three hours away from me! (And yes, I think she’s completely crazy – but what the hell? Sometimes love takes us over. And I have a good feeling about this one.) This is her [...]

Beam me up, Scottie: To Denmark Please!

August 8, 2008

Two weeks from today – I’ll be here. With this guy… And now it’s starting to set in. I haven’t let myself think about it. I try not to get excited about things. Instead, I stay cool, calm … and then just a few days before it happens – I freak out.

A bond no man can break. Sorry guys.

August 4, 2008

Last Thursday night Benjamin woke up screaming in pain. I ran upstairs. His body was lurching forward and backward, legs kicking. Finally I calmed him down and said, “Is it your tooth, baby? Does your tooth hurt?” “Yes, Mommy.” “Okay. Listen. Tomorrow morning, first thing, we’ll go to the Sticker Doctor (the dentist) and he’ll [...]

Fall at your own risk.

July 28, 2008

Just a warning to any of my current or potential suitors. I love you all, I do – but I’m not sure if you’ll get me in the end… because I am not sure about what I’m feeling, I can’t be. I have a son. I have to be very, very careful with my heart. [...]

Single moms are on fire.

July 16, 2008

Single moms are hot, hot, hot. Yep. We are trendy. It’s official. This fact was pointed out to me in my first piece of hate mail from a YouTube viewer, one of nearly 500 who have already watched Morgan and I’s “Dating & Single Moms” video. With so many views, and there will be more, [...]

Baggage check: I won’t let myself fall in love.

July 12, 2008

I left my phone charger in California. And after one day with no interruptions and no friends to run my emotions by … I realized how nice it is to be disconnected. So I didn’t buy a new one. Now it’s been five days of phone free bliss and a lot of time to reflect. [...]

Bragging rights (thanks to you!)

July 4, 2008

I am actually listed right under Dooce on Alltop’s list of the top mom bloggers. Color me speechless. Dooce, Heather B. Armstrong, is my personal hero. So it’s very surreal to see my name next to hers. If you haven’t checked out Alltop yet - get over there. Could be just a random shuffling order fluke, [...]

New friends = good times.

June 27, 2008

1. Julie and Zoe are on their way over. We’re headed to a music festival. Last Monday night we both went out (coincidentally our exes both have our kids on Monday nights). We were eating out when the Architect called me … and not her. I didn’t call him back and we spent most of [...]
