It’s not easy to meet good men, especially for busy single moms.
I barely have time to shower, let alone go man hunting. We can’t go out three nights a week like our childless counter parts and if we do meet a man in the coffee shop, at the park or on a fluke night out we usually have to wait at least one week before we can squeeze in a date.
A single mom, so desperate for a “prince charming” (her words) is actually auctioning herself and her home off on eBay and Craigslist. The price? $500,000. Deven Trabosh, 42, has two daughters ages 14 and 21. After years of being single she’s thrown in the towel and has decided to sell herself, a bonus to buying her house in Florida.
“I’m struggling…I don’t want to lose my house and I want to find somebody. So I came up with this dream plan because I’ve always dreamt about being a fairytale princess,” she says. [click to continue…]

During a powerful Father’s Day speech Barack Obama called out dead beat dads and heralded us single moms for all of our hard work. I love this man, I truly do.
Raised by a single mother, I expect Obama will be very passionate on single parent issues if elected. On Friday he announced he would co-sponsor to increase enforcement of child support payments and strengthen domestic violence prevention service.
Here are some highlights from his speech: [click to continue…]

My Sex and the City Movie Review: Cheese, cheese and more cheese – with a few hints of the Sex and the City we knew and loved.
With the exception of a few memorable scenes, the Sex and the City Movie was a bit of a let down. I didn’t hate it, but I definitely didn’t love it. And one thing is for sure, I won’t be watching it again. Something I can’t say about every episode of the show, all of which I could watch over and over again.
It’s because each episode left me feeling uplifted about being a woman and they always had mini-dating lessons. This movie’s lesson – happiness can only be found if you’re in a relationship (unless, of course, you’re addicted to sex). Oh, and you can also find happiness by purchasing a Louis Vuitton handbag or a pair of Manola Blahniks. The brand placement in this movie was out of control.
I wish I could get into the details but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it …
To remind myself why I loved this show, I went hunting and found the Top 5 Classic Sex and the City moments. Click read more to see load the clips. [click to continue…]

Totally off topic but If you haven’t seen this story - check it out!
Until they saw this plane, these people had never had contact with the outside world.
Members of an unknown Amazon Basin tribe and their dwellings are seen during a flight over the Brazilian state of Acre along the border with Peru in this May, 2008 photo distributed by FUNAI, the government agency for the protection of indigenous peoples. Survival International estimates that there are over 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, and says that uncontacted tribes in the region are under increasing threat from illegal logging over the border in Peru. – Yahoo

If you didn’t see Dooce’s interview on the Today Show, watch it here.
You’ll hear Kathie Lee Gifford admit she doesn’t even use computers and then proceed to tell Heather B. Armstrong, “I have mixed emotions about it (her blog), I have to be honest with you – you seem like a lovely lady – but there’s something that worries me about it…the safety issue of putting your kids online.”
Heather (who looked hot!) then tries to throw it back on her…”well, you live in New York City and you walk down the street…”
Then they cut Dooce off and ended the story. So far no post from Dooce but she did say this on Twitter right after the interview:
“I am not going to twitter what I’m thinking right now. I AM SHOWING RESTRAINT, INTERNET”
Can’t wait to read her slam.
And by the way, here’s Kathie Lee Gifford’s “blog” – which we can now safely assume is a total fake. Too bad the producers didn’t prep her before the show – “Kathie Lee, don’t forget – you have your own blog.” Oops.
Long live mommy blogs and Dooce.
UPDATE – Check out Dooce’s interview on Nightline. Much, much better.
