I guess by now you’ve heard about the trapped miners. I can’t remember where they’re trapped…China, maybe? Anyway, the location doesn’t really matter. What matters is what I heard on the news. That they could be trapped in the mine hole thingy for FOUR MONTHS. I was watching the latest footage on CNN when my [...]

It seems like things have been quiet around here for the last few months. And that’s because they have. There have been changes. BIG changes. And none of them I ever expected. Or wanted. But sometimes life fails to check in and ask, “This OK with you?” So I did what most people do and [...]

It’s no secret that I see a therapist. In fact, I think most of us would benefit greatly from therapy. But the weird thing is that the people I feel need it most think they don’t *need* therapy. I’m telling you, you need therapy. Trust me. Anyway, I was recently in the therapist’s office for [...]

My phone rang the other day and it was my grandmother, Mimi. You all remember her, right? The one who imagines snakes that aren’t there, hates Whoopi Goldberg (but not because she’s Black), and can’t hear for shit. Anyway, so about the hearing thing. It’s getting out of hand.

Add Arizona to the list of states that hate me

The following is a true story. If I’m lying then I will send you one of my kids, preferably one of the teenagers because they’re harder. And meaner. And more expensive. And think they know everything. But technically they’re all up for grabs. Except the boy. I get to keep him. He’s the only one [...]

Relative Insanity

August 18, 2010

My second book, Relative Insanity, was released yesterday. And as you can imagine I’m super excited. Seeing the finished product makes me very happy. People are emailing asking what the book is about. Seriously, it’s been so long since I’ve read it that I hardly remember. But if memory serves it’s about a wife/mom named [...]
