Ye Olde Blogge

I think I like my new design, if I do say so myself. My flowers are coming in and once they do, I may include some pics of them somewhere. Thanks to Joe Calhoun for the flickr photo. Tags: design,blog,Geeky Mom Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for…

I’ve been reading Perfect Madness (almost done, real review coming!) and I just finished the chapter on husbands and then I saw Rebel Dad’s link to Leslie Morgan Steiner’s post. Steiner’s blog is really driving me crazy. But that’s another story. In Perfect Madness, Warner goes on and on about how the husbands pretty much…

Today’s my birthday. I’m 38. Most of the time I feel about 30. At SXSW, I felt ancient, for lots of reasons which I’ll go into in another post. I’ve seen lots of people out there with birthdays lately. Do you feel your age? Tags: birthday,Geeky Mom Please consider donating to my efforts in the…

I’m having a good time, for sure, but it’s interesting to be someone who’s really on the outside in a number of ways. First, I’m not “in the industry.” And second, despite the fact that there are quite a few women around, we’re still in the minority. Last night, we went to the opening party…
