I’m bummed, but I got stuck doing mom stuff and was too tired to fight it, so I’m at home and not campaigning for Kerry in the city. I feel bad, but there just was suddenly too much going on all at once and I couldn’t deal. But . . . I am getting my…

If you are a single parent, I worship you. I have been on my own since last Friday and I’m dying. I suppose I’d get used to it if I had to do this all the time, but I don’t, so I’m pooped. Parenting is the one area where Mr. Geekymom actually wins points. He…

I’m bored with my template already. I’m too lazy to make my own since I do a lot of html/css at work. Can’t find any free ones I like. Maybe this weekend I’ll make something. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

This week’s Newsweek includes an article by a mom about the whole soccer mom/security mom. If you’ve read my posts here, here, and here, you know that women’s issues are rather important to me. I think Leach, author of the Newsweek article, makes a good point. She says, While political strategists play up the fear…

I am so horrified by Issue 1 in Ohio. I saw a report on it on the news tonight and then found this article in Salon. I just don’t understand why these people are so insistent upon legislating our relationships. Marriage is a religious institution first and foremost upon which we have based certain rights…

It was book club night. First, let me just say that I feel a little weird being in a book club at all, but it gets me out of the house. I really like the women in my book club. They’re fun, intelligent women, but they are definitely not geeky. They’re not Martha Stewart either,…

New York Times magazine features several articles related to food in America. The first one that caught my eye confirms my own personal theory that if you enjoy what you eat, you won’t gain weight. It also discusses the idea of Americans eating different food each generation rather than sticking to a culturally determined cuisine.…
