Good Mama: Pondering Motherhoodnew
Four weeks ago I shot my own little "chick-let" out of my vagina and unceremoniously became someone’s parent. Although I've had almost a month to get used to the idea, I still sit around my house and scream, "Holy Crap! I have a kid!" at least once a day.

The Christmas Miraclenew
I've always loved the holidays. I like the fall smells in the air, eggnog lattes and almost any dessert spiced with cinnamon. I especially adore the whiskey drinks and how no one seems to mind if you get publicly drunk between the last week in November and Jan. 1.

Truth or Darenew
After living a lie for so long, I'm finally doing what a lot of other Americans my age are doing: I'm living in sin with my boyfriend; I'm watching CNN; I'm reading websites; I'm writing on my blog. I'm working at my job; and I'm finally registering to vote.

Queen of the Fleasnew
The past three weeks of my life have been one long personal jihad against the fleas currently residing in my house. I call it a "jihad" because the fleas have progressed to the point where they are affecting my mental health: It's me or them.
