Womb Raider 2008-07-24 20:30:33 Jennifer Garner is pregnant again. Yay for her. I like her. She's cute and she staunchly adopted Juno's baby as a single mother. Not that you missed the big jaw-dropper of this cover, but if you did let me repeat... Read more:Raider
To the person who found my blog by Googling... 2008-07-24 00:15:20 Why on Earth would you have assholes for kids?

Changes 2008-08-08 17:23:54 "What are you going to order, Kym?" Frank asked as we pored over the take-out menu. "Uuummm...I think I'm going to have a pastrami on rye with extra provolone. Regular mustard, not spicy. And no tomatoes." "That's what you always...
Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match 2008-08-07 23:01:26 One of my life's greatest simple pleasures is belting out show tunes at the top of my lungs on the drive home or when I'm in the shower, but that saccharine ditty from Fiddler on the Roof is one that...
Who's house? 2008-08-06 22:16:19 Ever seen Krush Groove? No? If you haven't, You Be Illin'! It's Tricky, but he showed me how to Walk This Way in My Adidas when I was just a kid in the '80's. Now he's a reverend and he...
Happy new year 2008-08-06 15:16:24 Either as a student or as a teacher, I have spent practically my whole life centering the measurement of a year on an academic calendar. January 1st? Not such a big deal. The start of the school year, whether it... Read more:Happy

Fierce 2008-08-22 14:41:48 Confession - I have a wild desire to get all glammed up in drag by some outrageously fabulous queens and spend a night in a raucous bar singing and voguing to songs like Boogie Fever and It's Raining Men. I'd...
TP ain't for babies 2008-08-20 19:56:42 In light of my recent Bag Lady Manifesto, tonight I'm livin' la vida Cinco. Now would be a good time to look away if you're not in a space where you can read about kids without wanting to poke out...
A word to the wise... 2008-08-19 11:28:30 If your teacher catches you eating in class, don't try to lie and say that you weren't eating anything. Especially if what you are eating is a bagful of Kool-Aid mixed with sugar. Maybe you didn't notice that your fingers,...

Under construction 2008-10-01 23:24:02 Big changes are afoot in the layout of SmartOneville. I have to move some things around to make space for the new BlogHer ads. I don't think I mind the parenting-geared ads vs. the IF ads, but I'd prefer for...

Between the wish and the reality lies the waiting... 2008-10-21 15:00:05 ...and the wish and the waiting are of the heart. How is it possible for one to feel full, yet somehow unfulfilled?
