Okay I admit it this past week I turned thirty-freakin’two. Why do I put it that way? B/c my birthday sucked. Better yet, it sucked in spirts throughout the day. It sucked to the point I went to bed at 8:30 pm because quite frankly I just didn’t want to deal [...]

Moody
I’ve been in a horrible mood for the past week. Nothing particular just melancholy, mixed with a splash of feeling lost. I’ve been so busy with work, that I haven’t had time to sit and actually care for myself. I get this way not too often, but when I do it’s like [...]

Nighttime ritual
Originally uploaded by mehannon
Every night it’s the same thing with Maggie. Once she realizes it’s bedtime, the stalling, and goofing around begin. First she informs me “three more minutes”. Since I was pregnant I read all the books that instruct you to prevent melt downs, give the child a [...]

This is an honest and true conversation I had with my daughter over dinner.

I feel it all…
Okay it’s only Tuesday, but so far this week has been filled with magic. Last month I answered a call for women artists who wish to participate in a show that is built to raise awareness around women and HIV/AIDS. It was my thing “that scared the shit out of me to push [...]

How I did it
My previous post, I excitedly announced that I am completely free of credit card debt. Unfortunately I still have a car payment and a student loan, but their interest rates are so freakishly low that I don’t mind the monthly payment. I received many comments about others who have been or are in the same [...]

I’m no longer your bitch!
Dear Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express (please excuse me Dinners Club & various department store cards, you never really matched my needs),
As of today I’m no longer you life-long interest paying bitch. You see I have finally paid you all off. It has taken me three long years, a child and some serious [...]

How to entertain a three-year old on a 4 hour layover
Over the holiday, I was screwed redirected by my airline and given a 4 hour layover on Christmas Eve. The thought of entertaining my three year old while carrying a shit-ton of stuff for our 4 1/2 hour flight, brought tears to my eyes and severe burning sensation in my heart. I bucked up, put [...]

Taking letting go to a whole new level… the wrong one
2007 was a great year, but there were certain things about my 2007 self that I didn’t want to carry over into 2008. The strange part of it is, I’m not quite sure what I wanted to let go. Something feels amiss right now and I’m doing some super duper soul searching to figure out [...]
