During my trip to New York, I was able to cross off one of my things to do… list. An awesome group of girls, myself and Mags were in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
If you’ve never been, you are missin’ out! I went once before about 7 years ago and we had so [...]

And I got through airport security with a bottle of water
New York was a blast and while I organize my thoughts, photos and just overall chill, check out the photos I took for WNYC. Thanks to my girl Annie, I have additional clips for my very bare portfolio!!!

It’s so happenin’ babe
Maggie went to her very first non-familial birthday party last month. And as I was looking through the over 200 photos I took I realized that not only was this a 4 year olds birthday party, it looked like a preschool swingers party. The weather wasn’t quite warm enough for swimming yet, so the parents [...]

Dad’s day
A proud homage to mi padre.
My father always said, “never settle for anything”
He also taught me that when someone is the “HMFIC”, they are indeed the “Head motherfucker in charge”. OR if something is old it had been know to have been when “Jesus Christ was a Lance Corporal”.
My father says [...]

Bad ass mamma jamma
I’m someone’s mother. Dude. For real.
I have days like this a lot I stop and say to myself, “dude you’re someone’s mother”.
After my last post I’ve been thinking really hard about what it is to be a mother. Not just any mother, but my daughter’s mother.
I made an appointment to discuss the [...]

How Could you be mean to this face?!

The other day as we were leaving Maggie’s “best friend” told her when she comes in on Monday, he wasn’t going to be her friend anymore. [...]

Returns
Turns out Target will take anything back. Especially the cart that your kid throws up all over in the middle of the store.
A little more surprising the employees were not grateful at all that I alerted them to the mayhem my poor poor little freckle created all over the roller blade aisle and cart. I [...]

Deep Thoughts by My Maggie (v.3)
“I don’t eat poop”
As she said this to me out of the blue this morning, I feel that I have completed my job as a parent. This small yet profound statement regarding my daughter’s desire not to eat feces, makes me believe that she is ready to move out in the world on her own.

Things I think about (v.1)
I sit for hours upon hours and think of ridiculously weird and useless things. Like really wierd. So this afternoon as I listen to The Bends, did you know iTunes released all of Radiohead’s albums and I used to have this one, but this guy I lived with took it and well you [...]

Drosophila
I’ve written many times that I am not a neat person. Neat meaning tidy, the other kind of neat; well I’m kinda the bees knees if you haven’t noticed.
Um, yeah anyway…
As a child my mother would ask me to clean my room or I couldn’t go outside and play. So I’d sit in my dirty [...]
