Image credit: Photo by Alejandro Castro on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons It was true love, the moment I saw it. I was bathed in light and heard angels singing (no, really, that wasn't just the glow for the screen and the background music for the ad). There it was: The Beatles Rock Band, a [...]

Footloose Haiku
A school carnival: swept in a wild, laughing throng we push through gym doors. Heads bent like flowers, a giggling daisy chain, girls walk with arms linked. "Hey, it's your birthday! I'll request a song for you! Do you like Footloose?" Like popcorn we bounce, squealing as one breaks away, rushing the DJ. Twenty five [...]
The Man in the Mirror
I roll my eyes as a cluster of neon clad girls buzz, "The way the sidewalk lights up as he walks is so cool! I love that song." Michael Jackson and that stupid Billie Jean video. Cool? Whatever. He's so overrated. I mean, if you wanted to talk about enduring cool, who could really compete [...]
Taking it Easy
I am too tiredto even haiku today.Taking it easy... I've seen these photo memes going around and thought they looked fun, but they all seemed to contain too much identifying information -- until I found this one that storyteller did at Small Reflections. Tag yourself if you're looking for something easy and fun today too. [...]
Making Codependency Fun
As I was driving home from dropping baby girl off at pre-school, my trusty iPod served me up Wham's 1984 hit "Freedom." This 80's song and accompanying music video prove that Wham makes everything from codependency to communism fun. Wow! And an additional note on the artist: lead singer George Michael is much beloved by [...]

This is the first in a series of posts on how I came to discover my husband's sex addiction five years ago. To tell the story of how I came to learn that my husband is a sex addict, I have to start nearly fifteen years ago, when we first moved in together. A pebble [...]
Blessings
I'm way behind on all my award stuff and memeing, but as I've come to a convenient pausing point between what I wanted to say about codependency and intend to say about autism and about my marriage (I'm not sure which first yet). So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to acknowledge and pass on [...]
In Which Christmas and I Call a Truce
I'm sitting here in the light of the Christmas tree, sated by a day's worth of Christmas cookie snacking, having just danced to Christmas music with my Christmas-obsessed four-year-old daughter. Her excitement and enthusiasm (and maybe the sugar high) have me feeling, at least today, a little less guilty, anxiety-ridden, ambivalent and depressed about Christmas [...]
Irony
We all know that I hate to fly, and with that in mind, I wrote the following post before I flew back to my high school reunion in July. I decided not to post it before the flight, because I didn't want to jinx myself. I thought I might post it on the other end, [...]
