Erotic Fiction: 50 Shades of Grey and You?

Oh, The Places I Have Puked (with Apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Recently, I was on a week-long boat trip. And in addition to being a little seasick, I caught a lovely stomach bug (along with my entire family and half of the ship). Now there’s a pleasant experience. Stomach flu layered on top of motion sickness. Like a beautiful layer cake made out of nausea and flu. Except, of course, that… Continue reading

Warning! What Your Fingernails Could Say About Your Health
The next morning, my husband and I rewound the tape to view the footage. Oh my. We wince more than a little as we watch a bunch of adults acting crazy and playing drinking games like we are in college. Part of it is filmed upside down. What do we look like? Stiffler’s mom? Not exactly. The creepy dad that wanted to play speed quarters with his kids’ friends? Maybe, except that… Continue reading

Why My Mom Is Awesome
Something about hearing my mom’s voice come through my child really struck a chord with me. It was a bonus that the quote was nice and appropriate (which isn’t always the case). She’s the one who has kept a copy of a business card for every job that I’ve had, the one who still worries if I’m getting enough sleep, the one who…Continue reading
