We Went to Target
And I made you a little photo essay. You see I love Target. With all of my heart.
First stop: Lingerie department.
Look at these! Target has cute panties.
And they have really great nursing bras. (Crissy, that was for you. My maternity camisole got me through so many nights wherein Arch would nearly suffocate because he was [...]
Do Your Part
Okay, all of you know someone who could be a better blogger. And who’s in Portland. And has $45 to spend on a class on being a better blogger/writer. Or just wants to learn about narrative.
So go. Tell them about my class. GO NOW.
I do have a blog post. But I can’t remember what it [...]
And Then I was Like I Want to Move to Portland!
Here’s the view from this morning.
Will it ever end?
And before any of you people in other parts of the world start talking about snow and feet and it’s way colder on the East Coast than it is there, just remember this one thing: I do not live on the East Coast. I once went to [...]
Does My Hair Smell Like Vomit?
I’m suffering from the Black Death, Internet.
I blame children.
Archie’s been taking all these classes and I’m around all these little germ monkeys and I’m pretty sure one of them passed me his toxins. So I’ve been crying. A lot. Which doesn’t help the sinus situation. And I’m still sick. It’s been four score and seven [...]
Prize Winner of Portland, Oregon
I ripped that title off from a book called the Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio. This was a book that when I worked at a bookstore, I claimed to have read. Because it was popular with the customers. And so I’d say, “Oh! I loved it!” I’d say this about A Girl Named Zippy and [...]
Back Fence PDX Day!
Okay, seriously everyone we have all seven storytellers booked. The designs are done by Sadie Medley. Intern Nathalie is sending out the media. We are so on top of February’s event! I can’t wait for it. The lineup is stellar. And I couldn’t be prouder of Back Fence and the work Frayn, Nathalie and I [...]
I Had a Post All Prepared
Well, sort of prepared, but I just…well…I’ve been spending 13 hours at a time alone with a three year old and I just can’t think right in my brain area.
So you need to watch this.

And then I’d like you to give The Girl Effect some money, please.
I’ll be in the padded room rocking gently and [...]
Houston, We Have a Problem
I’m going to post this on the weekend, because I don’t want anyone feeling cheated by a knitting post while surfing blogs during work hours.
Here’s the February Lady’s Sweater thus far:
It’s still in process, I need to keep knitting the bottom, and the sleeves. And if I had any sort of editing skilz, I’d draw [...]
West Coast Represent!
Jesus, Internet. Crissy just killed today. Killed.
And I can think of nothing funny to write. NOTHING.
I will leave you with these thoughts, I was walking once and trying to impress a guy with how sexxxy I am and funny and lovely and smart, and I tripped over a fire hydrant. Totally tripped. Hit the thing [...]
Back Fence PDX Day!
Hey hey! It’s Back Fence PDX Day. Today’s story about The Moment After is a worst nightmare, and a dream come true all at once. It’s harrowing and so sweet and filled with an odd confusion that I think we all feel when things suddenly go very, very right after being very wrong.
It’s by Ceci [...]
