We won’t starve this winter
We did a little bit of canning this weekend. That’s salsa with stuff from the garden, blackberry jam (from last weekend) peaches, peach jam and more peaches. I bought a lot of peaches. Last year Recovering Straight Girl and I went peach picking and she taught me how to can. I love her for that.

I am Slowly Killing Myself!!!
Arch and I went to the posh arty preschool getting to know you picnic last night. I wish I had a story for you, but people were pleasant and fine. There were a few conversations I had to endure with parents describing all the languages their little girl speaks, but beyond that, everyone was nice. [...]

I Don’t Know How to Do Stuff
So, you all know I don’t know how to garden. I also don’t know how to make mashed potatoes, and my rice always turns out so very wrong. I can’t drive stick to save my life, in fact one of my former friends was a used car dealer and he said I was the only [...]
Preschool!
Archie is starting preschool next month. I’m pretty excited, except for the part where I don’t do well in situations with other parents and their children. Feel free to blame this on my own self-important, self-centeredness. I mean, when I’m in a group, I need it to be about ME and not anyone else. So [...]

If you don’t know what The Daily Beast is, it’s a blog run by Tina Brown who was the editor for The New Yorker and Vanity [...]
Me and Michael Phelps
Last year I rode my bike year-round. And, granted, I still managed to put on about ten pounds over winter, I’ve lost it all and I’m down to my summer weight. I credit all the puking I did last month.
I love riding my bike. Love it. But the problem with riding year-round is that it [...]
Back Fence is Tearing it Up in September
So one of our dreams with Back Fence is to produce other events. We’ll still do our big Mission shows, but we want to stretch our wings a bit. One of our goals when we started out more than a year ago was to have an event that’s accessible to everyone. We didn’t want it [...]
I’m an Art Collector
So at the start of my new life, I painted the walls and had the floors finished and if that wasn’t indulgent enough, I bought a painting. I could afford none of this. My bills are now doubled but I have an unwavering feeling that the money will follow. I’m working hard and pursuing my [...]
