Suckered at The Gap
Totally got suckered at The Gap on Monday. I never should’ve set foot in there. That stupid sign out front that said 40% off should not have made me blink, but it held preternatural power over me and I floated in and tried on a pair of jeans in my normal size. They were too […]

Aunty Lehua’s Book has Docked in Hawaii
Pretty excited for my friend Lehua Parker. Her book One Boy No Water launches today, and right now, as my fingers tap these keys, she’s off signing books at the Barnes and Noble in Layton, Utah. It’s probably really pretty and autumnal there, with colorful leaves, and people are probably wearing sweaters and cool boots […]
Stop (Book) Clubbing Baby Seals
I love those meme posters that prove that grammar can save the world. One features a pic of a baby seal on a disco floor, with the caption, “Stop clubbing, baby seals.” How commas change everything. So, yeah. I had the very cool expierence last night of attending a book club where the featured read […]
Super Duper Duper Cool!
I went to a booksigning this morning and this author guy said, “Have you seen that sumo video? The one where the little white guy can cream all the huge, enormous sumo wrestlers? Time after time, he just smears them. You have to look it up!” Well, bet your bottom dollar, I came right home […]
Larry, Daryl and Daryl
Do you remember the Bob Newhart Show? I don’t mean the one where he’s a psychologist in Chicago in the 1970s, but the one where he runs an inn in Vermont in the 1980s. He has those neighbors, “I’m Larry. This is my brother Daryl, and this is my other brother Daryl.” My dad loved […]
Super Blogger Moi
So, even if I don’t add a lot of content to this site this month, I’ve been adding a certain amount of text gravitas to the World Wide Web in general. Need evidence? Check out this list of blogs I’ve been scribbling all over lately. (Many thanks to my publicist Kirk for facilitating the blog […]
My Super Secret Superhero Mission du jour
I have spent the last several days just clearing out the toy room. After five kids and about 15 years, there are a LOT of toys. The girls went to my neighbor’s yard sale the other morning and brought home more treasures, and I thought, “That’s it! It has to stop somewhere.” Not that the […]
Everyday Annoyingness
I just got my JCPenney mailer yesterday. It’s the new flashy, colorful one from the revamped JCPenny taken over by the former Apple executive. Cute stuff, but the models are all a LOT taller than I am so I have no sense of how any of that stuff would look on me. Oh, and it […]
