The first time I went to Detroit, Michigan, it was to attend the Allied Media Conference. That fateful June of 2007, I met some of the most amazing thinkers, writers, and activists I’d ever been witnessed. One of the things that caught my attention (and envy) was the absolutely loyalty people had to Detroit. At […]

My How They Grow
Some people may remember that three days before Nick and I got married, my side of the family had our first baby born. My first nephew, Zach, was born June 1, 2005 and every year of his life is another year of life for Nick and I, for our marriage. It’s been so funny watching […]
Patch These All Over Your Car
Sometimes feminist thoughts put me in an all too serious mood. I’m needing to go back to my roots…my side that is creative, humorous, and loves variety. My writing didn’t always used to be so long-winded. I’m going to start making bumper stickers for my blog about whatever is on my mind. Have a saying […]
Written in My Plain Gendered Language
Since my induction to the feminist blogosphere, I’ve put much time into narrowing my focus. Widespread blogging seems too general, unfocused, and leaves me with little direction. Mostly, I don’t feel I learn as much as I want when I blog across the spectrum. About a year ago, I decided to move forward in specific […]

Letter #9
Dear Veronica, Bloated, gassy, indigestion, and interrupted sleep. Is that you in there? I’ll have a better idea tomorrow. It’s almost two weeks since my little happy dance that I ovulated and your father and I are trying to keep our hopes reasonably low while I get up in the middle of the night because […]
Bike Shop Talk
I had a free and open day. Nick was off in the afternoon. You have two lovebirds, free as real birds, and a 70 some degree day in April? That’s good stuff right there. We returned to our tennis practices. Or, shall I say, Nick lightly hitting the ball to me and I return it […]
Never Admit You Saw Something When You Didn’t
Nick: Do you need the computer anymore? Me: No, I’m done. You can shut it down. Nick: I’m checking the weather, it looks like rain all week. Me: That is awesome. — wander over and point to the screen, specifically, I point to a design ad I made for the magazine I edit for which […]
