I spent the better part of an hour yesterday talking Bu into the perfect Mother’s Day gift: a morning wandering around the East End Yard Sale. (The hipper side of town, i.e. the one I do not live in, has a huge yard sale the day before Mother’s Day every year. It is teh awesome.) [...]

april, rain(n)
April 29, 2008 – 9:52 pm
it’s nearly the end of april
rain keeps calling: dig deep,
go within, and rediscover
that serpent coiled and sleeping
too soundly, a knot
at the base of my spine.
it’s got me on a kick
painting in binary code
blasting tori, screaming
all off key and laughing
(the names of our daughters
are pins in a map
to find this:
who are we now?
motherswomen)
where is my sex, [...]
yoni!

One more burst of sexual energy for the Sexography GBBMCMMCGVBVC… whatever campaign :p I spent some of my birthday money on a frame for the new piece, and after the printing costs I’m going to donate what’s left to RAINN. It’s not a lot but it adds up. Throw in a few bucks with me? [...]
my toy is a top, pun in 10 did
April 15, 2008 – 12:25 am
The sexiness is just growing over the cute little mommy blog like rampant ivy or kudzu now. It’s unsettling me- who reads this that I don’t know reads this? But on the tails of that thought: is it really surprising or shocking to read that an adult woman has had sex and masturbates? (And then, [...]

(mom)
I’m feeling you so vividly right now. The spring is our time, the two of us wild and stoned in the forest clearing. Aries and laughing and twin skirts blowing in the breeze, twin souls like Demeter and Persephone- firmly, solidly mother/daughter too. The sisterhood never took precedence over your wings holding me and your [...]
on being mentally exhausted and also, a mother. and a wannabe bitch.
March 8, 2008 – 4:10 pm
OMG does this make me a post-post-feminist?
I grabbed Bitch off my shelf of books I have had forfreakingever but haven’t read. I’m like 3 pages into the introduction and I’m seriously annoyed that every single example Elizsabeth Wurtzel has given of bad-girl-ness involves women engaged in sexy badness, being the bad girl of men’s wet [...]

(it’s from PostSecret)
I worry about the appropriateness of being pretty sure I love Molly more than Bu. Some days I think Well, duh… biology and some days I think That’s awful and that I am not trying hard enough to stay in in-love with Bu.
Then sometimes I just fall into the groove of the three [...]
valentine’s day card 2008
February 14, 2008 – 3:57 pm
Bu’s Valentine’s Day card. I’m feeling really self-satisfied right now and am enamoured with my own cleverness.
Edit: I hope Bu isn’t freaked out I have never gone humorous with the Val Day card- I usually go the metaphysical Rumi-quoting route. I had a great one a few years ago with a human heart and [...]
black humor & killing the perfect
December 27, 2007 – 10:45 am
We delivered the babe to the grandies so I could sleep. Usually one great night recharges me and I’m OK. (This is, in fact, the case this a.m.) We started to attempt to dig our home out from the chaos, and I was just spinning. Anxiety attack over nothing/everything. Bu was coaching me through it [...]
i’m officially the village looney chick…

Bu presents as evidence the fact that I stole my neighbor’s trash to put it in our recycling pile. But, dood: why would you put pizza boxes just loose out with the garbage? It would be like 10 seconds extra to throw them in the bag the city provides and they pick it up for [...]
