Blogging, Boundaries and Money: Oh My!

07.31.08

Recently one of the Moms was offered a paid blogging gig and asked the group how much money they make blogging for pay. You could almost hear the hush in the virtual room.

Ribs Jewish Momma Style

07.30.08

I’m making ribs tonight.

Pork ribs, just like someone else’s momma used to make. Cuz we sure as shit never ate pork that wasn’t in a chinese take out box.

The recipe is from over there —->

Do me a favor, will ya? Go and check out my last post at The Zaz Report. It’s really quite clever (if I don’t say so myself) and leave a comment, will ya?

I’ve Been Crowned

07.27.08

Not to speak of out of turn but Beth Blecherman has crowned me geek for a day. A day? Who’s she kidding? I think in HTML. I don’t know code or java, flash or CSS but I do know that href tags need to be closed with </a>.

I wonder what the crown looks like and if I could extend my geekiness for a few extra days?

Because ya know, getting crowned and all is kinda hawt.

As a 1930s wife, I am

Take the test!

Meanwhile I blame Dick for this abomination.

Strangers in my Home

07.26.08

The LA Mommy Bloggers couldn’t wait for their formal launch party in September and someone who rhymes with SoCalMom (Yeah I get no privacy so either do you) suggested a less formal get together. Because I can’t hold my liquor and don’t want a DUI I’m a giver I volunteered my home.

It dawned on my this morning that I invited a dozen women to my home. None of whom I’ve ever met. If you are not in possession of a set of ovaries you really don’t know what this all means.

I have to remodel my home.

Cautiously Using My Real Name

07.25.08

What have I done?

I thought I’d use this domain as sort of a hub where I could sent you around the Web to read my contributions elsewhere.

Then I realized that I own it and this belongs to me and y’all are clearly dying for a pearl of wisdom.

I’m up at the LA Moms Blog talking about headlice and cursing and I’m considering making this a real home for my pointless ramblings.
