    Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui exploded into the mainstream media recently and became an international sensation not because she’s a kick ass swimmer, but because she mentioned having her period on live television, apparently shattering a barrier into a world where women menstruate. In China, menstruation is still very much a taboo. Women often won’t use tampons because it is said to rob…

    So, I started a fad diet. A friend of mine talked me into it. I like her a great deal. She’s one of my favorite people. My husband calls it a pyramid scheme. And I’m not sure if he’s right because I’m not actually sure what it is I’m doing. But I am going to…

    First my cat disappeared. Then I started praying. I pray sometimes but only when it’s convenient for me, like when I’m on an airplane and I think I might fall from the sky. I pray for that not to happen. I prayed when my aunt got breast cancer. She’s still with us. I prayed when…

    Our kitchen is much bigger than the last one, which means I’m spending nearly all my time there. It also means I’m cooking a lot more. I’ve been getting up and making the boys chocolate chip pancakes every morning. And Murray usually joins them at the bar, especially since pancakes are involved. Not sure what it is about brown tabby…

    Quick update! Not that anyone reads blogs—or maybe just this blog—anymore! Let’s see: I kind of got depressed. Got help. Felt better. Started running a lot. Started baking a lot. Got caught up in my kids and the summer and the fact that they are all home with me. I lost my password to my site…

    After I picked up Elliot from school today, two birds flew into the side of my car. I couldn’t not know the outcome, although I don’t deal with these things very well. I decided to drive around the block and park on a side street to check on them. One was dead. The other was…

    Last week I had two cakes to complete and deliver. I was nervous because one of them was a three-tiered wedding cake which included a 30-minute drive. Every single bump and turn, every pebble matters. I get so worked up the days leading up to delivering a cake. It’s not pretty. I’m not pretty. There was that one time I drove…

    I said I would write about about The Walking Dead and I will. But right now I simply must declare my love for The Leftovers a show that kills me once a week. Now, forgive me for a second, but I’m going to come off as a selfish ass and make this all about me. Ok? Ok. But it’s as if Damon Lindelof and…

    Toby got me this mug. It’s particularly funny to us because in the past I was notorious for undervaluing my design skills and basically designing stuff for free. I’m trying really hard to avoid doing that with my cakes. Anyway, he got me this as a daily reminder.
