Driven to Distraction

Hey all! I’m over at New England Mamas talking about audio books, a subject I started here in November. Our newer titles are listed as well, in case you want to know what we’re doing in our car when we’re driving all over creation.

Why I Was Never a Copywriter. . .

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! Let’s see if I can come up with a slogan:

Be Kind to Your Behind: Schedule Your Colonoscopy Today!

Fifty is Nifty (and time for a colonoscopy).

Make a Booty Call and Schedule a Colonoscopy Today.

Don’t be an Ass! Schedule a Colonoscopy Today.

Colorectal Cancer: Don’t Take It Sitting Down.

Colorectal Cancer: A Bum Rap.

(somewhere, I know my dad is groaning)

If you didn’t get a chance to read about my colonoscopy experience last fall, I’m sharing it with the good people over at New England Mamas. Click here for that post.

Despite the title to this post, someone I know and love dearly entrusted me to write this for the coolest mom shopping site there is.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, Part II

Before I get into my next stage of “hair confusion” (to see the first stage, click here), let me see if I can convince you to look at something else instead. . .

First, I signed myself up to participate in Neil Kramer’s (of
Citizen of the Month fame) Great Interview Experiment. The gracious, kind and intelligent Mocha Momma was selected to interview me. When I found out that she is High School Administrator, I thought, “Oh, terrific, she gets to interview the homeschooling mother-freak!”

But, I hate to disappoint anyone who was hoping for some sort of “School versus Homeschool Mom Death Match” , because she was wonderful! Her questions were fun to answer and hopefully give her readers (who are thinking, “who the heck is that loser in a prom gown?”) a good picture of who I am. You can find the interview here.

Next, I’m over at
New England Mamas talking about some great in-home birthday party ideas for the rugrats. “Great” meaning: not a lot of money or prep time needed, yet fun for the age group in mind.

Oh, you are still here? Well, I have something for you.

When I last left you in Bad-Hair Land, I was looking pretty bleached and fluffy. Slowly, I started to wean myself from the peroxide and even started going shorter:


What a vixen, eh?

Looks like I slept with my hair rolled in Coke cans.

Still not ready to show off my ears. But, my hair is less filling!


At the end of my last post, I said I’d share a photo from my perm days. Those days are actually much earlier than this series of photos, but a promise is a promise. So here I am, circa 1986:


Funny how I dressed older at 21 than I do now. . .
