Wednesday’s Child: John

August 18, 2021

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

ANGER CONFUSED AS LOVE, AND THE REST OF 2010 | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011.

August 12, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011. I continue in my 15 minutes of fame as the woman who loves/hates minivans, depending on where you’re reading. So controversial, I am!! It’s like a telephone game.  I made anti-minivan remarks!  I’m the woman who fell in love with the minivan!   (Um, no.)  I’m riding on the coattails of Rage Against the Machine and should be ashamed of myself! I think that my being quoted on any of this conversation is utterly amusing, . . .

India is in tech week for her show and it’s safe to say Spring Awakening has become her new fashion aesthetic. It’s not a costume, it’s a lifestyle. (Come see her show! Tickets here: @braverplayers_theater) Accountability over party. It shouldn’t need to be said.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISES | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011.

August 5, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011. Today was my birthday.  I spent the entire day thinking that I was turning 37 today.  I gave quite a bit of thought about the fact that I am no longer mid-thirties.  I thought about how old 37 seemed, and how brief life was, and the ways I wanted to be different as I enter my LATE THIRTIES (dun dun DUNNNNN).  This age just really felt like a milestone. Around 11pm tonight, a friend pointed out that I am 36 today, not 37.  If . . .

Life Lately

August 2, 2021

Gen Z fashion is a throwback delight. Straight out of the 90's all the way down to the cross-body bag, Clueless skirts, lace tights and waist-wrapped flannel. Just waiting for them to discover Rocket Dog Platform slides. Fifteen minutes after my "I need you to do anything but watch more tv" monologue. When you open up the attic of the home you owned for 20 years and find out that not one, but two of your bathrooms in your house have exhaust fan so that vent into....nothing. Just sucking . . .
