My brother Ben is moving to town! The news came a little out of left field-- I mean, we'd talked about it before, but it was mostly in passing; sort of a Wouldn't it be great if...? thing. Quickly mentioned, quickly forgotten or blown off. Then his whole work/living/relationship situation … [Read more...]
no more small talk
Ever since I launched my personal blog and then this, my Urbanmoms blog, there seems to be no more small talk. It's like no matter the weather I just can't get anyone to talk about it with me anymore. I went public and deep and now everyone is that way with me too. Just this week, my first … [Read more...]
There are pies in store for Joseph Gordon-Levitt
....and THIS is where I switch over from being all just MEH about Joseph Gordon-Levitt to hopping on the, um, love train. I mean, really, up until now he was just Cameron from Ten Things I Hate About You. You know, the guy who WASN'T Heath Ledger. Or maybe I thought of him as being fairly … [Read more...]
So, What Have You Been Up To?
I just can't stand that question- "So, what have you been up to?"My answer- "Nothing" "Not much" "Oh, nothing new", or sometimes, just to be wild, I answer with "Busy, Busy, Busy!".Even if there is something new going on in my life, "So, what have you been up to?" is such a generic question that I … [Read more...]
Name
I love Brinley's name more with each passing day. This is how it ought to be.It suits her, we're all getting used to saying it, and it's already become a part of who she is. I never felt that with Karenna's original name (which was "Jolie" in case you missed that post) and it was an awful, sinking … [Read more...]

This week - it's the Radiohead classic - Fake Plastic Trees *how about a version when they're on Conan...before the whole Jay fiasco* I first heard Radiohead when I went … [Read more...]
Alice Brady I Am Not
Ok so her name really wasn't Alice Brady but would anyone actually know who I was talking about if I said Alice Nelson? I mean we all get that I'm talking about Alice from the Brady Bunch right? What I'm really trying to say is that my housekeeping skills are...less than stellar. To be honest they … [Read more...]
sensory deprivation
When my oldest child, Celia, was born, she had massive colic. Nine months of screaming, foaming out-of-the-mouth, and steady rocking with wine being consumed by the bottle on the patio kind of colic. It IS really a miracle we tried for another child after Celia's screaming died down to a … [Read more...]

The Tale of Don and Peggy. Spoiler Alert: It’s a Sonny Liston-esque KNOCKOUT
I'm not going to lie. Mad Men will likely go down in history as being my all-time favorite show. Sure, there have been shows that have made me laugh, made me think, and pretty much broken my brain (omg LOST) but there's isn't a show like Mad Men. Not only does it completely accurately portray a … [Read more...]
