I’m having one of those moments when I doubt my writing. No, not my professional writing. I enjoy that very much and I think I do a decent job most of the time. Need to know how to do something? No problem! Want my professional opinion on something? You got it!
It’s my writing. Here. A […]

I had a few awkward moments at BlogHer. Who hasn’t? I was a total dork when I went up to Linda Lee from Parent Dish, babbling about how I knew her face from somewhere and realizing that it was her pic from the site. She smiled and thanked me for coming up and saying hello, […]

Traveling with a baby sucks donkey balls. I’m just sayin’. There’s really no easy way to go about it, especially when you’re flying solo and your child is too big to carry in a sling for more than 5 minutes.
And babies need a lot of crap, so you pack twice as much - maybe three […]

I cannot believe how tired I am right now. I think I’m more exhausted this year than I was last — and I was pregnant then!
Baby was awesome at daycare. He totally rocked it. I checked in several times during the day, and the ladies there just loved him. Said he was golden. He hit […]

It’s getting close. BlogHer happens next week. As it approaches, I’m inexplicably nervous.
I’m excited about seeing friends and representing Ask Patty. Juggling the kid and luggage and a stroller by myself and trying to take BART will be interesting, but I left myself plenty of time to handle it.
It’s the social thing. I don’t know […]

Suddenly, inexplicably, I find myself behind in everything. Dishes, laundry, work, writing. You name it, I’m probably failing miserably at it. At one point, I felt like I was maintaining just fine.
I’m not sure where the tipping point was. It happened somewhere and I find myself doing everything I can to keep my head above […]

Less than a month remains before the BlogHer con. This will be my third year to go. Woo!
It will be different for me this time for two reasons:
1) I’m taking the baby boy with me. (Yikes?)
The boy will actually be in daycare for a good part of the time (assuming I can handle being away […]

I’m rarely at a loss for words. I can - and regularly do - talk your ear off. It may not be anything terribly deep or life-changing, but I can chat with the best of them. I consider my blog a place to chat with ‘teh intarwebs’ and find some common ground with other people.
And […]

I told my group at work that I was leaving. We’ve had the same core of people for quite a while now, and they’re like a bit of family to me. We’ve shared so many things. They’ve been with me when I got married, graduated college, and had a baby. We’ve had parties, eaten a […]

I got sucked into “Farmer Wants a Wife” on the CW network tonight. My interest was mostly in the fact that the guy is from Missouri (so am I, in case you didn’t know) and I wanted to see how he — and small town life — is portrayed.
I know it can be done. I […]
