I am sitting in the Disney Wonder’s adult lounge “The Cove” writing this to you. It is freezing, but I refuse to give up hope of seeing the sun I saw on the cruise’s marketing DVD. So, instead of breaking down and shelling out $50 for a cheesy, yet cozy, Disney sweatshirt, I walked around […]

Dear my blog, I miss you so much! I haven’t been able to write on you for so long–three whole days! I know, I desperately miss you too. I can see by the stats meter that hardly anyone is coming to visit you while I have been away. Don’t get discouraged. They do love you, […]

I just wrote something on The Mom Blog at ocregister.com. It will post on Saturday at 7:30 am: OC Moms getting their just rewards in Florida. There we are, Jana, Jill and I lounging at the “beach” at the not-at-all-tacky Dolphin Hotel Resort. (Note slight sarcasm in tone…will explain…later.) As you can see, I have […]

We are off to the Disney Cruise tomorrow. We go to The Disney World Resort first for two days and then board the Disney Wonder on Easter Sunday. I am hoping to be able to post a least one picture a day. I don’t like to fly, so my stomach is already in knots thinking […]

Eric and Annie gave Larry and I a CD of Band Of Horses when we were in San Francisco and I have been listening to them almost exclusively this last week. I like this song the best, “No one’s gonna love you (more than I do).” There wasn’t a video for the song on Youtube, […]

On “Mommy’s Mind Is Not A Toy” today, Whining: A Young Child’s Only Weapon. “Alive in Wonderland” is going to debut on ocregister.com’s Morning Read Page next Thursday, not this Thursday, the following Thursday. I will post all the info here. I want you to read that too. Take a look at this slide show […]

I can’t stop taking on writing adventures. Poor “accomplished” Suzanne Broughton doesn’t stand a chance any longer. I can just see her resisting the urge to google herself, finally giving in, and cursing the day I ever decided to start blogging. I suppose there is the possiblity she just doesn’t care to be the most […]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. I feel like telling a little Irish story–my very own Irish story. When I was nineteen I went to Germany to visit my brother and, for reasons that are too complicated to explain now, I ended up traveling alone to Ireland. Armed with a Youth Hostel pass, an enormous backpack and […]
