photo credit “Wow,” my psychiatrist looked up from her notes where she’d just written in my case history that I’d been sexually assaulted, pressed charges and sent him to prison, “you must feel so proud! And vindicated! And powerful!” I’d gone to see her to talk about medicine for my post-partum depression, not a court …
When it comes to eating disorders I often have a been-there-done-that-bought-the-t-shirt attitude. What I forget is that despite being around since at least the Greeks, these pernicious disorders are constantly evolving to take advantage of current trends and products. So it was with some surprise I read an e-mail from a brave and beautiful reader. …
Somersaults gave me my first official magic power: I have a built-in snow-scraper thanks to my pinkie and ring fingers on my right hand being almost completely numb! Who needs hot pads or full gloves or thimbles when your fingers are devoid of feeling? (Okay, be honest – who ever needs thimbles these days anyhow?) …
Not getting drunk-texted at 2 a.m. is one of the big perks of being an official grown-up (the closest I get these days is when the autocorrect feature on a friend’s phone sends me really random messages about Sydney and gum GymBuddyAllison!.) So when this grammatically challenged missive from a friend showed up in the …
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel. See? I’ve already marked my territory with all my fingerprints! I’m a computer addict. I’ll own it. So much of my life depends on the Internet that if there were a surgery to embed a high-speed line into my spine, I’d do it. (Although on second …
Funny – I think real calamari, tentacles and all, is delish but this hot dog version just gave me a full body shudder. Red-neck seafood, indeed.

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel. I only wish I were as cool as this guy. There are many things they do not tell you when you first have a child, like the fact that your post-partum butt will look exactly like those baboon butts at the zoo – minus the flies, …

Amazon just dropped the price of my book down to $8.22! (Why the drop? Will it go down further? Does this make me “cheap”? Why the arbitrary 22 cents?? I HAVE NO IDEA. Nobody tells me anything. Seriously.) Craziness! But use this to your advantage – if you’ve been on the fence about ordering, get …
