A New Era (And Meet My Favorite Room)
Moving day!
We’re moved in!!! Mostly. Our kitchen is still a construction zone, the toilets and showers are giving me sass, and I’ve been wandering around at 3am every night hanging things, so I am a puffy exhausted mess – but all of the bedrooms are more or less set up, we have a usable dining room, I know what day the trash gets picked up, et cetera. And the Wifi is functioning (!), hence my ability to write this post.
(BY THE WAY. 99% of the reason I’ve been able to do all of this while also...

In Which I Change Your Life
I’ve been writing about emotional labor for years. When I was married, the load that I carried in my mind each and every minute of each and every day was legitimately intolerable – but guess what? Being a single mom is…well, it’s not worse, exactly, because there’s one fewer person whose needs I have to keep track of, but it’s also not better. I still have to maintain a constant and ongoing list in my head consisting of approximately ten thousand tasks per child (and a few for me). And the pets...

A Fresh Story: On Peace-ing Out from the Internet
My dreams veer between acute realism and apocalyptic wastelands – an obvious, albeit depressing, metaphor for my perspective on life. Some nights, I dream that I’m in my own bedroom, eyes open in the dark, everything around me just as it should be…and then I glance upwards, and see a spider drifting down from the ceiling, legs extended towards my face.
Other nights, I’m walking down an office hallway when the building begins to crack, glass shattering in my face. I scurry down the side of a bu...

The Sponsored Products I Still Use Religiously (After All These Years)
Look at baby me modeling!
For many years, I made a living, in part, by writing about products and integrating them into this website. These were literally called “integration posts,” and they were what gave me the leeway to do the writing I loved, both here and elsewhere. But they weren’t exactly a hardship – I always really enjoyed the challenge of being presented with a new product or brand, seeing how it worked in my life, and then creating a story around it.
It was also, honestly, just supe...

My Little Pink Kitchen
I have a lot of conflicting feelings about my condo. On the plus side, I bought it! All by myself! The building it’s in burned to the ground during the Woolsey Fire, so it’s brand-new construction – which means everything works (!). Having lived in extremely ramshackle (hee) housing over the years – from our adorable-but-not-super-functional Hudson Valley house to a trailer with multi-million dollar views but no especially reliable electrical or plumbing – this is quite exciting. Sometimes I ju...

The brand new dowry, otherwise sin sod, are part of Thai society and just how love performs in Thailand
Very Westerners fail to comprehend the nearest and dearest connections off Thai women. For some ladies, marrying a non-native try a means out of specific poverty for the girl along with her family members – regardless of if she really does like you. This isn’t good mercenary duty as numerous Westerners claim, it is merely an example of the close nearest and dearest ...
