Patt and I, circa 2011. Yes, the wine is called “Sibling Rivalry”
This past weekend, I found a yellow Hilroy notebook filled with bad poetry I wrote when I was ten. One of the poems was about my sister, Patti.
I’ve posted A Poem for My Sister, circa 1981 at StuffKidsWrite.com.
Get ready for political incorrectness…
A while ago, I wrote a post entitled What Makes Someone Sexy? Evidently, ParentsConnect, part of the big brand of Nickelodeon, liked some of the content because they’ve featured me as one of their Top Sexy Mamas. (Note to self: To feel more sexy as I write this post, I should likely change out of the yoga pants, hoodie, and a smurf-style hat I’m wearing. Nah.).
Speaking of putting on something less comfortable, I donned a superhero costume for the funeral of Educlaytion. Yes, my bestest buddy, Clay Morgan, is euthanizing his much loved blog, and today is the funeral. There are several hilarious videos, all paying tribute. I’m pretty sure this might be the first ever blog funeral. Seriously, you need to check out Educlaytion’s Funeral.

For some reason, when I write guest posts for other bloggers, I frequently reveal a different side of me, often a less funny one.
Today, I’m over at Reed My Writing, run by humor writer and dad, J.R. Reed, a funny man with whom I’ve shared many tweets over the past month.
On Thursdays, J.R. runs a metaphorical Happy Hour, where he invites a blogger to be a guest “bartender” and tell a story they might share in a social situation. Evidently I was busy pouring myself a few because I’ve gone a bit personal…
Please click over to read my post, Roses in Bahrain. There are some details I’ve never shared before, either in the history in the blogosphere or in real life.
I’ll see you in the comments at Reed My Writing! Let me know what you’re drinking and I’ll pour you one.
