I found friends on the internet a while ago. As the story goes, shortly after I started my blog a friend of a friend sent me an email about something and at the end of her message there was a link to her blog. Once I visited her space, I discovered she had links to many other…
What ARE We (AM I) Doing??
I recently read this article by Allison Slater Tate – Parenting as a Gex-Xer: We’re the first generation of parents in the age of iEverything. If you are about the same age as me and you read this you will be nodding your head the entire time, I promise. I can relate to everything she…
You DON’T Have a Blog??
I was in church the other day and I was supposed to be listening to the priest. And I was, for the most part. But my mind drifted for minute or two, as it tends to do sometimes, and I noticed a woman and her family – her husband and their three sons – in the front…
Old School Blogging, Wrapping Up Summer
My boys went back to school today (and K starts on Monday!) so you know what that means right? Even though technically, there is still over a month of Summer left, it’s over. The lazy mornings and pool time and PJ days are a thing of the past. Well, until next June anyway. And here’s…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
Blogging Lives On…
I have been reading blogs for almost as long as I have been writing one. I started writing here (or, at alguires.blogpost.com) in November of 2006. Then a year later I found OTHER blogs through a friend of a friend. Mind. Blown. (I was so cute back then, figured only 10 other people were blogging…
It Was Truly Amazing
There is a popcorn kernel on the rug next to K’s cute silver sandals, dropped there by G. There are LEGOs on my desk in front of me that G built, a “unicorn” for each of us. He even used a Sharpie to make smiley faces on them. In the chair next to me is B, navigating…
Out Loud
For those of you who read here regularly and/or are friends with me on Facebook, you know about the show coming up this weekend, Listen To Your Mother. As the official “producer” of the show, and with Jennifer at my side as the director, a lot of hard work, worrying, laughter, and even a few…
The What, Why and How of My Writing
It’s kinda funny to write about writing, right? I mean, I think so. But Jennifer (and actually Angela too) pushed me into encouraged me to put it out there about how I write so here goes. Let me know if your writing process is similar to mine. Also let me know if it is not….
Old School Blogging, Random is Back!
I started Old School Blogging last year because I really do enjoy answering and reading other people’s responses to random questions. Like the “old” days of blogging, when we were all getting to know each other. Geez, that was a long time ago! The cool thing about blogging though? I am continually making new friends….
