I lived in San Jose for almost ten years and I never really identified myself with that area. It was actually rather accidental that I lived there at all for that long. I went to college there, not really knowing anything about the city.
There are things that I grew to love. I really...

My family and I had been planning a Spring Break vacation to Hawaii for some time now. It was something I was really looking forward to. We had the dates all set, March 24th-28th. As the date drew near, we started seriously looking at vacation packages. We were pretty shocked. For a family of...

I was getting ready for work yesterday morning and I had a few things on the bathroom counter; toothpaste, mascara, lotion. Nothing out of the ordinary. But something in particular caught my preschoolers eye. I was busy looking at myself in the mirror when he picked up something and asked,...

Back in October, I read the Bee article about the soldier from Stockton who had committed suicide over in Iraq. He was 21 years old. I repeat, 21 years old. His story struck me in such a way. I cried for him, for his too short life, for the loneliness he must have felt for so long, exacerbated by...

I got a nice surprise yesterday. As I was driving home from teaching, I looked down to my lap and could see all the way to my seat, between my legs. Usually all I see is belly, so that's a pretty big deal for me. I was just a little excited about it (ok, told my husband first thing when he came...

It seems like every day we hear about a new piece of technology that will make our lives "easier". From iPhones to iPods, computer games, DVRs and the list goes on. How is technology affecting us and how is it affecting our kids? Good, bad, indifferent? What do you think?

(Yeah, I’m a little scatterbrained today. I couldn't decide on one title.)
I make daily lists of what I’m supposed to be focusing my time on. Without these lists, I’d be doomed. Now that I’m not taking any classes (this semester), I’m focusing one day on just art...

I know the saying goes the other way, but this is much more appropriate in my case.
I have been in therapy, weekly, for over six months. There is no end in sight - literally. I remember when I first started. I would show up, my hair tied in a bun. Had I washed my face that morning? Had I...

I hate the birth control pill. It makes me crazy, I throw up, and I gain weight. However, I'm not such a happy camper now either.
Before I had a kid, I had regular, lovely, short periods. My cycle was EXACTLY 30 days. No joke. I actually took the pregnancy test 12 hours after I was late and...

Am I the only one who is just appalled at Britney Spears' behavior?! I completely understand that she likely has a legitimate mental illness, but someone in her position has every option available for treatment...so why isn't she being treated?'
After a few discussions around the water cooler, I...

I've been away from the Club for a while. I surprisingly don't feel out of the loop. I guess it's because there is always a relatability between mothers and though our stories are different from each others', there is also an element of familiarity and that can make a frantic, stressed out, or...

Since we were going to be in Elk Grove on Saturday afternoon, I took my daughter and her friend down to the Micke Grove Zoo in Lodi...we had a great time. If you read my previous blog posting, I didn't even know there was a zoo in Lodi, and we weren't disappointed.
The zoo is small, but for the...

Thursday my husband called me from work to double check that we didn’t have any plans for Saturday night. Something not out of the norm for him to do. I assumed he was going to make some plans with his friends or had a work event to attend. So when he told me no, that he’s planning...

My husband and I went to church this Sunday for the first time being married. We wanted our 3 year old to go to the Sunday school there to get an idea of what preschool would be like, and we wanted to see if we liked the church. My 3 year old had a blast, a friend of mine was in...
