Coming Out as a Mother
For Day 3: Motherhood and Reproduction for 14valentines
By the time my son arrived, I’d been coming out to people for twenty years - for so long that I didn’t even think about it any more, that it didn’t even occur to me that I was coming out any more. I was just talking about my life.

I feel I have been taking good advantage of my summer recently! In the past two weeks I have seen the Gaslight Anthem twice -- once in Philly at Penns Landing by the river, which was an awesome show, and once in Jersey at the Stone Pony summerstage, which was a good show but not quite as awesome due to being in basically a hot parking lot full of ( Read more... ) -

The heat has been keeping me away from my computer upstairs, and from updating lj. But we had rain today and the heat broke, which is good, as i think it's been making everyone out of sorts. My sister and I went to see The Kids Are All Right today, and the first theater we went to, the air conditioning was out in the theater with that movie only, ( Read more... ) -

I have been mostly away from my computer a lot lately, due to the heat, and now to escape the heat here I am going to Washington DC in July! I have to go to DC most summers for a few days for work, and I always like to tack on a day or two, to see friends and to go look at something historic. One of these days I'd like to stay for a solid few days ( Read more... ) -

I have been doing a lot of things lately, most of them fun, but all of them keeping me busy. This weekend I went to the Appel Farms Music Festival. It was unreasonably hot for Jersey in early June, so we went late in the day. We saw Patty Griffin, who was good although she played mostly her newest gospel album (at least that I heard -- I was kind ( Read more... ) -

Here are some things I am finding awesome:
My brother emailed me a link to the style rookie's post about Sassy, dear departed Sassy. I remember the Kurt & Courtney cover! And the Dear Boy column.
I burst out laughing in a restaurant yesterday when I read, thanks to riorhapsody, that The Academy Is will be on tour with KISS this summer. Sometimes I would ( Read more... ) -

I have not posted in a long time, and I'm very tempted to start out with an update about the weather! Probably because I'm in a phase right now where my mood is mainly driven by one of two factors: whether it's beautiful and sunny out or raining; and/or if my lawn has just been mowed or if I'm bringing shame on my house in front of the neighbors ( Read more... ) -

New Hold Steady album streaming on npr.org -- I'm so excited for this, I can't wait to have it on my ipod so I can listen to it in my car as I drive around all summer long. There are three albums I'm dying for that should all be coming out relatively soon -- this one, the new Josh Ritter, and the new Gaslight Anthem. I'm also excited for summer/ ( Read more... ) -
the theme of this party's the Industrial Age
New Hold Steady song, The Weekenders. I got a little choked up listening, it's my favorite so far. Although I suppose I could take Hurricane J as a shout-out, but seriously, no one wants to be the girl in a Hold Steady song ( Read more... )
