Who I Am
I read, I write, I occasionally look to make sure my kids aren't playing with matches.
My novel, Continuity, is repped by Laney Katz Becker of Markson Thoma.
More about me and my writing.

Survival Mode
Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Both Pie and Rebecca Rubin are doing well right now, thank you. It was really touch and go for both of them for a bit. Pie had such a fit this morning that I had a choice to make: Do something that would rightfully have DSS after me or take it out on Rebecca Rubin. [...]
Quote of the Day
Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Pie asks if we can play Pengoloo, and I say sure. Pengaloo is a memory game in which penguins sit upon colored eggs. You roll the dice and have to find the colors on the dice. Pie finds the first two sets immediately. “Wow, you’re lucky!” I say. “Well, I set up the penguins. So [...]
Snow Day
Sunday, December 20, 2009
We all react to the snow in different ways. While a Sunday snow day is not a terrible thing, I was a bit disappointed because I had been looking forward to a few weekend activities that had to be reshuffled. The Tweedle Twirp was going to come visit, but that got canceled, which also means [...]
Complaints
Friday, December 18, 2009
You know those days when everything runs so smoothly and perfectly, and things just get themselves done? Yeah, I’m not having one of those days, either. I’ve been having the kind of days where I manage to squeeze in a hair appointment before next week’s trip (Pie was kind enough to say, “Mommy, show me [...]

If you’re wondering where your holiday card is, it’s right here because I’m supposed to be writing them right now, but instead, here I am on my blog. Oh well! I’m not excited about this year’s cards because Adam was in charge of proofreading and I should know better than to let an MBA proofread; [...]

Friday, December 11, 2009
Tonight begins eight days and nights of greasy, oily skin… I mean Hanukkah! Hanukkah officially began about two hours ago, and I’ve already had latkes three times this season. Ugh. Today I went into Doodles’s class to make latkes, but first I had to experiment and make them last week, because–due to allergies–I needed to [...]

You're the biggest Negative Nelly I've ever met!D: Mom, you're going to live with me a long time. You gotta get [...]
“I Ain’t People!”
Saturday, December 5, 2009
I’m watching Singing in the Rain with my kids. We checked it out of the library, “we” being me and Pie, as Doodles swore he had no interest and all he wanted to do was listen to the Harry Potter book on CD he checked out. But about ten minutes in, Doodles wandered into the [...]
