My Quote
Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!
About Me
Just your average single mom who can't seem to behave herself. Not in a salacious way, just, sort of, always silly, too open, too blunt. The most likely cause of death for my son will be embarassment, because I can't seem to pull off the nice little mother routine.
About My Family
It's me and my son, who is nine. And then there's the extended family, which includes the babypapa who lives nearby and pulls his weight in the duties and affection and wisdom department. Which makes me a lucky mama, even if things didn't work out as I had planned.

Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!What I've Been Talking About
Griffith Park Clubhouse
Los Angeles, CA
Pricey, but great view
What we loved:
The gorgeous view
What we didn't love:
The prices
The view at the top of a Los Angeles mountain really is wonderful. We were there on a clear day and you could see the ocean and the city below. We ended up getting hot dogs ... I think that all we wanted was chips but they were so darn expensive ...we though the hot dog was a better deal.
We sat near the edge and just relaxed. It was really very nice.
Cable Car Museum
San Francisco, CA
My son loved the gears
What we loved:
The massive complexity of the gears
What we didn't love:
The noise was a bit much
My son, who is 10, loved to see all the mechanics of the place. Those turning gears were very impressive. I loved the old cars and imagining the history of the city
Puberty for Girls
When I first got my period the absolute worst part of it was the shame associated with the unavoidable stains that happen. My mom made me scrub and scrub and it was awful and I felt terrible that I could never get them out. Later in life I read somewhere that hydrogen peroxide will get out blood stains really easily, and I tried it and it works like a charm. You put a little on the stain, even if it's dried, and the peroxide bubbles up... apparently it reacts to organic compounds ... and you let it bubble, and if it doesn't come out the first time you do it again, and before you know it, the stain is out.
This is something I wish my mom had known/taught me. It would have made me feel a lot better.
Not Acceptable?
Thanks for visiting my web page. I have been waiting for somebody to 'come by'! :) You are my first guest. What state do you live in?
Not Acceptable?I totally agree with you about your child being able to defend himself. My son is in martial arts, and the intructor teaches that you should only use martial arts as a last resort-- it's better to talk your problems out. That's great and I agree- but I also feel better that he can defend and throw a punch! :)
