The Best Camera

by Mishelle Lane

on August 11, 2010 in Nerdgasm

I’ve often heard that the best camera you have is the one you have on you.   I drove this message on my photography panel at BlogHer’10 in New York City, even! Sure, Lola and Mustard Boy allow me to carry my camera in style, but sometimes it’s just not feasible to take it with me [...]

Obsession Is Not Just A Song By Animotion

by Tena

on August 10, 2010 in General

I go overboard.  It’s a character flaw. Some (like my shrink) might call it OCD. Sure, I insist that shampoo bottles be closed when I get in the shower. Throw pillows must face a certain way. Blue towels and white towels are NOT to touch.  I wipe down my baseboards twice a day.  The Wii [...]

I spend a significant amount of my precious time online. It’s where I make monies, conduct my business, and commiserate with my friends. Most of the time, I have a reason for being online. Part of my self-appointed “job” is be be social and do many things at once. Do do everything that I do [...]

Surgical Perks

I recently had surgery. It was my first time. When I walked into the operating room (yes, WALKED IN MYSELF), I came this close to having a panic attack. I was really nervous, and just as I was about to burst into tears, the clever scrub nurse started asking me questions, like what was my [...]

“Here I stand. I can do no other.” ~Martin Luther The other day, I found myself  talking with a good friend about underwear. Before you get all excited, it wasn’t the GOOD kind of girlie underwear talk. No, we were talking about the kind that generally has Spiderman or Cinderella emblazoned across the back. I [...]

How to Make Iced Coffee at Home

by Mishelle Lane

on August 9, 2010 in EZPZ

Oh, how I love the place with the green straw. Oh, how I don’t love paying over two dollars a cup, when I can get a 2 pound bag of nice, oily, delicious, and flavorful beans* for about ten dollars. Here’s what I do to solve this little dilemma: I make a strong, strong, strong, [...]

on August 5, 2010 in Playing House

Okay, so maybe assuming you’ve been waiting for these updates is a bit of a stretch. I mean, I doubt you’ve been coming here daily just to check to see if I’ve updated you on my carpet and my rules. Those posts were from a year ago, for crying out loud.  I’m sure you  have [...]

I’ll Be Your Tee-Shirt

by Mishelle Lane

on August 5, 2010 in Identity

Last week, in Walmart, while buying dog food, I kept getting these little messages. The first one was simple.  It read, “Just Do It.” The next one expounded on that notion a little.  It read, “Just Do It.  And, Do It Again.” Then, as I was walking to the van I saw the last one; [...]

by Jenbshaw

on August 4, 2010 in Identity

So there is a lot of road construction going on in my town this summer. A LOT. That in itself is not so out of the ordinary or rage inducing. The part that incites my rage is the type of road construction. Let me break this down for you. First of all my town has [...]

And that’s how to prepare yourself for Blogher

by Shauna Glenn

on August 4, 2010 in Community

This week is Blogher 2010 in New York City. And I don’t about you, but I’m already giving myself pep talks about how and what and when to say and do things. Because if you’re anything like me (please say I’m not the only one who does this) you sometimes say and DO stupid shit. [...]
