My daughter brought home this book today. Listen, I’m a big fan of anthropomorphism (the assigning of human characteristics to animals or inanimate objects)–after all, as a Mom, I’m subjected to it every day on children’s TV. And while I’m certainly dying to know the secret thoughts of tools (“Handy Manny”), candy (“The Gummi Bears”),…

No Interviews with Vampires Here!
I’m just gonna go right ahead and say it. I know it will mortally wound thousand of teenaged girls and forty-year-old women everywhere, but I need to get this out in the open. I don’t get vampires. I love to read. I enjoy fiction, classics, historical, non-fiction,chick-lit, Playboy (no! Really! Good articles!). You name it,…

True love hurts. Sometimes it even involves paper cuts.
Technology has overrun our lives. In my house alone, we have 5, 6… a gazillion computing devices of one type or another. Laptops, smart phones, etcetera, etcetera, and on and on and on. My husband works in the technology sector so it makes sense we have so much but I’d be lying if I said…
