One Roundup away — which means one week away — from the great Cake Extravaganza. Since the linky tool worked well last week, next Friday, upload a picture of a piece of cake (and don’t get hung up on the words “a piece of cake” — if you want to bake a whole cake or [...]
298th Friday Blog Roundup
I was going to write an addendum to that last post and then … well … the day got away from me as it seems to have everyday for the last four weeks (and I massively apologize if you are waiting for an email back from me. My goal is to be caught up reading [...]
297th Friday Blog Roundup
When I wrote the title of this post, I realized we were only three posts away from the 300th Roundup. Remember? It’s the one where we were going to show our work spaces. Are you currently saying, “oh crap! I meant to do that?” Well, you should be saying that, slackers. Though I am just [...]
296th Friday Blog Roundup
Yesterday was Mr. Whiskers’ birthday (he of earectomy fame) and we–of course–had to throw him a party. Mr. Whiskers loves Wii, so we had to include some Wii. Mr. Whiskers loves chocolate chip cookies, so–naturally, like all inanimate objects–he deserves freshly-made chocolate chip cookies. And lastly, Mr. Whiskers requested crepes for dinner. I forgot to [...]
295th Friday Blog Roundup
I blogged about the new blood test designed to predict when you will go into menopause over at BlogHer, and while there are still kinks to work out and more studies to be done for the test, the doctor who created it has been able to predict within a four month window when you’ll start [...]
294th Friday Blog Roundup
So, now that we are about to pass into July, this is the annual Who-Is-Going-to-BlogHer-from-the-ALI-Community list. If you’re going, let me know in the comment section below and I’ll compile a list. Yes, I still want to have an ALI get together while we’re all up there since it sounds like a lot of people [...]
293rd Friday Blog Roundup
I was at a blogging event in DC and I received a ticket for a free half hour session with a professional photographer. It’s kismet that I also need a head shot for the new book as well as a brochure for a speaking event so I wrote her the day after the event to [...]

292nd Friday Blog Roundup
You’ve probably read by now one of the 8000 posts out there about abortions performed after IVF. You know, the one where they paint women who utilize IVF as desiring “designer goods” (because that’s the reason why people do selective reduction–to get a Vera Wang baby). This is my take over at BlogHer on whether [...]
291st Friday Blog Roundup
I am going to two parties this weekend. The first is comprised entirely of people I have known for at least eleven years. Some for much longer than that. We all knew each other before we met our partners and got married and had children. It is a group that is entirely entrenched in history [...]
290th Friday Blog Roundup
Okay, for the 300th post of the Friday Blog Roundup, we’re going to play a game that I am calling: Blog Marks the Spot. It will air in place of the 299th Friday Blog Roundup on July 30th so we can have a proper Roundup for the 300th post on August 6th. If you want [...]
289th Friday Blog Roundup
I am quickly approaching the 300th Friday Blog Roundup and I am mulling over what I can do to mark the occasion. As long as I write one weekly for the next 11 weeks, the 300th Roundup should fall on August 6th, the weekend of BlogHer. I’d prefer to do something online rather than at [...]
288th Friday Blog Roundup
I can’t really put into words how much the comments on my last post mean to me. Feelings that enormous defy words and can only be captured in interpretive dance or orchestral music or a personal Cirque du Soleil show. Reading the comments is like putting on a sweatshirt after the sun has gone down [...]
287th Friday Blog Roundup
You know when you haven’t exercised in a while and you return to running and you take a few gingerly-conducted jogs in place for a moment, wondering if you’ve still got it? That’s sort of how I feel about writing the Roundup. I mean, I wrote yesterday just as I write every day, but I [...]
Space carnival, rover update, Planetary Radio Live!
Just a linky post today, as I am nanny-less:I had great fun recording Planetary Radio Live on Friday night (yes, it's a recorded show, but it was recorded in front of a live studio audience); I did my usual blog roundup for Mat, butShow More Summary
286th Friday Blog Roundup
If you’ve got time to read, you’ve got time to write (it doesn’t quite have the same ring as “if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean”). Right now, close this post, open your own blog and write your damn Project IF post! There are only two more days. Two days. WAIT–I mean…after [...]
285th Friday Blog Roundup
On Tuesday night, I had a dream that I came home and Josh told me (in the most matter-of-fact voice in the world), that Lindsay had made copies of our house key and sent it out to numerous bloggers. I walked into the dining room and N from Two Hot Mamas was crouching by the [...]
284th Friday Blog Roundup
Josh had to clean out his car before we traded it in at the dealership and in his scouring of all nooks and crannies, unearthed a CD I’ve been looking for since the twins were born (you’d think it would be easy to find something as large as a CD in a space as compact [...]
283rd Friday Blog Roundup
So…Project IF has been brewing for about five months. I am so relieved we can all actually talk about it finally. When we started planning Project IF, I was so focused on the logistics that I didn’t think about how hard I would cry reading down the list. Reading other people’s fears. Stating my own. Reliving [...]
282nd Friday Blog Roundup
On Wednesday, we went to the Crayola Factory even though it really wasn’t on our way home. We had a whole other trip planned to use up spring break and that got changed so Plan B was to choose something fun between New York and DC, hence how a trip to Crayola was spontaneously proposed [...]
