Rules That Don’t Exist
I love this picture. The boy's name is Henry, the son of a blogger named Sabra, who explained the photo like this: Because some days you should get what you want. That's my explanation for this picture. Henry is wearing the PJ bottoms he begged to keep on, the shoes he insisted on (one a rain boot and the other a pair of sandals). He's eating peanut butter from a spoon and enjoying his binky. Throughout our lives, starting at the very beginning, we are bombarded with rules. Many of which don't exist. …

The Thing You Have To Stop & 5 Ways To Do It
With Adultitis running rampant, it's not a surprise that one of the major symptoms has become the new normal for many people. What am I speaking of? Being rushed. Do you ever feel rushed? Why? What makes you move so quickly? Whether you want to admit it or not, being rushed is one of the most unappealing traits that you can adopt. You're letting your outside circumstances rule your reality. You are being reactive, instead of proactive. You say "yes" far too often. It's time to stop. In the last six months, in my efforts to adjust to being a mommy, I have had many a temptation to rush. Hurry …

Late Night Laughs with Conan
Kim and I have been watching the inaugural episodes of the new Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. I think he's doing a great job, and have been enjoying the shows. I've always connected with Conan's goofy brand of humor. (I did this painting of him when I was in college.) One of my favorite jokes from last night came during the "In The Year 2000" segment Conan and sidekick Andy Richter resurrected from their old Late Night days. (The skit has been updated with fancy new costumes and the title, "In The Year 3000.")... In the year 3000, Jesus returns to Earth, but due to the bad economy, is …
