Discussions

Since Maggie came along I don't have nearly as much time to talk to my mother (or anyone else, for that matter) as I once did. I rang her this morning to ask if she was having trouble sending me emails (apparently some people are) and she excitedly jumped right into conversation. Unfortunately, she and I now have different definitions of what makes interesting conversations. By a lot. While I'd be perfectly happy to chat with her about the loss of Wendy Wasserstein, Coretta Scott King, and Betty Freidan, Mom wanted to talk about her cat's bloody stool and the pluses and minuses of paying for an online subscription to Barron's. Plenty of my life is taken up with that kind of stuff already. Let's talk about something that takes place in the rest of the world!

I need to get out of the house more.

FYI, I've created the following RSS feeds and added them to my Friends page.

diaprsdeadlines Diapers to Deadlines -- "Support, advice, and encouragement for professional writers juggling a career and parenthood"

mother_shock Mother Shock, Andrea Buchanan (author of the book of the same title)'s blog

Likely there will be more in the coming weeks
