Prospecting for Save the Date reminders to send to Robespierre's out of town friends six months before his Bar Mitzvah. See Part I here.We'd need only about a dozen or maybe 17 or, who knows, 20? save the date notices, just for guests we hope will travel to Robey's Bar Mitzvah; everyone else will already be in town. In a rare moment of clarity I recognized that we weren't limited to a plain reminder card; I could send something more imaginative at cost from FeeFiFoto. First I thought I'd... Read Full Story
The assignment was to compose your own version of The Declaration of Independence, without reading the original first.
Here's what Cupcake produced, with, I swear, no help from me or anyone else:We the citizens of the United States of America hereby declare independence against England. We believe that monarchy is a poor form of government and we should live in a democracy. We will vote and make laws together. We will decide our taxes fairly. We will rule all in one place, not 3000 miles aw... Read Full Story

Navigating BlogHer has just gotten easier.
A few weeks ago I emailed BlogHer to ask for an easy way to locate other BlogHer bloggers, since my scattered brain can't seem to cope with a Chinese-menu-sized list of blogs and whenever I explore I end up choosing sites with cool names that haven't been updated since April because apparently they used up all their creativity on cool names and have nothing left to devote to actual writing and then I get frustrated and disgusted and give up and go ...
