Spice Up Summer with These Five Basics
Summer’s here in full swing as I sit here in the 76 degree weather of my Southern California home. I have two words (sounds?): Woo hoo!
High-Profile Infidelity: A Response to Maria Shriver’s Story
So, it just came out that my former governor had an illegitimate child with one of his household staffers over ten years ago. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have been married for 25 years. 25 YEARS!! Does that mean nothing to him?! It’s an understatement to say that it’s so pathetic he had to go and do something like this–something that he knew could ruin his life and change it irreversibly. Arnold, I thought you were one of the few good guys left in Hollywood/California’s political arena!
The Forgoing Facebook Experiment
Confession: I have 738 Facebook friends. In reality, I would only actually call up a handful of them to go to lunch with or to talk to while I’m making a long drive. I only talk to a couple dozen of them in person on a regular basis. And I sure as heck do not care that that one girl I met in college who friend requested me 5 minutes after we introduced ourselves is “going to work…then having a grilled chicken salad for lunch YUM! xoxo”. Maybe this seems rude, but I don’t expect them to care about what I’m doing every second of the day either!
Patricia Richardson: There’s Always Room for “Improvement”
Patricia Richardson was a very important mother throughout the ’90s. Not only did she help raise her three fictional sons on the sitcom “Home Improvement”, but she also had three children of her own to think of! Richardson played the do-it-all mom Jill Taylor on the popular TV series for eight seasons, but despite all the parenting practice on the show, the 60-year-old still admits that she’s “wired wrong for parenting”. All moms make mistakes, Patricia, don’t worry!
Young and in Love…But Not Having Sex
Teens and sex. Sex and teens. How do you relate the two in your mind? Many parents and adults “see nothing but a blur of bare midriffs. They think things are terrible and getting worse,” said Bill Albert, chief program officer for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
