Wherein I Link All Over My Own Blog
My essay is up over at Sekund. I chickened out and didn’t use that photo though. Instead, we chose a lovely image that had to be altered by my husband using his lame Paint program to blot out the huge crease on the front of my PAJAMA shirt, the MULTIPLE ketchup stains on Sam’s shirt, and oh, the fact that we are sitting in front of a bunch of CINDER blocks on our patio (have I mentioned I can’t wait until we move?). Poor man sat there and drew over the lines of those blocks for like an hour and a half - must be love.
Click on over there though. Some of it may sound a little familiar to a few of you because it did start out as a blog post. But there are other very cool essays, and it’s a free online magazine . . . and you should go check it out.

I also wanted to follow up and thank all of you who expressed interest in doing the Total Mom Bookclub. I think we could get a great group going over here, and I’m very excited about it. To be realistic though, I’m not going to start until after we move next month. Nothing lamer than hosting a book club when you haven’t done the reading. We’re piled in boxes and packing paper, so I just don’t think now is the time for me to get it going. A month from now though, I’m in. Details to follow.
I loved it. So good. And the picture is lovely.
Okay, I wrote a long comment on yesterdays post and notice it is missing. I don’t know what happened. I don’t have time right now to rewrite it so, for now I’ll just say - I love you too!
That’s an AWESOME article. Really very good. I’m impressed. Congrats! It must be cool to be “published” like that.
Congratulations! Nicely done. It’s cool to see your name “In lights”.
I love the photo, too. If that lawyer-thing doesn’t work out for your husband, he could have a career in photo beautification.
i can’t wait to go read it! yay!
i wanted let you know that today it’s nearly 80 degrees here in wester mass. and i was out with the kids at teh playground. suddenly, i realized i had no sunscreen and i thought to myself, “did you learn nothing from reading beth’s blog this week?”
I’ll click over there in a minute, but I just wanted to say that my kids are a bit pink, too. Spring is a killer as we forget how strong that sun is! Plus, we never plan on staying out all day…
I finally read your article! I LOVE it! I had read the original version on your blog and liked that too, but I like the changes and additions you made. And the website/zine is great! I’ll have to start reading it. It’s really well done. Congrats! Very, very nice article.
