One of my friends asked me, Where are the three positives? I need them! Had to give blogging a rest after those shootings and contain my anger that something can't be done about this? Sometimes too much freedom can be a curse.On to Adventures in Cancer. I spent many hours with a geneticist last week …

Boy howdy have I had enough of hair today. It's been falling down my shirt all day, making the inside look fur-lined. Tomorrow, it's Trina to the rescue! She's coming over with some shears of some sort to put me out of my itchy misery. I'll miss my short haircut, especially because I've gotten so …

People are asking questions. They started reading my book, Sass Mouth, and one word comes to their minds: "Disturbing." Thankfully, that's not the only word. They also say they enjoy the writing and that they want to give me a hug. (Thanks, Julia and Jon.) The thing is, they know me now. They know I …
Andrea Leoncavallo, amazing photographer, said she dove headfirst into her project without giving it a ton of thought. Hmm, that sounds familiar. For her project, "Women, Untitled," she will photograph 365 women and chronicle their stories on her site: http://www.lionhorseproductions.com/. Today, I got to be that woman. I suggested Flutter, a store at 3948 N. …
Jillian Starr is one talented momma alright. She delivers crazy hilarious readings on the TIME OUT stage. My favorite is her essay on the time she got whiplash by flipping her head around making her hair big. So she had to go to the prom in a neck brace. So she takes on writing her …
