Christmas Sucks

Now, before you condemn me to a life in H-E-double toothpicks for being blastphemous, let me explain.  Christmas has lost it’s meaning somewhere between the Santa Pez dispensers and the nativity scene made in the likeness of The Simpsons.  These days it’s all about the shopping madness, the travel stress, and the budget breaking gifts.  In fact, if you’re not paying off your gift come the Forth of July, or buying it in three easy payments, it not even considered a gift.   Somewhere down the line, we’ve lost the true meaning of the holidays…peace on Earth, good will towards man, and that great Bruce Springsteen version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”  I suggest we try to return to the days of yesteryear when gifts were personal and families actually wanted to be together.  When parents didn’t have to commit a felony to get their kid a Wii console, and body parts weren’t Xeroxed at office parties.  Once we achieve those goals, maybe then we can have a truly merry Christmas.  Until then, it’s just a giant slew of traffic, shopping, paying, wrapping, mailing, cleaning, cooking, fighting, and entertaining until the big day arrives.

Breastfeeding Sucks

I just got a box from my publisher which contained 20 copies of my latest book, Breastfeeding Sucks, as they say, hot off the press!  I love the cover photo and there are no obvious typos on the front or back!  I’m thrilled!  If anyone’s struggling with breastfeeding issues, I hope you pick up a copy.  I’m quite proud of the book, and truly believe than it’ll provide lots of advice, much needed compassion, and plenty of laughs.  I’ll put the intro for you to read in the above page entitled, “baby books”.  Enjoy!
