I never fully realized the extent of all my quirks and hang-ups until I became a parent. For instance, I’ve always had a complicated relationship with food and eating, but only recently did I realize how pathetic and twisted it had become.
As I said in my previous post, I have the palate [...]
When I was giving Tabitha a hug the other morning, she pulled back from my embrace and stared deep into my eyes for a moment. With an expression that spoke of earnestness mixed with confusion, she raised her tiny finger to point to my mouth and said, “Mama, you’ve got old, dirty teeth.”
Even my daughter, [...]
Mercifully, the oppressive Florida summer weather has finally lifted revealing pleasantly cool conditions - perfect for us to tackle the task of unpacking all the boxes stashed in our garage since April’s move.
As Dick and I opened and sorted dusty boxes and their nearly forgotten contents, I was reminded of the same conversation we’ve had year after year for [...]
Raw Drip is one woman's raw, wry, fresh, and cheeky take on parenting, relationships, life, and other important stuff. I started writing Raw Drip because my friends are scattered all over the place and as a working mother with two toddlers I have no time to talk to them on the phone, meet them for a cup of coffee - or bathe regularly. Instead, I sit my stinky solo self down at my computer and write about all the things I used to talk with them about - and then I share it all with you - my fan base, my readership, my loyal drips.
Some of you have asked about the site name, Raw Drip, what does it mean? The name was inspired by the freshly perked cup of coffee I was drinking when I decided to start writing. I guess people see the word "raw" and just assume that the name has something to do with porn. It doesn't. I also don't write about: raw meat storage, raw food dieting, photos of people in the raw, or an obscure Japanese band named Raw Drip.
So dudes, if you've inadvertently stumbled upon my site while surfing for porn, my apologies. Unfortunately for you, you've landed in a place that's all chick-chat, with occasional penis references thrown in just for fun. At Raw Drip, the truth is harsh. But if you're man enough to handle it, keep reading. If not, move it along...
There. Are we all clear now? No porn here.
Happy Reading!
