While, technically, we didn’t leave New York City behind (we were in Northern NJ after all) it still feels like the city and I have parted ways once again.
The first time Dick and I lived in NYC we were there from January ‘99 to August ’02 B.C. (Before Children). As a young single couple, we embraced our [...]
At #4 on my list of 5 things I’ve learned since becoming a parent is what I like to sum-up as “The Superdad Double Standard”. Allow me to explain…
Society scrutinizes women’s mothering skills through a high-powered microscope but dad’s are viewed through rose-colored, Vaseline-coated designer lenses
In a sandwich shop with Dick and the children several months ago two 60-something ladies approached as we were [...]
Absent-minded, apathetic, distracted, diverted, heedless, oblivious, preoccupied, removed, scatterbrained, and unconscious. These are just a few of the synonyms I find for “unobservant”. Sadly, many of these synonyms describe my husband who is, quite possibly, the world’s most unobservant man.
If I walked into a room stark naked wearing a rainbow clown ‘fro he MIGHT notice something different about [...]
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!
