San Antonio, Texas
I'll be in San Antonio the evenings of Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1. Anyone want to meet up one of those nights? With or without kids? 6:30 or 7-ish?

Who is Moxie?
- Not an expert, just a mom. I help people troubleshoot their parenting problems.
This is my philosophy.
If I haven't addressed your topic yet, send me an email.
New questions post M-F at 6 am (EST), usually, with a book review up on Friday night.
Ask me
- Email me to ask a question. If you don't want me to use your name or link to your blog, let me know. Otherwise, I'll use your first name when I post your question (but not your email). If you want your question to remain completely private, please make sure you label it "private"!

I'm listening to
Jorge Ben: Brazilian Hits & Funky Classics
This whole album full of longing and sex, saudade and soccer, is the soundtrack of my awakening.Josh Turner: Your Man
Can't get enough of my cowboy singer.
Moxie's reading
Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre
How did I manage to not read this book in college? It's blowing me away right now. Jane! Mr. Rochester!Max Beerbohm: Zuleika Dobson (Modern Library Paperbacks)
Very witty, but the references to Oxford in 1911 are going straight over my head...
The 6-year-old's reading
Donald J. Sobol: Encyclopedia Brown Box Set
He's read almost every Encyclopedia Brown book every written, I think. We'll have to move on to The Great Brain next.Ian Graham: The Best Book of Spaceships (The Best Book of)
He pours over this book, and will soon have all the types of spaceships memorized, I'm sure.

Ah, the obsession.Sandra Boynton: Pajama Time!
Now all around the room in one big line, wearing our pajamas and looking so fine!

Oohhh, so jealous that I am not in that area!

Here's hoping you are in Phoenix soon!!!

I would love to but I am in DC! Boo.

I'm in Austin and am seriously considering driving down just to hang out with you, Moxie!
Posted by: Melissa | May 14, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Melissa, if I had any day time free I'd suggest the Schlitterbahn, which I've always wanted to go to.
Posted by: Moxie | May 14, 2008 at 11:07 AM
I'm in Austin and I wish I had the free time to drive down to San Antonio. Schlitterbahn IS really fun if you want to make the 30 minute drive. San Antonio has a great zoo/aquarium, Six Flags, Sea World and of course, the Riverwalk. Have some Tex-Mex and a margarita and enjoy your time in Texas!

If you're ever in the Milan Italy area, I'll show you around.
Posted by: paola | May 14, 2008 at 01:22 PM
Ah, yes, the Schlitterbahn. I think the last time I was by there it was undergoing renovations of some sort. I know...you're thinking, "A BETTER Schlitterbahn? With maybe even more than one waterslide?"
I'm for the innertubing on the Guadalupe, myself, although the last time I did that I got the fiercest of sunburns.
If I were back home, Moxie, we'd have a helluva time.

Wisconsin! You're coming here next, right?
(Yeah, I wish.)
Anyway, I would like to go to San Antonio just to get together. I wish could come too.
Cheese or beer, anyone?:)
Posted by: Marta | May 14, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Another Austinite - I say you come up here!
Posted by: Suzanne | May 14, 2008 at 02:17 PM
Dang, i am in DC, too. So that's two of us so far -- i vote your next trip bring you here. We're just a short Acela ride away! And we have the world's greatest free museums!
Posted by: Madelyn | May 14, 2008 at 02:43 PM
I think Moxie should come down to DC for the meet up we're doing at the Zoo on May 24th!! Come on Moxie!

I'm in Houston... but perhaps I could drive to SA for a girls' evening! My husband owes me one, right?
Posted by: Amy | May 14, 2008 at 03:11 PM
I am in San Antonio! It is a great place and I'd be happy to show you around. E-mail me!
Posted by: Brooke | May 14, 2008 at 03:58 PM
I'm in San Antonio too and would love to meet up! Email me and maybe you, Brooke and I can get together.
Posted by: Colleen | May 14, 2008 at 04:55 PM
I live in Austin and I wish you were coming here! Definitely go eat at Mi Tierra--super yummy, traditional, very-bad-for-you Tex Mex. But killer margaritas and "homemade" tortillas. Yum! Love it.

OMG. I live in Salt Lake City but I'm from San Antonio and if I had a better excuse, I would so go meet up with you!

this'll teach me to ask you when the eff you're coming to texas before i catch up on older posts. someone needs to slap me around with a large trout.
i'm so, so, so in, but i'll be driving from austin (an hour, more or less), so i'll need to engage in some back-channel coordination with you.
