BlogHer Are we bloggers over-exposed online? hmmmm, now I'm wondering... -Erin

I am totally exposed on the 'Net and it scares my husband to death! I have managed to disclose my full name, my appearance and the city in which I live. You don’t have to search far to find out what I do for a living (or how many careers I have had)…

BlogHer Did YOU know the difference between Sweet Potatoes and Yams? You are totally eating sweet potatoes, btw. Kalyn Denny has recipes!

For a few years now, I've been a fan of sweet potatoes. In fact, nearly two years ago I made the bold statement that Sweet Potatoes are the New Potatoes, in a BlogHer post outlining why sweet potatoes are a better choice than white fleshed potatoes.

Okay, that's an incendiary headline, isn't it? I'm not one to enter the circular firing squad on Republicans (okay, so yes, I am, but not fresh-out-of-the-box governors who are serving as a bellweather for the Democratic agenda's chances in 2010), but

My partner has never spent a single Christmas away from her mother.  In the contest between making my eighty-something-year old mother-in-law hate me and doing Christmas in my own preferred, low-key way...well, it was no contest.
