"Sometimes I get so tired of writing and reading about all things motherhood that I like to go hide in some fun blogs that have little or nothing to do with carpools, permission slips and puberty. Here are three of my favorites: The Haiku Diaries http://thehaikudiaries.wordpress.com/. &amp;quot;Two friends -- one in the city and one in the country -- haiku about life.&amp;quot; Writers Jenna Schnuer and Rachel Dickinson offers up haikus about all sorts of every day things, including pet cats, cowboy boots and mangoes. Even the comments are in haiku. It&amp;#039;s like Twitter for the linguistically dexterous. How Not to Act Old http://hownottoactold.wordpress.com/ Author Pamela Redmon Satran&amp;#039;s one-month-old blog about, well, how not to act old, is fast becoming an Internet sensation. Featured in the LA Times and The Huffington Post, Satran&amp;#039;s amusing blog offers valuable advice to those of us on the other side of, ahem, 30, such as: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t Admit You&amp;#039;re Befuddled by Twitter, TiVo, Texting - Most of Technology&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Avoid Avoiding Babies.&amp;quot; Not Salmon http://notsalmon.com/ Author Karen Salmansohn&amp;#039;s down-to-earth blog offers &amp;quot;self help for people who wouldn&amp;#039;t be caught dead reading self help.&amp;quot; The author, most recently of the delightful The Bounce Back Book, doles out ways to make your life better in clever blog bites that are anything but touchy-feely. Her insights include: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s easier to complain about a rich man than to complain about a poor man&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Bring a sense of humor wherever you go.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
