Sure I just put the milk in the cupboard and the backpack in the fridge, and sometimes I pull out with the kids still standing in the garage, but that’s normal, right? Being 46, single-parenting teens, working full-time plus, and being on my never-ending quest for my Samantha Stevens gets a bit distracting…even in this paradise known as Sacramento.
I’m a tiny middle-management cog in a giant wheel inside an international corporation. The left and right side of my brain are constantly struggling for control–the voices aren’t so bad once you get used to them.
I started blogging as a therapeutic exercise when I went through a partnership dissolution. My buddy Chris at www.redhogdiary.com and I started blogging together, and here we are 19 months later, still plugging away.
19 months–hello, hello, is this thing on? 
Right now, I’m up to about 400 per day. It took a big leap thanks to Cap’n Dyke at lesbianpiratequeen.wordpress.com linking to me.
My blog does not have an income. I’m advertising-free on purpose.
Lesbians, single-parents, parents of adopted children, adopted multi-racial families, crazy and/or warped people, really hot women who want to date me, people who want to give me money.
The writing, maybe an hour - depending on what’s buzzing around in my head and whether I’ve had a glass of wine or not. The reading of those on my blog roll, maybe another hour. Hey, I don’t have a girlfriend, so I have like six hours a day I split between sleep and blogging.
I don’t like to tell anyone to do anything–oh, wait, yes I do. People should subscribe to me because I’m real and cute…remember, I’m looking for a girlfriend.
My advice to new bloggers would be to find your voice. Write about what you know in your own particular style. It’s easy to try and replicate success (Dooce, for example–who has a bazillion imitators), but authentic will win every time over trying to be someone you aren’t. Oh, and please - locate spell check and grammar check - I can’t tell you how many people I know won’t read a blog when the blogger can’t put together a coherent sentence (unless you are a Haiku poet–then, you get some latitude).

Gotta have my daily Hahn at Home fix.
This girl not only rocks, she rolls and dreams and even wands at times.
September 14th, 2007 - 12:30 am
Hahn is daily required reading for me. Will appeal to nearly anyone.
September 14th, 2007 - 9:19 am
I’m relatively new to Hahn at Home, but she’s one of the first two blogs I visit each day now.
She’s got a good handle on Japanese appliances, too…
September 14th, 2007 - 2:37 pm
She definitely has a way with words. I never read blogs regularly before being steered her way.
And I just don’t get how she can’t squeeze a girlfriend into those six hours that are shared between sleep and blogging.

Lori may never reach the status of Huffington Post or Perez Hilton, but she’s definitely got a small fanbase who loyally check up on her writings every single day. She is a universal woman—everyone can take something out of her writings.
September 29th, 2007 - 3:08 pm
She mentioned me and so now I have to visit her. Damn you Blog Interviewer! I voted too, it’s in the constitution.
September 29th, 2007 - 7:15 pm
Damning of Blog Interviewer will be punishable by deducting votes!

Mike is the finest man who ever lived and this site is my world. At least this month. Vote for me Mike!
September 29th, 2007 - 11:41 pm
Haha…what do you all think of the new site layout?
September 30th, 2007 - 8:16 am
Crisp and clean and ad heavy but still magical.
September 30th, 2007 - 11:40 am
Thanks…the ads are necessary, especially since we’re giving away $550 in prizes.
Thanks for the feedback.
October 1st, 2007 - 9:22 am
Hey, hey, take it somewhere else, huh? Not Mike, of course, the magical, wonderful Mike.
October 18th, 2007 - 11:46 am
Hahn at Home is one of the funniest blogs around!
October 19th, 2007 - 6:04 am
It be Me Pleasure in Deed t’have this sensible, funny woman on Me Ship. Read her. It’s an Order.
October 19th, 2007 - 10:34 am
Get a fucking job and/or iron my shirt bitch! You way overuse the word blog, making it sound stupid and gay.
October 19th, 2007 - 2:00 pm
Would love to, Rob, thanks so much. Tried to get a job as a hooker, but your mother had the only street corner in town. Tried to iron your shirt, but realized all that starch wasn’t going to work with your hairy back.
Blog, blog, blog, blog, blog. And, it is gay, silly boy. The stupid part, I was counting on you for.
October 19th, 2007 - 4:47 pm
I think Rob needs a drink! Hey, Margo Moon, where’s that tequila of yours? Now, now. I didn’t mean to douse him and set him aflame.
We adore blogging lesbians from Sacramento. Hell, we just adore blogging lesbians.
October 19th, 2007 - 8:09 pm
Lori, you bloggity queer girl, you!
Didn’t know you were still in the geldin’ business. Guess once you learn a trade, it pays to keep proficient. Lovely work, podna.
Joyce, I mean Triple Secs, remember keep your menfolk away from Lori girl until they have a chance to pass on the family name.
October 24th, 2007 - 7:37 pm
Hahn owes me money. I’m hoping a vote for Hahn will get my money back.
October 25th, 2007 - 2:04 pm
AAL - I gotcher money right here.
October 26th, 2007 - 12:54 am
I’m just here cause someone said there was free beer and peanuts! So? Where are they?
October 26th, 2007 - 3:26 pm
Hi there,
Very cool
October 26th, 2007 - 3:38 pm
Nina -
Yeah, um, Nina, sorry, the party was the night before…no more peanuts, but I do have some beer if you want to swing by.
Hi Kathy, thanks for stopping.
October 26th, 2007 - 8:40 pm
I love your blog! I cant believe I found it. Im one of those idiots from Iowa……….gotta love it
October 26th, 2007 - 10:26 pm
I’m voting for you Ms. Hahn!
October 26th, 2007 - 10:28 pm
Thank you Dale you passionate fellow. Thank you. Thank you! The children at the group home thank you. They want a laser pen.
October 26th, 2007 - 10:44 pm
Apparently Sally has a stake in this, Dale, but I thank you too! Oodles.
October 28th, 2007 - 1:47 pm
I filled out Lori’s dating application. I made it through several interviews and although well qualified in several categories, we both decided a long term career position would not be feasible. However, we have beome collaborative consultants which works well for us. She is a damn fine woman and friend and I am blessed to have her in my life. Oh yeah and she is the best writer I know and I do know a few!
Good luck Hahny!

The Cap’n told me to read you. The Cap’n was right!

We’re talking about her blog here, right? Try to leave her sex life out of it. I mean, we could all talk about her sex life but we’re trying to get votes for charity, you know, the children and all.
October 29th, 2007 - 9:23 am
Shorty - Aww..thanks!
StarDragon - The Cap’n is always right! And, even if she should ever be wrong, she’s always right. Just don’t forget to pay your tribute if you go out pillaging and plundering without her.
Ask - And, what makes you think I have a sex life anyway! That’s the scary part.
October 29th, 2007 - 10:01 am
The Cap’n is always the Cap’n!
October 31st, 2007 - 1:29 pm
Thanks everyone, let’s keep up the momentum! YAHOO!
October 31st, 2007 - 11:59 pm
Thanks everyone for all of your support! You are the best.
November 1st, 2007 - 6:03 am
I think I fall into the “warped” category of readers. But I like this blog very much. Cheers and I hope you win!
November 1st, 2007 - 12:14 pm
Congrats on the win, Lori!! And I LOVED your dialogue with “Rob” up there.. way to put him in his place! LOL
November 1st, 2007 - 12:18 pm
Congratulations, Lori girl! We’re plannin’ a heckuva barn dance to celebrate this. You like fiddle music, right?
November 1st, 2007 - 1:24 pm
Thanks to everyone who voted, voted, and voted again, and who pimped me out on their blog, called and text messaged their friends and family to help me win the #3 prize for the Sacramento Children’s Receiving Home.
Special thanks to Margo Moon, The Strappin Cap’n, Ask a Lesbian, Passion of the Dale, Wishful Writer, Viv, cc, and everyone else who went above and beyond in the name of holiday kindness.
Now, go put your voting fingers away and relax!
Thanks, Lori
