My friend Terrell came over last night for dinner so we could give her the scoop on our house and dog, for she will be taking care of both when we’re on vacation this weekend. Terrell is a relatively laid back person, so I’m not sure why I felt the need to preface everything with, [...]

I am happy to report that I did not puke on the boat on Saturday. And better yet, our friends’ wedding was absolutely beautiful, couldn’t have happened on a more perfect day.

Don’t rock the boat

Usually when I’m feeling really bad about a personal situation, it’s in my nature to recoil a bit, but for some reason I [...]

Let me please breakdown

I always knew that pregnancy would intensify and magnify my emotions, but hoo boy, I didn’t expect for it to turn me into a stark, raving crazy person. The last few days have been … challenging. From a severe lack of sleep, thanks to my bladder and a dog suffering from a manic case of [...]

Back when Roth and I were planning our wedding, one of the more fun tasks we got to partake in was creating a registry. We never did the actual in-store scanner gun jaunt, as I managed to set up three registries all online. But even that was a lot of fun, especially when items were [...]

Holy crap, I am 20 weeks pregnant. Which means, I AM HALFWAY THERE! And thusly, here is a celebratory bare belly shot properly demonstrating my ever-expanding girth so far. (So I’ve decided to do belly shots every fifth week, just ‘cuz.) The half-dozen or so (do I really need THAT many books on the subject?) [...]

Well, maybe I don’t use my exclamation points as haphazardly as you do.

Today was many shades of awesome, and thus, deserving of a list rife with superfluous and gratuitous exclamations points, which as a rule, normally I don’t condone, because I’m more prone to doom and gloom, but I’m feeling very glass-half-full today, so behold! A list of extraordinarily awesome things! My company revised its maternity leave [...]

Last night, after running into a male hipster co-worker of mine at the movies. Me: Yeah, I don’t know him that well. I don’t think I’ve ever talked to him before.Him: Did you notice he was wearing 30 x 30 jeans?Me: Huh, you saw the tag, too?Him: Yeah.Me: I’ve never in my life been that [...]

Well. We all knew THIS was inevitable, didn’t we. (Cradle courtesy Roth’s parents, who shipped it from California. It was Roth’s cradle when he was a baby … 30 years ago! Talk about full-circle recycling. AWESOME.)
