Sold As Is: No Returns or Exchanges on This Post.

IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. How old do I have to be to trade all of my teeth in for some fakes? Although my Grandmother used to thoroughly freak me out (and make me a bit jealous of her mysterious talents) when she would pop her teeth in and out to impress us grandkids, this stuff […]

It’s Almost Like Tweets, Except it’s a Blog.

Saturdays are made for random, right? First of all, in case you missed my tweet/facebook status, the plaid epidemic that I informed you of earlier this month is getting worse: Yes, it’s true: The Plaidemic has filled in every crack and reached the very scivvies of our society. (Thanks, Tim, for adding “Plaidemic” to my […]

Just Another Typical Bathroom Visit.

After Ali goes to bed at night, Chris and I often get deep into conversations, and we tend to follow each other around the house talking while doing whatever we’re doing. And sometimes, in the middle of these conversations, I interrupt and say, “I’d like to go pee, and do it without talking. I’ll be […]

Hello, I’m Applying for a Day Off.

I am NOT blogging today. Can you tell? I spent half of yesterday on the couch, or in other general misery, and the other half working, because during-naptime-work didn’t go away just because I didn’t feel good. Here’s hoping that today is better, but we’ll see. What’s wrong with me? Well, the main ailment is […]

Eleven Adventures, Beach Style.

1. Pool Adventures: Ali got another poolside lunch. And, since she’s such a slow eater, she had plenty of time to get dry.. And then, a mysterious and quite gushing amount of liquid dripped down under her chair (to join the abandoned fry): …which reminds me…swim diapers ONLY hold in solids. Lovely thought, huh? Chris […]

28 Things That I Learned At Blogher

28. If you are sharing a hotel room with multiple roommates and all roommates are handing out different company’s swag, don’t think you accidentally entered a mini-warehouse instead of your hotel room upon arrival. 27. However, those same roommates may make fun of you if you talk in your sleep. 26. Especially if you talk […]

What Happens When I’m In Charge.

My husband and I get along amazingly – we seriously rarely argue or disagree. (Which is one of the reasons that I Missed him so badly while I was gone.) However, we approach a lot of things very differently. Especially vacation planning. But because I’m lazy I like to keep things flowing smoothly, I always […]

What Goes Down, Must Come Up.

I’m sitting here at the airport, waiting to board. Which means, that by getting out my laptop and starting this post, a boarding call should be like. . .. NOW. I’m absolutely DYING for a fountain coke, but talked myself out of getting one for fear of deja vu from the flight here in which […]

Relapse

When I was a little girl, my parents often let me go spend the night with friends. You know, because it’s what little girls did. You stayed up way past the point that you should have, played house, barbies, pretended to marry your friend’s little brother, and promised to be best friends forever and made […]

In Which I Recognized Four People

To mitigate my Mommy Guilt of LEAVING MY CHILD FOR THREE DAYS, Ali and I cuddled and talked a lot yesterday morning. On the way to my Mom and Dad’s house (which is where she will stay until Chris gets off of work tonight), we were discussing all of the things we’ve done this week […]
