Top 10 embarrassing mp3 files in my collection
As tagged by my homegirl Nancy, with assists from Beth and Jess:
Since I am a complete loser who does not have an iPod, I will have to just own up to the ten most embarrassing mp3 files on my hard drive. For the record, I am not embarrassed by any mp3 file I “own” (and […]

Before and after
CJ this weekend
Sunken eyes, snotty nose, shitty diaper, and four teeth coming in. I can hardly believe she eked out a smile for me.
CJ today
Bright eyes, relatively dry nose, clean diaper, and full of cheer. Oh happy day, my girl has returned!

My PIMs
I’m fortunate to have made the acquaintance of several wonderful women in my short tenure as a blogger. I’m honored to be allowed to peep into their lives, and I’m even more honored when I receive actual, real-life acknowledgement from them - comments on my blog, new readers of my blog, responses to my comments […]

People who are unemployed should not go out for dinners like this
Last night, we went out for an anniversary dinner. It was a very pleasant surprise; my understanding of our dinner plans was that we would take the girls out for pizza.
My conversation with Tacy this morning went as follows:
J: Did you have fun with Auntie Kim last night?
T: Yes! Did you and Daddy have fun […]

Guest posting for Zube Girl today
My fellow Jersey-girl-turned-Colorado-ski-bunny (aka Zube Girl) is on vacation, and I’m honored to be a guest poster on her site today. It’s a post about profanity, so those with tender ears had best stay right here and read my sappy sentimentality instead.

Happy Anniversary
Dear Kyle,
You know it’s love when you are awakened by a baby crying at two o’clock in the morning, and you still have the presence of mind to wish each other a happy anniversary.
It’s been eight years, and I can honestly say that each one has been better than the last. Let’s look forward rather […]

Why I could never be on a reality TV show
The stuff I do when I think no one’s looking. Holy crap. Do you ever stop and think about what it is you are doing, and how it would look ON CAMERA? Or are you perfect? You never do anything weird, do you? I’m the ONLY ONE. Right.
Like just now. I’m making ice cream. I’ve […]

Fahrenheit 451
This week - September 24 through October 1 - is Banned Books Week. Thanks to Julie for tipping me off. I read the list of 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990-2000 and was frankly shocked by some of the books included in that list. For example:
#88 is Where’s Waldo - Yes, the cartoon book […]

There’s a lot to hate about me
I don’t fit neatly into many of the common categorizations, especially those that are ultra-polarizing. I’m a registered Republican. I don’t believe in God. I have worked outside the home since Tacy was nine weeks old. And some of my best friends are gay. I challenge anyone to find a label that fits me.
As both […]

Messy Mousie
I know babies are messy - I’ve had one before - but CJ is taking this messiness business entirely too far today.
She has shit her pants five times (so far). Not cute little rabbit turds, but major *asthma attacks. Thank you, Pampers Cruisers, for containing all of the asthma within the diaper so that I […]
