Same spiel, different year
This makes me laugh. In a sad, ironic way.
It also makes me glad that I split when I did, because as demoralized as I was then (along with many of my fellow IT compatriots), I think I’d be suicidal by now.
Levy says they’re “going through a huge transition at the moment.” But it’s been eight […]

Oasis on the maternity floor
Tacy and CJ were both born in a hospital in New York. Both were born by c-section, which meant a four-night stay in a so-called semi-private room. For the first time since college - not counting Kyle - I had a roommate.Yes, private rooms were available - for an extra $500/night, which was […]

Another one rides the bus
While I greatly appreciate the indulgent comments - so indulgent that I will keep all of you in mind as potential future character witnesses, should the need arise - I can’t help but feel a little guilty about complaining. As Mrs. Chicky noted (and I’m paraphrasing), some women go to extreme lengths to ride […]

There’s much more to us than dipes and wipes
Lindsay at Suburban Turmoil wrote an excellent post yesterday about blogger outreach - and I use that term loosely - by marketing and PR firms. Likewise, Liz weighed in shortly after BlogHer on the same topic, along with several others.
As Kristen commented at It’s Not A Lecture, we talk to marketing and PR firms […]

Cross my heart ’cause it’s not funny…
…they’re going to stick a needle in my tummy.
My amnio is this afternoon.
I am of Advanced Maternal Age. I also have this compulsion to gather as much information as possible. So even though the results of the first trimester screen - also known as the nuchal translucency scan - were quite reassuring, I’m […]

Like Bill Cosby, we tell the child to take a lap
Does your house have a built-in racetrack?
I’m not talking about an actual jogging track - but if you do have one of those, I’m guessing you also have an indoor pool and weight room and a subzero filled with chardonnay and I’d like to be your best friend.
I’m talking about the circular path found in […]

Men, a piece of advice: Don’t advise pregnant women.
Unless you are HER doctor.
It doesn’t matter if you are a doctor yourself, or if your wife is a doctor. If that woman has not given you her insurance card, keep your mouth shut.
I had a co-worker - actually, we never even worked together; just on the same floor, but we inevitably ran into each […]

Herman Anne
Sunday evening, I received a call from my cousin: “I just want to know why you’re writing about orgasms on my birthday.”
Well, hello to you too, little missy.
She’s probably right that I should have feted her properly (sorry, I’m really digging that word lately) on her 19th birthday, instead of writing a shock-jock kind of […]

Try to remember to never forget
Dear Tacy,
I often wonder how much of these first five years you will remember. When I look back, I recall most clearly the unexpected hilarity, the joy found in what would normally be mundane. While there have been frightening and confusing times, they are few and far between, and I hope they don’t linger in […]

My kingdom for a patch cable
Excuse me while I get all geeky on you.
My first big project with my former employer in New York was an office build-out and relocation. The building was so far west that it was practically in New Jersey, and while the neighborhood may call itself Clinton now, if you have to detour around dozens of […]
