Sex(y shoes) and the city
So many heavy discussion topics lately. How about some fluff? Let’s talk shoes. And I don’t mean Crocs.
I come by my love of expensive shoes honestly. Since I can remember, my mother’s closet shelves held stacks of shoe boxes. Some were new, some were decades old, but all of them [...]

Coloradoversary #3
You’d think that after having a baby here in Colorado, I’d be as settled in as I possibly could be. But strangely enough, I’ve found myself thinking of New York almost as much as I did in those first weeks after moving out here.
Perhaps it’s because both of my girls were born there. [...]

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 [...]
