Reality bites. But does it have to?

You know when you stumble across a blog post that completely rocks your world?  & it’s sweet because the owner of said blog probably doesn’t even comprehend the magnitude at which she may or may not have just changed your life.  By a few paragraphs, a few thoughts, & penning it all down on the [...]

What we do matters.

For four days, I frolicked throughout New York City with over 2,000 strangers.  I took classes, drank martinis, participated in my first ever 5K, & wore shoes that absolutely killed my feet: good thing they are precious, right? I roomed with three amazing women – Jill, Mae, & Mandy.  & I DIDN’T GET MURDERED IN [...]

I had to stop writing this post four times because I kept spontaneously combusting from excitement.

I’m about to get really annoying. Like…the most annoying I’ve ever been in my entire life, dwarfing that period of blogging where I DIDN’T SAY NO TO ANY GIVEAWAY & then had my mental & emotional breakdown.  What?  Dudes, I am so well-aware of how obnoxious I was. At least you could escape by clicking [...]

You’re pretty.

I really do have the sweetest husband alive. Last night, we crawled into bed.  I wore a grungy old ADPi tshirt from college, a pair of his boxers, with zit cream & lime-green rollers in my hair (HEY, DON’T JUDGE MY NOD TO 1950, OKAY?!) & he leaned over to kiss me.  “Babe,” he said.  [...]

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeeeeeeee…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! The big 2-7. & that’s me to the left, fresh out of The Momma’s oven on June 2, 1983. I have lived over a quarter of a century.  I’m closer to 30 than I am to college & almost 10 [...]

A place of my own.

If you’re a Facebook buddy, then you know the angst that has been my own workspace.  I’ve spent the past two years blogging from a wee ladder desk & about a month ago, as I was balancing my journal, planner, tea, Mac, & iPod, Nate said, “Babe, I think we need to get you a [...]

A Bliggity Blog about Blogging.

Well, I think the most important question came from Nish of The Outdoor Wife, who asked, “WHY and HOW are you so smokin’ hot?!” & to that, I like to say Daddy’s money &  The Momma’s good looks.  I take no credit for it. I had never really thought of doing a blog about…well, blogging. [...]

Cat, get out of the damn bag! Meow!

So a lot of new, VERY exciting, VERY fun, VERY cool things have been happening lately.   Because of the blog.  Because of YOU.   & we’re so happy & I hope you’ll be happy for me/us/everything. & after a lot of talking, thinking, & beer-drinking, the husband & I have come to a conclusion… [...]

A day in the life.

To give hope to those new working moms – when I wrote this, I was only a few days into it & SO OVERWHELMED.  I thought we would NEVER survive that grueling schedule.  When people told me it would get better, I didn’t believe them.  So let me eat my words, be cliche, & tell [...]

The story of us.

In case you missed this over at Look at the Birds yesterday!  (she’s one of my favorites on my reader, so she should be on yours too!) I give you a courtship with morning breath ______________________________ I met Nate in January 2002 in a Feminist Rhetoric Class. Yeah.  You read that correctly. But it was [...]
