I’m back! Even as I am enjoying my new role as a mom, I’ve written previously how shocked I am to be a wife and mom in the burbs – and liking it! At the same time, I’m still a feminist. This Cox Communications commercial is making me sick. Has anyone else seen it? This …

She’s here and she’s perfect! The last 12 days have gone by in about three minutes. I’ve never lived in the moment so much in my entire life. My husband said to me once that if I could plan out every second of the rest of my life, I would. That’s 100% true. I hate …

This started out as a funny little joke, became a total riot and now I’m pretty sure that if I call him and he hasn’t left I’ll laugh so hard I’ll go into labor. My dad called me on Friday afternoon to tell me he was coming Sunday. He’s chronically late and an avid photographer. …

Omg. Did I seriously just go 11 days without blogging? They’re going to take the term away from me! For those of you unaware, we were out of our house all week last week due to a sewer pipe problem (no, nothing gross came in our house but it would have if we hadn’t stopped …

Finally, I catch a break. My favorite movie “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,”is on. I caught the finale on some TV station I’ve never heard of. I have to do something to stay awake while the Roto-Rooter guy does his thing outside. Ah, the joys of home ownership. Just when I promised I would never …

It finally happened, and I even told her she was going to be famous. So nice lady…first one to finally offer me a seat on the metro…here is your credit! Thanks! I didn’t even feel like I needed it and I would have gotten my own seat after a few stops, but I was just …

Tomorrow is moving day. Tonight I came home to the house 99% packed up by the movers. Fantastic! Well, almost. Items packed, although they knew we were staying one more night: My clothes for tomorrow Toothbrush and toothpaste Toilet paper Wet towels from the bathroom Bathroom soap Laundry bag Not packed: Shower cap Dental floss …

I can’t believe how little of the convention I’ve watched. We got rid of our cable last Friday in preparation for our move tomorrow. We had some cable news channels anyway for a few days but now they have disappeared. I thought NBC might have coverage but only America’s Got Talent is on right now. …

I was just thinking about that nice friend who warned me about starting a blog as I am in the last stages of preparation to birth, feed and take care of a baby (all without buying anything ahead of time of course!), prepare for maternity leave from my office, and set up a new house …

I’ve felt way too much pressure in starting this blog. What’s important enough for the first topic? Leon Wieseltier recently said something funny about blogging and the ridiculousness of journalists, or anyone else for that matter, thinking that our initial thoughts and unedited musings are suddenly brilliant because its now called something (“blogging”) rather than …
