milestone birthday
I have a milestone birthday this week. I am turning 30. This is the first birthday where I feel the age. All the other birthdays came and went without much notice. But this year, I can't help but notice. This marks a decade of my life that has come and gone. And the best decade,... Continue Reading →
we’re home
I just love Saturdays around the house. I have turned into a real homebody. This is my solace and my serenity. Brandon loves it too. After being out and about, he starts to fuss but the minute we walk in the door and I turn off the alarm, he starts smiling and kicking. This place exists... Continue Reading →
accept what we deserve
Today we were quarantined inside the house. Brandon has pink eye (and an ear infection, and four erupting teeth). The poor baby has had better days. We took it easy and watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower. In it, Paul Rudd tells his student, "we accept the love we think we deserve." (I don't... Continue Reading →
Oh deer
Last night, when I returned home from work, I mindlessly let Tucker into the backyard as I always do. I unwrapped Brandon from all his winter gear and went about some quick chores. All the while, Tucker barked shrilly. This was not like him. "What?" I asked impatiently as I opened the backdoor. Then, I... Continue Reading →

college-educated dish washers by choice
Remember that snarky, bitchy Holly that was always offending people on here? Well I'm back. I'm ready to offend some people. I've finally gotten a little energy back. For the first time in a long time. Ever since Brandon was born I've been rundown and tired. I am not exercising or eating well. I am... Continue Reading →
Baby’s First Christmas
What kind of mom am I that I haven't already posted pictures of Baby's First Christmas? Don't answer that question. It's rhetorical. There is no right answer - only wrongs. He liked playing with his little cousin, Mila. She is ten weeks younger than him. He really loved trying to rip open the presents before... Continue Reading →
You’ve Got Spooks
Tonight, I was playing with Brandon on the floor when Steve suggested a movie. "How about You've Got Mail?" he asked. "You love that movie.""Sure," I replied because I really do love that movie.While Steve searched through our DVD collection to find it, he started naming off other options instead. "Or Family Stone or (500)... Continue Reading →

One of the benefits of working with a bunch of smart IT people is that they're rubbing off on me. After all this time, I've finally learned how to correctly use a scanner. Which means I am finally able to post a blog that I've wanted to for months now:Here is a picture of me... Continue Reading →
