Week one of my new job completed. I am healthier and happier already. I come home at lunch and make myself something hot to eat on the chilly fall days. I have started a book and a puzzle again. I am not completely stressed out and frustrated. I get to sleep in later and spend... Continue Reading →
There is a book and a movie called "Thinner" by Stephen King. In it, an obese man is cursed by a gypsy and loses three pounds a day, regardless of what he eats. At first, he thinks it's great, until he begins to waste away. I have the opposite problem - I gain three pounds... Continue Reading →
Is is pathetic to get a little sad about a kids' clothing store closing?Because OshKosh is closing.And I'm a little sad.They have great clothes - non-babyish clothes for babies. They have sales and coupons you can use together to make you think you're getting a great deal when you're actually just paying normal prices for... Continue Reading →
It's official - I am the old mom. I will be thirty before my son turns one. This really hit me last month when I hired a staff member who also has a new baby...she's ten years younger than me. Being older when having children isn't all bad - we're more fiscally responsible and stable... Continue Reading →
It's official. We are a family with home videos. I know those families get a lot of shit, but back off. My child will be able to see what he acted like when he was a baby. And I'm sure he's going to love seeing himself on the tv, seeing how much he loves himself... Continue Reading →

I thought it closed down once myspace and Facebook took over people rambling on about themselves. But this morning, I received a nice surprise in my... Continue Reading →
I was driving home from work, sweating in my car when something caught my eye. A '98 Saturn SC1. A black one. Just like the one I used to have. There aren't many of those on the road anymore, so I immediately waxed nostalgic about my old one. This one was identical. Except for the... Continue Reading →
I never understood why people couldn't stand going to the dentist. I actually liked going to the dentist - that clean teeth feeling is hard to beat. I didn't have a cavity until adulthood and always was just there for routine cleanings. Until yesterday. Yesterday the dentist cut my gums off of my two bottom... Continue Reading →
Steve watched Brandon for a few hours on Saturday while I went into work to complete my quarterly reports. It felt good being back at work, even though no one was there to chat with. I can't believe I've missed work. I thought I'd be like Ron Livingston on Office Space for these three months,... Continue Reading →
Anytime Brandon leaves the house, he's wearing a onesie. And why, I thought to myself while snapping today's on, don't adults? Personally, I could handle never seeing a man's hairy plumber's crack or a young woman's hot pink thong or a slightly chubby girl's muffin top between her low rise jeans and too-tight tank top....
