I should crochet an utterly sincere, non-ironic tea cozy in protest

Edit: I don’t want to be an asshole. I want to be clear that I am not criticizing the article or the author or the artists profiled. I’m bitching about scenesters.
More of the c-word today.
So I haven’t been picking up the City Paper lately, but today something told me to look at the newstand this […]

He gets the lazy from me

So tell me. Wouldn’t you think that, by putting your toddler into a toddler bed — one that is easily accessible by ground, something about two feet high, if that — wouldn’t you think your toddler would be climbing out of it all night long? You would. You would totally think that.
And you would be […]

What’s your favorite babywearing device?

This one is addressed to the ‘rents in the crowd:
I’m looking to possibly get a new sling or pouch or wrap for when the new baby comes in May, and I’m soliciting opinions. What’s your number-one all-time desert-island fave?
Feel free to post links in the comments, too. I’m hungry for that sort of thing.
Actually, I’m […]

Supafine Admin: Comments Are Whack. *edited*

updated: I think I have fixed it. 
Dunno why, but I have my suspicions. (Apparently it’s worse if you’re using Safari, so bear that in mind. I also think my lingering cocomment script is wreaking havoc.)
If the comments aren’t working for you, you can instead e-mail me at marybeth at supamb dot com.
Or you know what? […]

Twenty six weeks pregnant and other tales

It’s getting quite difficult to wear regular people shirts. They just don’t make Lycra strong enough to withstand this belly.
So. I’m, what, six and a half months along. Things are really starting to get uncomfortable. Whereas being five months pregnant was The Awesome, six point five months is The Suck. My belly is itchy, my […]

I don’t even really like flip-flops

A new day has dawned Chez Supafine, and I have scrubbed off yesterday’s moodiness. Me and my smeary raccoon eyes are ready for the future.
Also: Whoever can motivate me to put down the laptop and sweep the kitchen floor wins a prize.
What. Else. Honestly, I just feel the urge to be writing something because I […]

Paint it black

I am wearing eyeliner today. That’s a pretty good indicator that I feel like shit, because I seldom wear makeup (and you can tell, because it’s always inexpertly applied. I didn’t read enough Seventeen as a girl).
I’m going to go ahead and postulate that the reason I feel so crappy is because I had a […]

More nesting: The kids’ room

Iain and I worked very hard this weekend, painting and sewing and building and arranging. This is the room Owen will share with his new little brother (T minus … uh *counting* … about three months OMFG).
We went a little Amish on this place, opting to make things ourselves when we could. One exception […]

My Valentine’s Day present

Refinished rocking chair, age 27
Other people exchange jewelry, flowers, candy, stuffed teddy bears, negligee. I feel sorry for them.
My husband took apart, sanded, refinished, and put back together the rocking chair my own mother rocked me in when I was a baby. He left in some of the marks I made in the arms of […]

OMG! WEATHER! CUE PANIC!

I promise I will not be an uppity Midwestern snob about this “Valentine’s Day Ice Storm.” This is me zipping my lips of all weather-related snark: zzzzzzzip.
So! That said, here are some weather-related things I’ve liked so far today:
• Kottke.org: “Right now, “Unknown Precipitation” is falling from the sky in NYC …”
• the Maryland Weather […]
