Gold medal in whatever!

I can tell I’m rounding the corner into the second trimester because I’m having fewer Nausea Days and far more Eat My Weight In Carbohydrates days. It’s great to be back in fresh fruits and a reasonable amount of vegetables, though. And I will never complain that my sense of smell is receding to normal, […]

Excuses, updates, whatever

I think about writing, I really do, but when I sit down to do it (after my husband comes home, so I can use his laptop) (because mine is still broken) it just turns into two paragraphs about what I’m seeing in front of me at that very second.
For example, today’s post is going to […]

Smooches, Canada

Watching the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics with all my siblings and assorted sig others and trying not to cry at the commercials because I am PREGNANT, OKAY, and that’s what we do, we cry at Olympics commercials with little kids in them.
My brother is pushing for Inglorius Basterds or however the hell you […]

Snow, Superbowl, sleeping arrangements

Lookit that! One week into Nablopomo: February, and I borked a day. Ah, well, my apologies. I was so busy cowering under 20”-plus inches of snowfall I plumb forgot to post.
But I’m posting now. I just pulled a pan of brownies out of the oven and uploaded a few snow shots to Flickr; Mackie is […]

Allergy Face and Fat Lip Boy

Ah, childhood
Yeah, I’m not getting a lot done these days. Owen has developed an allergy to penicillin (chip off the old block!) which was alarming, but the reaction he had to the second, replacement antibiotic is what really got my blood moving this morning, his face as bumpy and red and round as a raspberry […]

What I’ve learned from playing video games for a week straight

… That life is pretty awesome when all you do is play video games.
We had a super Christmas, you guys. Visited my family in Ohio, wore mustaches, ate a lot of delicious food and played a lot of games. We got a Wii for Christmas, so when we came home after the holiday, we set […]

Instant gratification on my head

Oh hey what up. So yesterday I got a bug up my butt about fixing my hair. Ever since I turned 30 it’s like my whole body, hair included, just threw up its hands and went Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.
Well, guess what, hair? You most certainly will. I’m the one […]

98% housework

So I was complaining on Facebook the other day about how I spend 98% of my day doing housework. Being home every day with a two-year-old and a four-year-old and I don’t know, it just explodes. Entropy, chaos.
Legos everywhere, crumbs on the coffee table, marker on the couch*, small bits of paper under the dining […]

Slice of life, Thanksgiving edition

Nov. 27: Owen meets Santa for the first time
(I feel like all my blogging is done in a rush as I’m heading out the door …)
OK real quick:

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my in-laws and I got to see the house my father-in-law (and sometimes Iain) are building (literally, by hand) up at the […]

Accidental vacation

I AM BACK.
Thanks to all sorts of confusing Internet Type Things my web site was down for like a week-plus. But now I’m back.
Back I say.
Oh God. I had all these things to tell you. I don’t even know. I guess it doesn’t matter. Here’s a candid photograph.

We were watching a video. Sometimes Owen likes […]
