I used to blog every. single. day.  There was barely a thought or event or special occasion that went undocumented in some form or another.
And then?  Well, I don’t know what.  Other shit became more important, I guess.  Or maybe I just got bored with it.  Or maybe I just started spewing all of my [...]

Do you know why there are so many mommy blogs?
Because it’s easy.
If you have kids, you can throw up pictures from pretty much any day of your life and be like “LOOK!  I POSTED!  SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH MY KIDS!”  and someone, somewhere, will be all “awwww, you have babies and they eat turkey.  So cute.”

And [...]

Two weeks ago, I dragged two three children to the grocery store for our weekly shopping trip.
After they had endured more time than anyone should ever have to endure in a Wal-Mart, I took them to the nearby party supply store that had been converted into a costume shop for the Halloween season.
Emma had known [...]

Last night, Jared and I decided to take advantage of the fact that we still do not have any children at home to distract us from having to talk to one another and go out for dinner together.
I suggested my favorite Japanese restuarant, Kobé, because we have always had a great time and really enjoyed [...]

Yesterday I spewed 1500 words about BlogHer – and got through Wednesday.
The conference didn’t even start, officially, until Friday.
There is just so damn much.
I was in Chicago for five days and every single one of those days was filled with highs and lows and laughter and nervousness and – because it’s me – embarrassing shit [...]

The kids left Friday morning.

By Friday night, Jared and I were ready to walk on the wild side.
We headed out for a romantic dinner at the local sports bar.  Because nothing says romance and wild and crazy like a place with big screen TVs and free face painting on Wednesday nights.
Right.  Awesome.  [...]

“Your test results were a little… unusual.”
Awesome.  Because that’s exactly the first thing you want to hear your doctor say when he walks into the room.
“Unusual?”
“Yes, well, there’s some things that are… strange.”
Strange and unusual.  Again – awesome.
My doctor quickly assured me that there a bunch of really bad things that he knew I did [...]

Saturday afternoon, I went to a baby shower.
I’ve been to a lot of baby showers, but this one was different.
This baby shower was for my beautiful friend Faiqa, who is a Pakistani American with a butt load of middle eastern friends.  And while you might not think that this fact alone is significant, think for [...]

On Sunday I was going to write a funny post about how Hilly and I spent Saturday pretending to be supermodels.
I was going to show you pictures of our light guy and write funny things on the pictures like “see how we is sexy!” with an arrow pointing to my boob inexplicably hanging out of [...]

The other day on twitter I informed the Internets that I was finally working through all of the pictures from my Dad’s visit to Florida a couple weeks ago.
Because that is the kind of interesting information I like to share with the world with modern technology.
And while you are mocking me for my mastery of [...]

Shari called me last night and asked me how I email pictures to Twitter from my iPhone.  Janice asked me last Friday how I get mobile pictures from FlickR to Twitter without using TwitPic.  I heard a rumor that even the great and powerful Dave2 of Blogography had to have someone show him how to [...]

Emma,
Some day I will write down your very own Story of The Day You Were Born and you will carry on a tradition started by my own mom. Some day you will sit long enough to listen to me talk about the greatest day of my life (and you will likely use that against [...]

There are 406 pictures from my weekend in Charleston.
About 385 of those pictures are of buildings and food and trees and the back of a mule’s head.

I told you so.
Having just spent way too much time and hours I could have been cleaning uploading 406 pictures to Flickr, I’m reluctant to spend one more minute [...]

If you spend enough time with another person, you’re bound to discover their little quirks and eccentricities.
For example, this weekend I learned that Becky brings her own washcloths on vacation with her – and sometimes leaves them behind when she goes. Becky learned that I am perfectly normal in every way. Which is [...]

1 – Got real, big girl dining room furniture. Sure, it’s secondhand (and therefore missing the real, big girl price tag), but it’s beautiful. And mine. And I love it.
2 – Rearranged all of my china into my new ginormous hutch. I also sorted and reorganized all of my linens (which [...]
