Don’t Make Me Beg
My blog has been hijacked. This is nothing new. First Miss C hijacked it with her cuteness and now Le Clown has hijacked it with his, erm, well, it’s not cuteness. His magnificence? Yeah, let’s go with that. Today is the last day of Le Clown’s Blogroll Contest. Le Clown is also Le Marketing Genius. […]
Babies Aren’t the Only Absurd Things
Actual conversation that just occurred: B: Are you playing that Clown blogroll game again? Me: Dur. YES. I may actually win. B: Well that sounds like a great use of your time. Me: This from the person who is tweeting at Zooey Deschanel until she tweets back at you. Yeah. So that’s what we’re doing […]
Babies Are Absurd
I was washing the dishes yesterday with Miss C in her little Rock ‘N Play thing next to me, just watching me. And it occurred to me. Babies are ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. I think it’s like when you say a word over and over and over, and eventually it sounds like martian-talk. When you think […]
Le Clown, Indeed
fyfrghfghftyfvghfvhfghv bnn,mjlkhkjbnmvcbnvdgfgcvbnvhj Sorry, that was Miss C. She’s a tad annoyed with me this morning because I am more interested in getting on Le Clown’s blogroll than, y’know, washing her diapers. Looks like she’ll be wearing her Up&Up Target brand diapers for a couple more hours, much to the chagrin of Greenpeace. Mama’s got priorities, […]
Finding Flow
When we were there, the national motto for the Philippines seemed to be “please bear with us.” There were handwritten signs at the resort with that line, asking us to have patience with certain doors that weren’t functioning correctly or credit card machines that were on the fritz. The currency exchange booths – which were […]
The B Word
You should always have an ongoing project. Last year, my project was being pregnant. And it’s funny, but when I was pregnant with C, actually having a baby was still a hypothetical thing to me. This is probably pretty common among first pregnancies. It’s hard to wrap your brain around the immediacy of actually having […]
A blogroll. Sorta.
I don’t have a proper blogroll. It’s not for lack of trying. I have sat down at least three times and tried to compile one, and once the list reaches more than thirty blogs, I give up. If the dang thing is so long, no one will actually take the trouble to go through it […]
A House Built on Blogging (and Love. Yeah, That Too.)
Often, blogging comes in pairs. You need to have a real-life companion to get you through the grind. B is my companion in more ways than the marital kind. He’s a blogger too. Did you know that? Probably not since I’m writing this against his will. He will die when he sees that I’m finally […]
Super Awesome One Year Extravaganza!
Last August, I published my first post to The Waiting. Want to be the first person to read it? You still have time. At that time, only two people other than me knew of the impending Miss C so I needed a room to tell my secrets to, Brian Wilson-style. A lot has happened in […]
On Good Writing
A couple or so months ago, I read a post by a blogger who had just come off of being Freshly Pressed. She talked about how everyone has a piece of writing that they’re proud of but just didn’t get any attention. She then invited her readers to introduce themselves in the comments, give an […]
