Tales of the World: Just Ask
When you are in school, teachers always tell you that there are no dumb questions, which is true to an extent. It’s not dumb to ask when the test is, how many moons Jupiter has, or what the difference between an alligator and a crocodile is. It is, however, dumb to ask what the capital […]
Fan Mail 2.0
Housekeeping is good. It helps you run a better blog. I occasionally do little things for my blog to give it a manicure. For instance, every so often I take it to the mall and let it try on new layouts and themes. So far, I think it looks best the way it’s dressed, so […]
A Big Announcement
From the moment you get pregnant and realize that a family – your very own made-from-scratch family – is on the horizon, your thoughts shift. People will ask you what’s to come for your growing family, and as much as you resent their intrusiveness, you start to wonder if there will ever be more. Once […]
Meet Ed Pate, Salesman
My besfrinn Cameron recently sent me Bossypants and aside from leaving me in sheer wonderment of the modern-day goddess that is Tina Fey, it made me think a lot about my own dad. Tina Fey devotes an entire chapter – “That’s Don Fey” – to her dad and an adventure she had with him whilst […]
I guess I do this now.
I love scarves. I love my glasses. I love Miss C. Logically, this was bound to happen eventually: Forgive me, my child, for from here on out, we are in the embarrassing photo zone. God help us all.
Lifestyles of the Middle Class and Unbabyproofed
I’m handing the blog over today to the real star of the show, Miss C. The End. P.S. Miss C will not be answering the comments to this post; I will. She’s already gone mad with power by having control over this post. Little does she know that the humbling experience of her first Halloween […]
Let’s have some fun.
I had planned on publishing this post on Friday, but I’m too excited to get started with it. May the games begin! We’re all friends here, right? Right. So what do you do when you have a group of friends that you want to bond with? You all go to Walmart and photograph each other […]
Remembering the Wrong Things
Last week, Lily and I were conversing in the comments of her blog, and she suggested that I talk about Iceland. Since I haven’t talked too much about Iceland, I decided that this was a good idea. B and I went on vacation there last year before I got pregnant. Here is a picture of […]
Did you know you missed me? Because you did.
So, long time no see. I kind of have the shakes right now because I have been busy the past few days and haven’t been able to write anything substantive or read as many blogs as I normally do. My mom has been in town hanging out with us, so that’s my alibi. Adorable outfits […]
A Major Award
I was recently awarded The Addictive Blog Award by A Flock of Crows. No, not a literal flock of crows. The only thing I’ve ever been awarded by a bird is The Crap on My Head Award by a pigeon in Chicago, and I’m not going to dignify that award with a hyperlink, much less a […]
