Gap Fail

Oh, Gap. Gap, Gap, Gap. Your top priority should be getting a model for your maternity line who is believably pregnant, not who just got done eating a Thanksgiving meal. Full-length post tomorrow!

Red Herrings, Worry, Hope, and Pizza

I have a confession to make. It’s probably not as interesting as the buildup I’m attempting. I really wish I could tell you something truly wild, like I’m actually a man. Now THAT would give this pregnancy blog a whole new provenance, wouldn’t you say? It would also give B a lot of credibility as […]

“Insert Self-Defining Quote Here”

Remember when Facebook had a section on your profile where you could type out your favorite quotes? For all I know, it could still have this section, but if so it’s apparently buried among the many other changes to the site that have been implemented for the pure sake of busywork. But that’s another topic […]

The First Man in My Life

I am my father’s daughter, and it’s one of my most honored distinctions. It is utterly insane to me that I only knew him for two-thirds of my life. He passed away extremely unexpectedly in July, 2001 when I was nineteen and my brother was fifteen. He had been on a two week trip to […]

One more thought on the New Year before it’s timed out

So. A new year. And a big one. Some thoughts. It seems as though comments on the New Year fall into three categories: 1. You feel the need to say something about it because the previous year was tremendously great. This was my case. 2011 was one of the busiest, most fun years I can […]

2011: How did we do all that?

January: Happy New Year to us! One of our favorite celebration spots in Seoul was a bar called Shiva Pub, a tiny Himalayan-themed pub run by an awesomely crazy lady named Sunny who was bound to be as inebriated as us by the time we left in the wee small hours. February: In Korea, most […]

These are a few of my favorite memes

When Maria took those old curtains and whipped them up into new playclothes for the Von Trapp children, she took some random material and made them into something hilarious and borderline offensive. By getting inspired by the ugliness that surrounded her and duplicating it at least seven times, she was one of the original meme […]

Limbo

So, I wasn’t planning on posting today – I’m saving my big holiday post for Friday – but with the death of Kim Jong Il, I feel like I should say something. Right now, those old nerves I experienced when North Korea would raise a ruckus while I was living in the ROK are resurfacing. […]

To you from me with bloodshot eyes

Before you get pregnant, no one ever tells you that once that little embryo comes into existence in your uterus, you’ll never sleep again. Yeah, not sleeping once the baby is born gets big press, but you never hear much about how having a baby inside you completely obliterates any chance you may have of […]

You wouldn’t call me versatile if you saw me do math

I’ve been extremely massively blessed to have been honored over and over the last couple months by some really, really great bloggers who like what I’m doing over here enough to call me out on their own blogs. I never would have imagined when I started blogging that I’d get to virtually know so many people […]
