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 […]
What the What?!
I changed my URL! So as not to upset the feisty internet gods too much, the change is kinda small. We are still at WordPress, as we love WordPress. I am a decent enough writer, but I am by no means technologically-savvy, so the jury’s still out on whether all my dear followers moved with […]
#SomeNotesOnTwitter
So, I have a Twitter account. As with most things technological, it took me awhile to get one. I got in on Facebook a couple of years after I first heard it existed and I started a blog about eight years after hearing about “online web logs”. Of course, I signed up for Google+ pretty […]
Time is Precious, I Know
Despite the fact that I find them endlessly annoying, I need to write an open letter to my blog. It needs to know I feel sorry for neglecting it. I’m just going to get it out of my system real quick, if y’all don’t mind. Dear Blog, I miss you. I named you before I […]
Learning German the Blogging Way
There is nothing more fun than sitting around waiting for your water to break and to start experiencing what could be the most intense pain you have ever felt. And actually wanting it. Bring it on, Bebe. This is my life. It’s pretty quiet in my little apartment here in North Carolina these days, and […]
To the Wayfaring Bloggers
I follow what, to me, seems like a lot of blogs. The blogs I love, I love a lot, and this is probably because I can actually form a relationship with the people who write them by coming to appreciate their talents as writers and people. I don’t really follow the behemoth blogs like Dooce* because […]
Practical Considerations
Just to refresh everyone, I am pregnant. Very much so. I am constrained to remind everyone of this for two key reasons. One, this is a pregnancy blog and that nomenclature informs the majority of what we do over here. But as the maker of this baby and this blog I have a moral duty […]
