    Emily, to me, this morning: “Mommy, you look SO much like Jamie Lynn Spears today” me: “oh. really. great.

  2. professional
    i’m fairly certain i am going to become a professional photographer. you know, that is, once i’ve learned to take my camera off of auto. and actually, erm, learn how to use it. and once i’ve actually gotten my own SLR…since right now i’m only borrowing urbanmoms.ca’s. but this is where it’s at. trust me. i took the [...]

  3. The Boots is three
    three years ago this was me. (technically this is 38.5 weeks…) gigantic. sweaty. tired. bitchy. overdue. many, many days overdue. Haley-O had already gone and had her monkey. my bestie Tova had already gone and had her Noah. and there i was. still fucking pregnant. and then, labor. sweet, sweet labor pains while watching Raging Bull. three years [...]

  4. the best laid plans. the garage abyss. the nudeys.
    so, the goal this week was to enjoy the silence. turn off the tv. do things i don’t normally do. so, now that i’m finally feeling like a human again (once again, i do not recommend food poisoning. WORST), i had great plans for last night. they involved me, my deck, a glass of wine, [...]

  5. a summer bonus. and i don’t know how to be single.
    food poisoning. a nice little bonus summer activity i can now cross off my list. i still feel like crap, but the chills/sweats/chills/sweats fever is gone so i’m back at work. i pretty much slept straight from 10:30 yesterday morning until 6:30 this morning, waking only to tell the husband, twitter and Tova how awful i [...]

  6. made famous well before Ashton Kutcher…
    i have a thing for old men. not older men in an “ohmigoodlord Liam Neeson is HOT for a man his age” sort of way (which, i mean, yes, he is, but that’s not the topic for today. maybe tomorrow. is it getting hot in here?) old men. like, grandfathers. great-grandfathers, even. i just love them. especially [...]

  7. this week i will…
    …attempt to NOT be such a music snob. i really, really am. i really, really wish i wasn’t, though. i realize that there’s a reason we have so many different radio stations. not everyone is going to like what i like. different strokes, right? but sometimes…things happen…where snarkyAli rears her head and says things on [...]

  8. hi, i’m ali and i am an internet liar
    so, on Friday i gave you all some truths and some lies and asked you to pick out the lies. and basically, either you all suck or I’M THE BEST INTERNET LIAR EVER! because no one got them all right (if it makes you feel better, even my husband didn’t know about the ballet-in-the-bowling alley [...]

  9. bear with me. it is only 4am in San Francisco
    i’m going to start with a confession: i did not drink at BlogHer08. i swear. not one. and NO i’m not pregnant. you see, i like to drink. and so, i drink. and i drink often. and when i drink i tend to get, um, wordy. i tend to overshare. and then i say things like “it’s less [...]

  10. best in show
    oh yes, the dog story. and how we almost ended up with one… (and still might!) growing up in my mom’s house, there was always a dog. and it was always a miniature schnauzer. the ugliest of all dog breeds. and clearly not the brightest either. we had those dogs that didn’t know their asses from [...]
