  2. “Oof,” said Sam
    Isabella has very particular taste in bedtime stories. We went through an all- Dora, all-the-time stage. and then a Jillian Jiggs stage. and then it was Sadie and the Snowman only please. now, she’s hooked on another book. dear god, does she adore the ever-loving crap out of this book. to the point where she’s adopted [...]

  4. i almost came to work braless today
    the husband and i have this little game we play. it involves giving the other person absolutely ZERO sympathy when the person is sick or in pain. romantic, isn’t it? to be fair, i began this whole game. we weren’t even married yet and he was visiting me at my dad’s in Atlanta, came down [...]

  6. roads. where we’re going we won’t need roads.
    So, the husband and i went to see ‘Knocked Up’. a date. a conventional dinner and a movie date. When you get married…there are things that you stop doing.

  7. a true confession and a contest
    my husband makes fun of many things that i do. the way i throw my entire head back to swallow one little pill. the way i leave every light in the house on, all the time. the way i lay down in bed at 8:00pm at night and can fall asleep for the night, mid-sentence. and [...]

  8. there’s a new hero in town
    and it sure as hell ain’t him: (oh, heroes, how i’ve missed you. i think shows should not be allowed to go on hiatus. it’s just not fair to devoted fans.) no, friends, the hero in question is this: i’m fairly certain i’ve discussed that the husband is an Xbox addict. He plays online, against his friends, every [...]

  9. haircuts and awards and farts…oh my!
    i was all ready to post a thursday thirteen this week…i was thinking worst celebrity dressers…the hardest part of this would be narrowing down the contestants. but, there was laundry to do. and dishes to wash. and blankets to be made. and book launches to miss (oh, yes, i’m not pleased about this one…but i [...]

  10. of toilets and toilet humor
    at 8:16 am i gave my 18-and-a-half-month old daughter chocolate for breakfast. why…you ask? because at 8:05 she asked for the toilet, we put her on, and bingo…both pee and poo. and we are so proud. we are not getting too excited just yet. she asked for the toilet 10 times yesterday, and we had only one successful pee.
