oh come ooooon
guess what stupid thing i did today??
i hit a parked car! pulling out of my own driveway!! ugghhhh i seriously cannot believe this.
i am maybe not the most always-on-top-of-my-shit kind of girl, but i’m really not a hitting-parked-cars kind of girl, either.
i *had* looked in the rear view mirror but since it was dark i assumed that’s what i was seeing… and didn’t...
bedbug sniffing beagle. →
i repeat…
bedbug. sniffing. beagle!!!
we really ought to put that dog of ours to work.
in a crabby ass mood
and i’m going to try something new and different to get me out of it.
diving into some work.
generally being in a shitty mood makes me spend the day wallowing in laziness.
but yesterday one of my best friends at work got laid off so i’m thinking today’s a good time to try a new tactic.
four years of W
this past weekend greg and i celebrated anniversary #4
being married has been really unlike any other life change or adult undertaking that i’ve experienced. loving greg is not a challenge… but sometimes marriage can be.
the most important thing i’ve learned so far is to stay a team, even if we’re not really seeing eye to eye. i try to gently but firmly make my point...
sick day
our little girl woke up with a nasty cough this morning and greg was pretty worried the croup was back.
so i took her to walk-in hours at the pediatrician and … good news, i guess?
it’s not croup, but it’s bronchitis. poor thing!
right now she’s taking an epic nap and when she wakes up, we’ll get bundled up and head out to the grocery store for an antibiotic for...
too tight tights
this might just be me, and i might just be (really) weird, but have you ever worn a pair of tights that made your feet hurt?
it’s so weird - this has never happened to me before with any other pair. and i do quite love the, er, friendly shaping (read: holy shit these puppies are tight) quality everywhere else…
but now that i’ve had these suckers on all day, i’m noticing...
get out of my head, doogie!
it turns out neil patrick harris was totally listening in while greg and i hemmed and hawed over a name for our then-unborn-daughter.
i loved the name harper. greg wasn’t 100% sold on it but said he’d be more willing to go along with it if i’d be into his chosen middle name, grace.
this morning i heard on z100 that nph & david burtka welcomed their brand new twins the...
happy birthday to my bestie!
lauringitis:
i am not so eloquent as my darling judi, but i feel she deserves some public recognition on her birthday for 15ish years of wonderful friendship.
as time keeps flying by, judi has become the one i can tell anything to. perhaps because she knows everywhere ive been. she doesnt think im crazy (in a bad way) because she sees past the insanity and understands the why. we do...
small world
i just received the following facebook message from a college friend:
hey! was looking through some pictures that my friend (from high school) Allison posted of she and her son and noticed you and Harley in them! I guess they go to pre school together! Very cute. What a small world. Hope things are good with you, Greg and Harley.
crazy! a few weeks ago we went to ‘back to school...
this made me feel a little stabby... →
WOW!!! that was my first reaction, so let me get that out of the way. WOW.
(also, sorry, this really hit a nerve. i have a lot to say i guess.)
i certainly don’t know yours or georgina’s or anybody else’s financial status or the reasons behind the decisions that any other family makes. and it sounds like you don’t know the person you’re criticizing, dad-isms. i...
happy birthday, laur
it’s this girl’s birthday today!!!
i’m having trouble coming up with exactly the right way to say happy birthday to my friend who i LOVE so, so, so much.
lauren and i …discovered the world together - and found a few skeezy dive bars (and even skeezier bartenders - i’m looking at you, sal) along the way. we’ve seen each other through our worst, and very best...
An open letter to Perez Hilton: →
i’m very happy to be passing this on. sometimes i think i can be kind of a killjoy when it comes to people like perez hilton, maybe even celebrity gossip in general. i’m not trying to be a saint, but i just really don’t find the act of tearing someone down to be very funny. so i’ve pretty much detested perez for a long while now.
i heard about his comments following...
It's decorative gourd season, motherfuckers. →
thebluehour:
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal … When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is...
this is a whole new level of addiction
why do i find myself browsing on-sale items at destinationmaternity.com?
OMG. SO. NOT. PREGNANT!!!
i found this plaid shirt dress and i was like, oooh i was totally looking for something like this when i was pregnant last time and it’s on sale now and it’s my size, hmmm…
DUDE. that makes ZERO sense. i might be pregnant in a different season, or i might be pregnant again in...
one sweet heart attack
my coworkers and i were having a gloomy day.
so instead of our quick jaunt downstairs to europa cafe or starbucks for our Afternoon Sweets (yep, this is a Thing. and it is awesome, because our boss frequently pays)…
i made the very wise (but perhaps not so waistline-or-artery-friendly) decision to go instead to milk bar for cookies.
(i got cornflake-marshmallow-chocolate chip, and a...
o, canada!
three weeks ago may have been a little canada teaser, what with our beautiful view from the 22nd floor of our hotel in downtown detroit…
but this weekend we’re actually headed to canada - toronto, to be exact. greg’s cousin is getting married and we’ll be spending this upcoming long weekend up there.
can anyone pass along some amazing toronto suggestions? i’m...

that’s not some native american tribe you’ve never heard of, or a piece of furniture from ikea.
it stands for Out As Long As She Was In, and it’s a milestone that miss harley will tick off this thursday. (i only recently heard of this thing, and i think it’s kind of amusing.)
41 weeks.
but i’m honestly not sure if that number feels like a lot or a little or what....
thebluehour:
The phrase is: “for all intents and purposes”, not “intense and purposes”. I mean, the second one doesn’t even make any sense.
my boss says “intensive purposes” and it reeeeeally makes me crazy. and she’s a smart woman who i really like a lot! but that… oh my goodness, it’s nails on a chalkboard.
