The Day I Took a Pregnancy Test at Big Y

So it’s no secret that John and I have a child. One son. I have a son. (I heart saying this, so sorry for the repetition.) I pretty much dig him, enough that I stay home and stare at him all day long. Ok, so maybe I play with him [...]

*Warning, long and rambly.
While visiting with a close friend last week I was asked the question, “So what is a day like for you?”  She meant now that I’m a SAHM, now as opposed to what I’ve been up to for the last few years.  It’s really only been since August that I’ve embraced the [...]

As my husband slumbers in his lair, preparing for another night at work, and as my little boy sleeps in his crib, preparing for- well- who knows what?  I think to myself: I should sleep.  But as always, I feel that I can enjoy my “down time” more if I am awake.  Hence the posting.
This [...]

The title of this post refers to a quote found in a letter from my dear friend Lindsey.  A REAL letter.  With a stamp.  She’s good at those, better than me anyway.
Just for the record, Lindsey is a firm supporter of Obama and a very political gal, again…more than me.  She actually went and met [...]

John basically intro’d this post for me, so I thought I’d follow through.  Out of all the artists at the concert last night, he liked Meiko.  All the artists were actually talented, well-trained, and interesting.  Some were interesting good, some were interesting bad.  I liked a few, but out of the ones I didn’t like, [...]

So I’m finally going to post on Proposition 8.  Not because I’ve figured anything out, because I haven’t.  Not because I have any say that I think other people need to listen to, because I don’t.  Not because John posted on it today (I’ve actually been working on this for awhile…), but that’s not the [...]

Waking Up

It’s snowing!  And sticking!  It feels a little bit symbolic.  It’s something I’ve waited for, something I’m happy about, but something that signals a lot of work to come.  A lot of work.
Yes, I supported Obama.  I was in the minority here in Utah, and as I looked across to the other side of the [...]

Yesterday was a good day. We slept in a wee, then woke up and went to our doctor’s appointment. This was the OBGYN, so except for just hearing about Camper is doing we didn’t expect much on the “what’s going on with my colon?” front. But I DID have SOMETHING to ask [...]

My Mom flew in Thursday to help take care of me We didn’t do much that day- just napped and had some food, ran to WalMart. She decided that I am too amazingly pale and that I need to eat red meat. Every day. That is difficult for a girl [...]

What IS that?

I’m sitting here minding my own business, just having some chocolate and diet coke, and all of a sudden I hear this noise.
eee-uuhuh-eeee, gurgle gurlge, eeeeee.
“Whatever can that be?” I think to myself.  But pay no more heed.
A few minutes later, I hear it again:
eeeeeeeeeeeuhuhuhuheeeeeegurgleeeeeeeee.
“Hmmm……..Anyway.”
Finally- I can’t ignore it.  So I turn down Gilmore Girls [...]
