I finally finished a book I bought awhile ago called The Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel.  I loved every sentence in the book.  I couldn’t get through 5 pages without going to get a pen so I could circle and write exclamation points in the margins.  Her child philsophy comes straight from [...]

So I went out tonight for a book club. I only got about a 1/4 of the way through the book (I started it this morning, when I found out the club was tonight) and I think I really had a good time. I say this because although I enjoyed the conversation and [...]

I got out today!!  Yay!  I went to lunch with Anisa- it was VERY nice to go out and chat and not have to worry about Camper crying (thanks Cy’s Dad for being so amiable and watching him so much ) and eating without worrying that my baby is hungrier than I am.  I [...]

I just went and got Camper out of his crib and he is snoozing next to me as I write this.  Tip for first time parents: get a bouncy chair!  We bought a swing and called it good, but then I realized: what if I have to go to the bathroom?  Or wash dishes?  Am [...]

Pregnancy, of course.  So I just got home from work and took a bath immediately to try and soothe my aching back.  It’s so sad to feel so decrepit at such a young age.  So after my bath I was getting dressed again and I suddenly remembered what it used to feel like to put [...]

Soo…I am a zombie.  I laid down to go to bed last night and knew it was going to be fruitless.  It’s amazing how I can tell.  So I read Stepford Wives to see if I could make myself tired, or at least be entertained.  (It’s a short book, doesn’t take long to get through.)  [...]

So, I was up all night last night and sorely tempted to stay in bed allll daaay long today.  Contrary to this impression, I did get up and go to work, which is where all the ridiculousness started.  I sat down and started updating my spreadsheets, all normal-like, just enjoying a plastic container of blueberries [...]

The weekend is dying down. It’s another one of those Sunday afternoons that I can’t really remember what it was that I’ve been doing for the last couple of days…
Friday was work and then we all stopped by my friend’s wedding reception to give our congratulations. It was just up the canyon, so [...]
