On August 3rd, my friend D. gave birth to healthy and beautiful twin boys. She carried them to 34 weeks, defying the odds with each passing day. Her pregnancy was high risk (extremely high risk), which is still putting it mildly. High risk for the babies, ‘course, and high risk for my friend. I can [...]

Bust that Dust, Baby
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Big Brother, cleaning, Dust Buster, friendships, Little Brother on March 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I wish I could remember which one of my fabulously smart Mommy friends recently heard me complain about the copious amounts of dog hair wafting around in my house and my resulting compulsion to vacuum every twenty-five seconds. Whoever she was I do know that she, with a knowing smile, suggested I purchase a Dust Buster [...]

I recently learned that my matron-of-honor was pregnant when I read about it on Facebook. And, I was really, really happy for her. But, I gotta say, reading about it like that before I had heard it from her just hit me like a ton of bricks. She was my matron-of-honor when I married [...]

These cards kill me. Dry, slightly bitter, wickedly smart humor. Enjoy. Left side is the cover. Right side the inside message. I can’t wait to use my next one. Here’s the Bald Guy Cards website in case you liked them, too.

Question: I need to buy a birthday gift for a five year old girl today. And, I don’t want to spend a lot of money. So, should I go to : a) the boutique toy shop in the high-rent district of downtown Marblehead where no single toy is less than $25 or b) Target? [...]
Thank you.

I follow a number of blogs lately. I’m sort of immersing myself in this weird, new culture and unless you are in it you probably have no godly idea how ridiculously huge the blog world really is. Huge. I’m something like two years behind the trend, too. Women like me (and women not at all like [...]
Disney Nuggets Part Three – “Kids at Heart”
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged boys, Disney World, friendships, marriage, vacation on February 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When you go to Disney World without kids, as Ross and I did before we were married, all you notice are the people with strollers. They’re everywhere. Ev-er-y-where. Without a stroller, you are the outsider. And, while we still more or less enjoyed ourselves at the time, we sort of felt (not sadly) that we [...]
Why I Just Might Trade in My Jeep Cherokee for a VW Vanagon

I had lunch yesterday with a girlfriend of mine. One of those friends with whom I can discuss anything, say anything, do anything. We lived together in Boston once upon a time and, while our other two roommates were off at their own jobs, she and I spent all day long in pajamas, playing hooky [...]

…to get with the program again after two long weeks of not Watching my Weight. This includes but is not limited to refusing any and all invitations from my sweet children to “have some, Mommy?” when the item in question comes from the frozen foods section or comes with a packet of bright orange powder.
