Now back to babies. I’m trying to find a job. A real job. It’s been almost a year since I’ve had a real job, and apart from some freelance writing work I’ve picked up here and there its been almost a year since I got a paycheck. I had a plan to study and take […]
I feel like in this political climate, its so hard not to view those with opposing views as the enemy. I have to continue to remind myself that, fundamentally, all humans want the same things; Safety, security, and love. That’s it. All of our physical and emotional needs can be lumped into those three categories. […]
While we’re on the subject of babies, because that seems to be the biggest focus in my life right now, I want to talk about sleep regressions. My friend Avuhduhbuh teases me because I refuse to buy into the whole “sleep regression” thing. Also, before I begin on that rant, I just need to get […]
If you read my last post, you’ll recall that I have approximately 9lbs to lose in order to get back to my pre-baby weight. And you’ll recall that I’m damn sure going to lose them because I don’t feel like expending the energy to “learn to love” my current baby-bod. But I still benefit from […]
Dude, its so hard to be female. Let me start out by saying that through both pregnancies, I gained within the recommended weight range for my BMI. I think I maybe reached 30lbs, which is perfectly split between the 25-35lb recommended for me. ::And humblebrag over:: Because BOTH times, after all was said and done, […]

It’s been I don’t know how long since I’ve worn anything but yoga pants. Life is grand. You want to know how grand? Here’s how grand: On a […]
Oh Hey. What can happen in three and a half years? Sometimes nothing. However, in looking back on my life, I’m trying to find a three year period in which nothing substantial happened, and well, it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe now that I’m legitimately, like, in my mid-30s WHICH IS STILL NOT MIDDLE AGED […]
Sex and the City was clever, fashionable and easily digestible TV that I immensely enjoyed watching throughout my 20s. This is despite the fact that my life has never come close to resembling the lives of the women in the show (although, for the record, I spent most of my 20s wishing it could). […]
just recently, my mom has begun receiving monthly Seventeen magazines. She is 62. I’d be interested to hear her perspective on them, but she doesn’t read them she just gives them to me, because they are addressed to me. I am 32.
the only thing in my fridge right now is corn tortillas and sriracha.
