God I love looking at kid stuff!

Oh my goodness, I want one of everything from here!  There are a bunch of cool things about being pregnant, but for sure the best has to be looking at all the cool stuff that’s out there.  I’d make such a crappy minimalist.

I’ve been avoiding the writing thing, haven’t I?

Workshop starts up again on May 7th, and I’ve done a whole crapload of nothing.  Like, really nothing.  I have no idea what I want to write about, what I should write about, if I have anything to write about.  Yup, Jack and Shit.

Happy Earth Day!

I like to think we do our part for the environment around these parts.  We recycle religiously, use Green Power, don’t own a car, use natural cleansers.  When we renovated the apartment we used cork for the kitchen floor , our faucets all have low-flow aerators, and all of our appliances are Energy Star.  The [...]

Ah, the drive-by prenatal appointment

I even got to keep my pants on.  Everything looks good, all blood work from last time is fine, come back in 4 weeks.
Oh yeah, and I got to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time!  That really never gets old.  It’s not quite as startling this time around (last time it damn near [...]

Learning to Love My Closet

I like to pretend to be an organized person.  People always assume I am neat and tidy, and I really want to be, so I sort of run with it.  I can be organized with not so much effort, I just far prefer the end result to the work leading up to it.  And so [...]
