I had been contemplating writing about parenting and judgy-ness. I have been thinking about “judgement” for a while, and the sport we make of it. It’s a national past time. Someone, somewhere, is doing something wrong. And boy, someone, somewhere else, is pissed about it. I’m no different. I have opinions. The other day, I [...]
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It’s Back To Work I Go
February 6, 2013 By 5 Comments
I got a job. I mean, a job away from home. I was sort of, maybe, perhaps, thinking about going back to work, but I figured it was going to take me a long time to find a job that would suit our purposes. I wanted a job that I would enjoy, otherwise it wouldn’t [...]
Breastfeeding Travails: Pumping My Boobs Sucks Ass
January 18, 2013 By 11 Comments
This is a post about boobs. And not about sexy boobs. This is a post about milky, leaky boobs. If you’re not into that sort of thing, feel free to back away slowly and pretend you didn’t mean to come in here. Me and all the other leaky boob people will pretend we didn’t see [...]
Crafting Is Total Bullshit
July 11, 2012 By 6 Comments
Okay, look at this. Cute, right? With the clouds, and the silver raindrops. The clouds are made of gray and white card stock, taped and glued to bamboo embroidery hoops. The rain drops are silver card stock, weighted with metal washers and hung on clear beading fishing line. I made this. I didn’t follow a [...]
Thank You

Okay, I’m getting this in now, while I can, while I’m thinking about it, before I explode, and before the next 18 to 26 years when I expect to misplace my brain and become a barely-literate, half-asleep zombie person. THANK YOU. Thank you to friends and family who have been there for us as we [...]
A Little Less Than A Barrel Of Laughs
February 22, 2012 By 4 Comments
Note: I wrote this post about a month ago, just as I was just coming out of a deep hormone-induced depression. I feel better now. It was going to happen. It was inevitable. At some point, I was going to descend into that unfulfilled, uncharted and underserved niche of people who get onto the internet and [...]
This Is Going To Change Everything
February 13, 2012 By 14 Comments
As we were first getting used to the idea that I was pregnant, technically known as the “Oh Shit” Phase, I wondered about how to write about my experiences. I know there is no shortage of preggo blogs and mommy blogs and earnest, heartfelt, indulgent blogs where people talk about their feeeeelings. It’s actually an amazing [...]
Quiet Please
December 9, 2011 By 3 Comments
Do you ever wish you were a quiet little bunny? And you lived in a wonderful forest full of flowers and grass and cute, happy, friendly animals? And it was warm, and sunny, and beautiful all the time? And all the little animals all got along okay? All you needed to do all day was [...]
I Can See My Age From Here
November 14, 2011 By 9 Comments
Here’s an actual real, post, instead of a repost during NaNoWriMo. Because this actually happened. Okay, so I’m not going to moan about getting old. I don’t feel old except I’m flabby and out of shape (which I would gladly complain about if it weren’t my own damned fault). And I wouldn’t want to go [...]
Declining The Invitation To Crazytown
October 21, 2011 By 6 Comments
I have met people, a lot of people actually, who are really, really good at fooling themselves. For various reasons. These are coworkers or family or friends, or the orbiting wackos in our lives. It takes a lot of effort to keep fooling yourself. We all fool ourselves, in varying degrees, out of self preservation. [...]
