I’m not pregnant

08.19.2010

I’m not pregnant. The three tests with cross expressions on their faces that are sitting in my bathroom trash confirmed it. Considering that I have an IUD siting snugly in my uterus this should come as no surprise. But, I woke up yesterday feeling like shit. My stomach was bubbly and crampy and I had [...]

University of Real Life

crazy kids

I said goodbye to my summer babysitter last week and it was heartbreaking. As I bid her farewell, I subtly suggested that she could learn far more with us than during four years at college. She laughed it off, but I was dead serious. Higher education is so overrated, don’t you think? To help convince [...]

Padma, Fluff and Stinky Cheese

08.11.2010

Hilshire Farm sponsored a booth at BlogHer and I was picked to make a sandwich for Top Chef judge Padma Lakshmi. I’m not a food blogger, but I love Top Chef and it sounded like a fun way to spend an hour in NYC. Plus, I make pretty good sandwiches. Or, not. I joked about [...]

08.10.2010

I used many words to describe BlogHer last year: Overwhelming, intense, exhausting. I was glad I went, but didn’t really love it. At all. This year was entirely different. The words that come to mind are fantastic, inspiring, fun, wonderful. To name a few. I loved meeting up with some of my favorite people from [...]

Name this dog

08.08.2010

BlogHer was incredible. I loved every minute and will do a proper post in a day or two once I can again focus my eyes and articulate my thoughts. But, first, I need your help. I came home from the jam-packed weekend to my husband, my three children, my dog and… a new puppy. Welcome [...]

I’m not really a sketchy weirdo, I just play one at BlogHer

08.03.2010

If you’re going to BlogHer, there are a few things about me that I’d like you to know: 1. I’m not an alcoholic. 2. I’m not really checking you out, I’m just doing some research. 3. I do not dance. 4. I may squeal/scream or jump up and down when I see you. Why do [...]

Swell but Uncool

08.02.2010

Jeff and I saw a concert on Saturday night. It was Swell Season, the band that the movie Once featured. (If you haven’t seen it, you should.) Not so much our music genre, but they’re really good we can be edgy and all. You know, once a year. My deep observations from the (rare) late [...]
