What’s the only thing cooler than hearing great news about a friend? Hearing about it before anyone else! Yeah! So congratulations to you-know-who-you-are about that thing that not everyone may know about yet.
I know I talk a lot about the fact that my brain is not up to par these days. But I wish you could just experience it from in here. A bunch of us HBS partner women have been getting together for a weekly potluck over the summer. Tonight Meg hosted (and oh, that strawberry [...]
It’s been a while since I’m ranted about Boston, hasn’t it? Hate to disappoint folks, so: Is it not bad enough that drivers here are so bad when they are just driving that they have their own special name, Massholes? Now, they want to multitask? On the way into work, the guy in the next [...]
My mom sent me a series of eleven birthday–what? not exactly e-cards? birthday images? They were too much fun. A selection from them: The Claire Bear also made me the funniest CD cover based (and a good CD), which I would have posted here if my computer hadn’t crashed. I’ll try again later.
I think low expectations are what make for an excellent birthday. The carpet was installed and it looks mighty fine. The painters started (exterior, so no disruption to our lives). I got lots of phone calls and e-mails from friends, chocolates from Hannah, flowers from Adam, a banana cake from Shannon, a pile of presents [...]
I’m advanced age. Today, it’s official. Woman giving birth at the age of 35 are advanced age, and while I knew that when I got pregnant at the tender young age of 34, today is the day I cross that barrier into advanced age. Had Brown Brown been a premie, I could have still been [...]
Do you ever have one of those days that just drags on. You have e-mails to answer, stories to write, stories to rewrite (or whatever it is you do), phone calls to return, but gosh darnit you just don’t feel like doing any of it, so instead you mindlessly hit the refresh button on your [...]
Adam’s been traveling loads for work. He just called–he’s back from Berlin (and can you believe it? He was there for five nights and he didn’t have wiener schnitzel once! The freak), and on his way home. It’s good to have him home, but I have to say, there are pleasures in having the house [...]
Tomorrow is the release of Harry Potter, in case you’ve been living in a cave. Yes, I’ve had it on pre-order forever, it seems, although I don’t plan on reading it till the fall, when I’ll be at home a lot with nothing but a crying Brown Brown for company. Right now I have too [...]
I told my doc at yesterday’s appointment about how What to Expect When You’re Expecting says that eating veggies now will make the baby like veggies more when they’re born, and she said, “I’d like for someone to show me the proof of that! I think that’s B.S.” And then I said, “Well, that’s a [...]
