On September 22, my grandfather will turn 90 years old. However, that’s awfully close to Brown Brown’s due date (which is September 10, for those of you who have forgotten), and obviously Adam and I would not only be unable to fly home, but we’ll have commandeered the Tweedle Twirp as our in-house nanny and [...]
Good news. Just because Starbucks doesn’t have their mammoth chocolate chip cookies on display at 9:30 a.m., doesn’t meant they don’t have them. You just have to ask. They keep them in the back. Not that there’s any special reason I know this. Um, no, not at all. I’m finding those carrots and grapes I [...]
Was I just saying that I wish Brown Brown would get the hell out of my ribs? Well, for forty-five minutes starting at 3:07 a.m., he did. He discovered a brand new toy: my internal organs. Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam. He’s finally back at my ribs. And I’m alarmingly grateful.
Do you prefer pop or soda? Me, I’m a soda kind of gal, which is probably why I made my way back to the East Coast.
I am starving. I mean ravenous. Contemplating going out and getting a burrito. Which would be fine if I hadn’t just half an hour ago polished off a rather large tuna fish sandwich, a bag of chips, and five cookies. I’m supposed to be eating less now that my Brown Brown is pushing my stomach [...]
As I called Adam in Vienna (he finally got a world cell phone from work) to give him the sad score of the Red Sox-Yankee game (1-2), a horrifying, evil thought occurred to me. This must be a sign of the apocalypse. We’re talking evil of biblical proportion. Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fires [...]
My pregnancy hormones have been more or less in check except when it comes to Adam and his reading. He’s great about reading to the baby (our favorites are the two Sandra Boynton books we have: But Not the Hippopotamus and Barnyard Dance!, although I personally love reading him Let’s Nosh [a present from Kara] [...]
Ok, so now I officially owe Debbie H. an apology. We took a duck tour. Yes, I the anti-duck not only took the duck tour, but it was premeditated duck tour trip (it had to be–those things sell out way in advance!). Pam, Tim, Adam, and I headed to the Museum of Science for a [...]
We were lame. Our ambitions for the 4th of July were grand. Our day kicked off with an auspicious start, as we had our house guests Pam and Tim from Seattle staying with us. We began with waffles (the good kind from Mark Bittman‘s recipe that has to let the batter sit overnight to rise) [...]
Even though Pregnancy Weekly tells me, “This is day number 211 and you’re 30 weeks pregnant! You have 69 days or 10 weeks left, and are 75% of the way there. Baby’s age since conception is 197 days or 28 weeks,” it still feels like a ways off. I mean September. That’s like, what, ages [...]
