A Whirlwind Weekend

As I briefly blogged previously, this past weekend was my grandmother’s surprise 90th birthday party back in Miami (yes, pictures are posted! [photos courtesy of the Nana]). I figured, as a long as I was home, I might as well run the ING Miami Marathon. True, the marathon started at 6:10 a.m. and the party [...]

Odd Moments over the Weekend

At the party, a wedding was going on. At one point Doodles was in the hall playing, when suddenly he gets up suddenly and runs back toward me at high speed. He begins to shout, in utter panic, as she does indeed walk toward the restroom, “There’s a bride! There’s a bride!” Nice. Not even [...]

My Race Stats (for Anyone Who Cares)

See the graphical versions on the marathon web site. I was: 1121st place with 1399 finishers behind. About 44% of finishers ahead.268th place with 659 finishers behind. About 29% of finishers ahead.49th place with 107 finishers behind. About 31% of finishers ahead. Of the 2522 who finished, 37% were female and 63% were male.For the [...]

Breakfast of Champions

Okay, cookie dough for breakfast really is disgusting. Please don’t ask me how I know this. Just trust me on it. Edited at 12:32 p.m.: Cookie dough for lunch is also pretty gross. For the record.

Potty Mouth

Even though this says it was posted by me (Jenny), I am hereby turning over the keyboard to Adam who is going to be my guest Blogger tonight: Potty training is the talk of the house these days. The majority of the talk is a steady stream of reminders: “Doodles, do you have to use [...]

Speed Blog

I’m having a completely and totally stressed-out week, so you guys are just getting bullet points today: I missed a dentist appointment. I’m the most organized person around; I never miss appointments. But I was sitting here at my desk when the phone rang and the dentist said, “Where are you?” I forgot it. Plain [...]

Thoughts

A little random stream-of-consciousness posting tonight because I’m too tired to really post. Haven’t been getting a lot of sleep lately–going to bed too late (my fault), waking up too early (kids’ fault)–and tonight I went out for a belated birthday dinner with my friend Hannah (happy quarter century, Hannah!), so I’m really not in [...]

Dress Up Time

A good friend had her baby early (a little too early, but everything looks fine), so we took her son for the day yesterday. I’ll call him Murdoch, in honor of the train he and Doodles fought over. Both kids actually did pretty well, given that Murdoch hadn’t had his mom home in a bit [...]

A Brief Interruption

We interupt this blog for a special message. There seems to be some confusion among even my most loyal readers, so I’d like to remind everyone: –Doodles is not potty trained.–Pie is not weaned. We now return to our regularly scheduled blog.

Lust

I… must… have… an… iPhone! Arg! When is it being released? Can’t wait that long! Maybe I’ll make it my potty reward if/when I get that boy trained.
