Revelation 21:4

Dec 08. 2009

Dear Tater Tot, Today I would've been 21 weeks pregnant with you. I would've officially passed the halfway mark, would undoubtedly have a sizeable bump, would know your gender, and have felt you moving inside of me. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I did not have a candle to blow out, but if I were granted any wish in the world I would ask for you to come back to me. My only condolence lies in knowing that I will meet you, one day, when "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." I love you, and I miss you so very...

My idea of a romantic dinner involves debating basketball and football at a four-star restaurant.

Dec 08. 2009

I don't know about other girls, but I find it incredibly sexy when a man can spew off sports trivia. And that is exactly what J did during my birthday dinner tonight at my favorite steakhouse. What made it even more special was that after some supreme pwnage, he proceeded to egg me on. The Ever-So-Considerate Hubs:  And THAT's why. BAM! (Emeril style) The Defeated Geek:  I apologize for my ignorance. Please forgive me. The Arrogant Hubs:  Maybe I will, maybe I won't. The Defensive Geek:  Hey! How many other girls do you know recognize, and can tell the difference between the SportsCenter theme music and the Monday Night Football theme? The Reconsidering Hubs:  [pause] I gotta give you that. The Not-So Defeated Geek:  Da-da-daa, da-da-daaa! (to...

Social Media Timeline

Dec 05. 2009

I used to be pretty active on several social media outlets. But lately the consistent chatter, as well as the time and energy needed to devote oneself fully to each site, has worn me out. These days I limit myself to Facebook and Twitter. And even Twitter has started to go ignored since Facebook released its comment feature. If I share something on Facebook, do I share it on Twitter too? What about those who are my Facebook friends and follow my tweets? (Because I get confused as to whether to comment/reply to one's Facebook, Twitter, or blog when they're all talking about the same thing. Most of the time I end up not commenting at all because I can't decide.) Buzz, buzz, buzz. This chart...

I am by no means a fashionista.

Dec 04. 2009

So perhaps this is the reason I have NEVER heard of the über-popular blog Sea of Shoes until tonight. Jane Aldridge, the 17-year-old blogger behind Sea of Shoes. I found the site intriguing, much like a 5-car pileup on the LIE. You want to not look, but you can't. Here is a 17-year-old girl — a thin, attractive one at that — flaunting her wealth and entitlement through a blog that consists mostly of pictures of herself flashing her latest luxury purchases. And what about the mom, who obviously supports these spending sprees? And has her own blog to showcase her own fabulous lifestyle? A bit of web sleuthing revealed that Jane, through her blog, has become a fashion darling and featured in numerous...
