They’re the best of the best, aren’t they? The cream of the crop, the pick of the litter. The finest, most talented, and most dedicated athletes at any given moment. You’d think they’d somewhat resemble each other. Okay, so I know that people come in all different shapes and sizes. And it’s obvious that there exists […]
As of 9:20am today, our Aerin Isabel turns 2 years old. When I updated our speech therapist on the status of Aerin’s hearing — that she is, indeed, still hearing impaired and will need tubes placed in her ears — the reaction was one of pure shock. “Just judging by the tremendous progress she has […]
Happy Halloween from the Geek in Heels clan! My little Ewok (Aerin) and my kickass Chun-Li (Claire) wish you all a safe and memorable holiday. I’d prefer the picture above were of one where they are posing together, but trying to get a decent picture of them in one frame (i.e., a non-blurry shot of them […]

Abrams who also happens to be a book nerd is not reason enough… A few months ago, geeks worldwide went into a guessing frenzy when Abrams’ production company tweeted the following: The secret is finally out, because the mysterious trailer was for a book, which Abrams conceived and written […]
Aerin has been doing wonderfully with her speech and developmental therapies. In just one month, the number of words she says has more than doubled to over 50, and she has even started to put together two-word sentences. (e.g., “Blow bubbles,” “Juice please”) She can now count to ten, and tries her best to sing […]
By now you’ve probably seen the viral Harry Potter characters’ Myers-Briggs types chart. When I first happened upon it last month, the timing could not be more uncanny; a friend had mentioned that her personality type had changed drastically over the years, so I had just taken the test again myself. Is it more common […]
Aren’t these illustrations by Isaiah Stephens fan-freakin-tastic? I’m especially partial to Jasmine as Chun-Li, because…well, you’ll see on October 31st!

In all my years of receiving therapy, there is one psychologist who stands out in my mind…and not in a good way. She was an empathic woman who immediately helped me feel at ease. She certainly had a way of helping me feel warm and comforted and understood, and I almost always felt better after our […]
This post is a link dump of sorts — three items I found especially interesting/funny and compelling enough for me to want to share them with you. 🙂 First up is a spoof trailer for Hell No, a horror movie starring characters who make…wait for it…good decisions. What a concept, huh? Take a look if you […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
