Gawd, having two toddlers is tough. And trying to be a good mom is the hardest thing I’ve ever done (and I imagine it will continue to be so for the remainder of my life). These past couple of weeks have been especially trying with J’s parents and my own mother all on vacation (the […]
NFL Quarterbacks on Facebook: Super Bowl XLVII Edition
You guys, the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl. My team was crowned the 2012-2013 NFL Champions. This may not seem like much to most people, but it’s a BIG FREAKING DEAL to someone whose two favorite teams (the Knicks and the Ravens) have yielded countless disappointments and heartaches for more than a decade. So […]
Google Translate: Star Wars Edition
The last one is the best. 😉 Via Comfortably Awkward. P.S. — Life in the Geek in Heels household has been pretty chaotic, and will probably remain so for the next week or two. Posts may continue to be light and/or unintelligent. The upside? There’s another giveaway in works. (Have you entered my circle lens […]

From Dating to Messaging to Texting
Over the weekend, I read a NYTimes article titled The End of Courtship? which questions the new millennials’ methods of dating — or, in this case, not dating. Instead of dinner-and-a-movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other “non-dates” that are leaving a generation […]
A C&A Update
This past week has been hell for me — not only was am I ill with a cold, Aerin has suddenly become super clingy with me. For instance, I’ll be standing behind her and she’ll start screaming because she can’t see me. I can’t even pee in peace because she’ll be trying to climb all over me. […]
Go Vote for a New Monopoly Token! (And Save Your Favorite!)
Hasbro is currently running a Facebook campaign that allows YOU to vote for a new, permanent player’s token. This kinda sucks if you don’t use Facebook, but if you do, go vote now! As you can see above, the five candidates for a new token are: robot, ring, cat, helicopter, and guitar. Right now the cat […]
The Star Wars Trilogy as Maps by Andrew DeGraff
Check out these illustrated maps of the original Star Wars trilogy by artist Andrew DeGraff. The more you look at each piece, the more you realize they’re so much more than just maps; they’re the movies themselves, featuring all the films’ locations with interweaving lines depicting major characters’ passages through the movies.

Dear Daddy,
This is for leaving mommy home alone (while she’s still sick!) and going down to Baltimore for the Ravens vs Colts wild card game today. Because c’mon, wouldn’t you rather be home with this? 😉 You may also like: Spring Break in New Orleans New York Basketball Is Back It’s Been a Minute Power Issues
