Dear Hulu, Thanks for even having a Korean Dramas section. I really appreciate it. And thank you for spotlighting the Korean Dramas genre on your front page today: But wait. Something isn’t quite right. Can it be that the first “Korean” drama you featured is The Legend of Bruce Lee? Just to make sure, I […]
Vanishing Fruitwash Labels [A “Why Didn’t I Think of That?” Invention]
One of my biggest pet peeves is the annoying labels that grocery stores stick on their produce. I get that there needs to be a way to label the items. But they just seem so wasteful and bothersome…and it’s the worst when they are difficult to remove, sometimes even leaving behind a sticky residue! Enter designer/inventor Scott […]
Another Discussion About My Boobs
So last night, after my freak-out, I tried my best to calm my nerves by doing what comes most natural to me at 2am: surfing the web. And by the dim light of my laptop, I noticed something interesting about my nipples. (I have been sleeping topless for the past month or so, because this is […]
Aaahh Freak Out! (Whereupon Le Freak Ain’t So Chic)
So with two weeks left to go until BebeDeux’s due date… We got a flat tire on our only car. And we discovered the tools needed to replace a flat were missing from our trunk. J’s company essentially screwed him over and the raise that he was promised came to be a lot less than […]
Don’t Be an A$$hole Driver
A few months after I first received my driver’s license, I tried to park my car in a very tight spot and ended up scratching the adjacent car. The scratch was barely noticeable: two faint lines just 2″ long on the corner of the bumper. I am pretty sure that if I had tried to buff […]
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Claire seems to be doing much better this morning. Her fever is gone, she no longer cries out from pain, and she is finally eating. I did not sleep a wink last night from worrying over my sick daughter. Since my in-laws have arrived early this morning to help with the baby, I will now attempt […]
An Ear Infection, and 38 Weeks
Our Claire Bear has an ear infection. 🙁 She woke up several times last night, which we had attributed to teething, and this morning flat-out refused to eat. Then, she woke up from her morning nap with a fever and proceeded to just cry and cry. Coincidentally, Claire’s 1-year pediatrician visit was scheduled for later […]
How to Find Kentucky on the Map
When I was in 3rd grade, I became the first person in my class to memorize all the states and their capitals in alphabetical order. I was also the first to correctly identify each state on a map of the United States. Sadly, that was the peak of my geographical knowledge. I can now only correctly […]
So This is What They Look Like on the Inside…
Yesterday, we discovered 2 new teeth in Claire’s mouth — one on either side of her top front teeth — making for a grand total of 6 teeth at the age of 12 months. (So far, all of her teeth have come in pairs. Is this normal?) The best part? She did not exhibit any […]
ONA’s Roma Camera Insert Bag Review and Giveaway!
Sorry, this giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced here shortly! Late last year, the web was abuzz with the introduction of a laptop + DSLR bag that was not only functional and well-made, but beautiful as well: the ONA Union Street Bag. I knew it would be perfect for my fashion-conscious husband, who commutes […]
