This is a yet another post on mommy wars, specifically topic #4276: registries. With our baby shower less than a month away, J and I have been putting the finishing touches on our registries. In my studies of review sites and message boards for advice, I have come across many women who seem to have […]
I had never heard of “push presents” before getting pregnant, but it has come to my attention that it is another heated debate among moms (as if we don’t have enough to disagree on already!). A “push present” (also known as a “push gift” or “baby bauble”) is a present a new father gives a new […]
(In addition to the possible suffocation and tailbone issues, that is…) I have a confession to make. I have never stated this publicly because it is a condition that has plagued me for all my life. I was made constantly fun of as a kid because of this, and I still am very sensitive about […]
This past weekend I fell sick with a cold. I was secretly terrified, because the last time that I had gotten sick, I had also worried about how horrible the baby growing inside me must be feeling if I‘m feeling this bad…and just a few days later, found out that the baby had passed. Needless […]
Last night, J and I watched the old episode of How I Met Your Mother which talks about the Murtaugh List. Urban Dictionary defines the Murtaugh List as: A list made famous from the TV show “How I Met Your Mother” inspired by Danny Glover’s charater Roger Murtaugh in the movie series “Lethal Weapon.” Murtaugh’s catch phrase in […]
Yesterday, I read an article in USAToday stating that the recent wedding of Chelsea Clinton, a Methodist, and Marc Mezvinsky, a Conservative Jew, reflects the growing rate of inter-faith marriages in the US. Congrats to the happy couple — Chelsea Clinton looks to be positively glowing…and what a gorgeous gown! According to the article: Two […]
Yesterday, author Anne Rice caused quite a stir when she publicly announced on her Facebook page that she has decided to “quit” Christianity. For those who care, and I understand if you don’t: Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being “Christian” or to […]
Have I mentioned that I’ve been having dreams of drinking a cold, frothy beer? And I wake up happy and thirsty for more, only to realize that I still have at least 2 more months to go before I can indulge in my beer cravings? (Yes, I’ve tried non-alcoholic beer. And yes, they suck donkey […]
I now have less than 10 weeks left until my due date! But when you think about it, I’m only 3/4 of the way done, which makes me think with an exasperated sigh, “That’s it??” The impatient side of me wants this baby out NOW. The discomforts of the third trimester continue, and I really really envy […]
Circle Lenses are special contact lenses that are designed to make the wearer’s irises appear larger, creating a doe-eyed, anime-like appearance. Many in the western world first became acquainted with them when the NYTimes and The Inquisitr recently ran pieces warning consumers of their potential dangers. The fact of the matter is, Circle Lenses have been around […]
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.
