Freebies List

On our drive back home from Atlantic City, I asked J which 5 celebrities would be on his “freebies list.” (Just in case you don’t know what a freebies list is, Urban Dictionary defines it as “A list of 5 celebrities who, should the opportunity arise, one is allowed to sleep with without it being […]

A Placeholder Ring for My Sausage Fingers

My pregnancy-induced swelling has reached a point where it has become difficult to take off my wedding ring set at the end of the day. (I’m not sure why, but I’m always fine at the beginning of the day, only to end up with fat stumpy feet and kielbasa-like fingers come nightfall. Can someone shed […]

A Weekend in AC

J and I are spending our weekend here… And seeing this man perform live tonight… Living just 2.5 hours from Atlantic City, my parents used to drag me and my sister here all the time when we were little. Being bored out of my mind on countless occasions has led to my distaste for “America’s […]

29 Weeks

(I need to really start making it a point to post these updates on time, as I am now almost 30 weeks.) As stated in a post yesterday, I’m starting to get really uncomfortable. My lower back constantly aches. My hands and feet swell so much at nighttime that I’m starting to have dexterity issues. […]

I Hate Being Pregnant [Confessions]

Yesterday J asked me when I would like to take my maternity photos. “I don’t know…next month? I don’t really care.” Then I realized…I really do care. But for the wrong reasons. Because the truth of the matter is, I don’t want to take them. Because never have I felt more unattractive in my life. Because […]

The Trend Toward 3-D Movies

Last night, J and I went on a “dinner and a movie” date night: a delicious meal at Red Lobster (I swear that their commercials are targeted for pregnant women!) and a late-night show of Inception (GREAT movie btw…perhaps the best I’ve seen all year!). While sitting through the previews, we couldn’t help but take special […]

The Return to Facebook

I will let this status update speak for itself… However, the main (and very selfish) reason for my re-activating my account is to easily share pictures and updates with family and close friends once the baby arrives. I probably won’t update nearly as much, and will go through my friends list to set different privacy settings. […]

Model Kit Business Cards

I wish I knew someone who works at Tamiya, the Japanese model-kit company, so they’d give me one of their business cards! At first glance the “cards” look like fancy stencilwork. However, once you break the letters from the frame and snap them together, you can either end up with a Formula One car, a warship, […]

Is Your Brain East or West?

Studies have long shown that people of different cultures act differently, but a paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicates that culture even affects our cognition. Take a look at the images above and try to interpret the overall emotion of the picture. Do your eyes linger on the center man in the […]
