This morning, as I checked my Google Reader in usual fashion, I happened upon an update from Molly Piper. And I couldn’t. Stop. Crying. Some background… If you are a Protestant Christian living in America, there is a very good chance that you are familiar with John Piper. One of the most respected preachers and […]
With my last pregnancy, I was especially excited that so many people I knew were due within 3 months of each other. We shared our pregnancy symptoms, progresses, and worries with each other…and we were all certain that our babies would all become fast friends when they were born. Then I lost the baby.

Google Reader (or RSS in general) has become so indispensable in my internet experience that if a site does not offer an RSS feed, it’s likely that I’ll never return again. And although I do my best to keep my Google Reader subscriptions to a minimum, I still subscribe to hundreds upon hundreds of feeds. […]
A few years ago, Joshua Opperman made headlines when he created the website I Do Now I Don’t. I’d been engaged for three months. After a tough day at work, I came home to find that my fiancée and all her belongings were gone. Well, almost everything was gone. That beautiful diamond engagement ring was […]
I once knew a blogger who lived an enviable life. Not only was she gorgeous, her husband was extremely wealthy and handsome. She constantly wrote of her designer purchases, exotic getaways, and decorating their mansion with custom-made furniture and one-of-a-kind decor.

(Also, a major reason I have been MIA and probably will be for the next week or so…) Final Fantasy XIII was released earlier this week. I have only had time to play two days, but in those two days I managed to log over 26 hours of gameplay. I officially reached the halfway point […]
Last week, a NY chef made headlines by adding cheese made of human breast milk to his menu. The dish caused quite a stir and even managed to make its way to national news outlets. Those who tried the dish found it quite tasty; however, the general public found the mere idea of healthy adults […]
We will be leaving shortly for our second prenatal appointment. I am so nervous that hardly slept last night. I’m so scared that the doctor will once again tell us, “I’m sorry, but there is no heartbeat…” Please wish us luck! I will update as soon as I return. You may also like: Three Notes […]
Yesterday, I received a sample diaper in the mail. I’m not sure where they got my name and address (probably from one of the many online pregnancy communities to which I belong), but the gesture was appreciated nonetheless. “Do you know how to change a diaper?” I asked J. “No.” “Why don’t you practice on […]
The last time my sister came to visit, she asked if she could use J’s laptop to check her email. “Hold on, I’m almost done with my stuff. Why don’t you use my laptop instead?” “It’s ok, J’s laptop is right here; I’ll just use this one.” “Ermm…I don’t know the password to unlock his […]
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.
