Recently I have even been called out (in the wedding blog world) for advocating creativity and individuality when my own wedding was so “cookie-cutter.” I know that making your wedding one-of-a-kind and unique is the trendy thing to do these days. However, J and my wedding was fairly traditional and conservative. Thinking back to our […]
Donations via Guilt
Every few months I receive the Johns Hopkins Magazine in the mail. I pore over each issue with a cup of joe, reading it cover to cover to keep afloat on the latest from my alma mater. Who am I kidding? It usually ends up in the recycling bin, untouched. And, like indigestion is sure […]
The Baby Dance
Earlier this week I met with my OB to discuss some questions that had been plaguing me; mainly, why the heck can’t I get pregnant again? Before getting pregnant my periods were like clockwork: every 27 days, lasting 5 days. I think I’ve had only a handful of instances in the past decade where I […]
Upward-Facing Dog
When my dog Comang is at his most comfortable, he likes to flip onto his back. (Please excuse the quality of these pictures, as most of them were taken with camera phones.) He has no shame, that one, fully spreading and baring his genitals for all to see. Sometimes I’ll even join him… (but in […]
A New Year’s Wish
This is a week late, but… Happy New Year! I’ve been incredibly busy and overwhelmed the past few weeks — so much so that I have eschewed Facebook (gasp), Google Reader (the horror!), and even blogging. I still have a busy week ahead, but I hope to get back to my regularly scheduled programming within […]
Doggy Back Jacket
I have never been the type to adorn her pets with nonessential clothes or accessories. And although Comang is a shih-tzu, we keep his hair short because it is easier to maintain. However, as we enter our first winter together I am a bit worried that my little guy will suffer from the frigid northeast […]
Flirting Your Way Out of a Ticket
Earlier this week I was pulled over for speeding. I confess I was in the fault by driving well over the posted speed limit; however, in my defense I was dead tired from working on my feet all day and the 1-hr drive back home seemed to stretch forever. I knew that having this incident […]
One Single Line
This morning I decided to pee on a stick. I was so certain I was pregnant again. I had all the symptoms of the first pregnancy: constant nausea, never-ending fatigue, irritability, and sore, swollen boobs. Nevermind the late period. Or the fact that J and I had been having consistent unprotected sex for the past […]
A Haunting Dream
It starts with a night out on the town with friends, drinks, and laughter. We commence our drive back home. It is 4am. The roads are predictably clear and we cruise along at a carefree speed. We exit the tunnel and continue on to the big curve ahead. We have made this drive hundreds of […]
The Ultimate in Graphic Design
One of the biggest gripes shared by most creative professionals is that essentially, they’re working to create other people’s visions. And that your client’s design aesthetics may not always agree with yours…or worse, they may have no taste at all. via BuzzFeed It is precisely for this reason that websites such as Clients From Hell […]
