I have often felt like my experience on September 11, 2011 and the subsequent days were different than others. I still called friends in New York to be sure they were okay. I still was saddened and confused and eventually, strengthened in my resolve to believe in the ideals of the United States of America. [...]

I’m 33 years old today, and I have decided to hate my birthday. This isn’t my normal reactions to birthdays. I’m a HUGE fan of cake, balloons, cake, cards, cake, presents and cake (yellow cake with buttercream frosting please). My birthday means sleeping in, sushi for dinner and my phone rings, but I’m under no [...]

Dear Scott, You turned 33 about a week ago. And we celebrated by making a cake and frosting from scratch and using said frosting to fill in the grand canyon that formed in the cake. Oh, and I think that we watched soccer. I remember being very bored for about 90 minutes in the middle [...]

I love fireworks. The noise, the colors, the crowds. It’s like a rock concert but without the moshing (do people still mosh?) The last time I went, I looked like this: And I haven’t been back since it turns out fireworks in the summer are two hours past my kid’s bedtime and if your kids [...]

Thanks to my awesome husband and a stomach virus, I celebrated Mother’s Day this Saturday. And it was fantastic. I woke up late (okay, 8:45 a.m. {sigh}) and was taken around the house to read little cards of love to me. Then my daughter gave me two presents (not all on the same day but [...]

Happy Mother’s Day! I had a stomach virus! It started out with me telling Scott that I felt pregnant and ended up with me on the toilet in between trying to sleep all day. Which is EXACTLY like pregnancy except my virus will last for 2 days instead of 280! (Wow, my site really IS [...]
