The House

I am trapped on the toilet because the coffee I drank encouraged my body to grant ten seconds of warning before assplosion. And then the doorbell rings. I’m not expecting anyone, but I feel the pressure of someone standing just down the hallway impatiently waiting for me to answer the door. I also feel the [...]

Happy Columbus Day! I am a lot like our adventurous friend! We are both Italian. Well, I have an Italian grandfather. Who I used to tell my friends was in the mafia. Because otherwise he was just some old guy with an accent. Anyway, Chris and I both like to travel. We don’t like other [...]

Over the weekend Scott asks: Can I buy a hammock? Me: {shrugging} Sure. Scott loves relaxing and the hammock seems a perfectly easy way to make him happy. And here is our son enjoying the hammock.

Every time my son rounds this corner, he says: OH MY GOSH!: (First of all, my son says: GOSH! Coming from the womb and household of a Mama who spent a good chunk of third grade trying to get her BFF, M, to say: f*cksh*tf*cksh*tf*ckf*ckf*ck, this is amazing. Like a FREAKIN’ miracle. See what I [...]
