My husband: Are you ready for a flood of emotions? Me: Um, yes? My husband: I took down the crib. … but, but, but, this is the crib we chose, the safest (hardest) mattress, butterflies and dragonflies, lime green and peach, sky blue and bubblegum pink, hand-painted trees and cherry blossoms, tiny hands clutching fingers, [...]

The back reads: IN 20 MINUTES. Which shows he is aware how impatient I am.

I’m 33 years old today, and I have decided to hate my birthday. This isn’t my normal reactions to birthdays.

Monday night at the dinner table: Scott: You need to work on your calcium intake. Me: What do you mean I need to work on my calcium intake? Scott: You have all that history of osteopenia. Me: Not anymore! I fixed it! Scott: Well, I don’t want someone all bent up. I’m not putting up [...]

She stops her mower, walks over to him and replies: This is his 40th birthday present. That seems to satisfy [...]

I try my hand at vlogging (video+blogging). Because there’s something I need to show you and my photography skills are not good… enough. Oh and I accidently break my husband’s blog-onymity.
