Alexa on Awareness

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

If you are not reading Alexa’s blog, well, I don’t know what to tell you. She’s pure genius. And heart. And humor. In no particular order. Not to mention she provides photographs of her scrumptious baby with gorgeous pillowy cheeks and legs that I want to much on like so many buttered rolls.

Daring Bakers Say “Cheese,” and I’m all “wait, wait, I wasn’t ready, I think my eyes were closed, can we do it again?”

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I’m not sure I’ll ever be on time or do anything right again. I’m at that point in my life where that sentence is not too much a stretch of the truth.

We’ve been surviving on take out Thai food, chicken fingers (Sports Fan) and cheese and crackers (me) and I wanted to [...]

Funny Girl Grows Up and She’s Not So Funny Any More… but SHOES

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

And here is where I was going to put the picture of an ultrasound. Somebody else’s ultrasound. No, I’m not pregnant. I guess that would have been a funny April Fool’s joke to me and maybe a few other people, but not to everyone.
This month’s theme for NaBloPoMo is Growing (UP). I’m not foolish enough [...]
