Oh joy! I just hope these folks, whoever they are, don’t get caught. Also, I wish I could have seen this. Sigh. Sarah, this one is for you lady…
Oh, surprise... we gots problems! (Click here for... →
I’ve been griping about the public transportation in this country for a long time. I wasn’t aware how bad the drinking water situation was. I agree with this article about building fewer roads and more public transit. If you don’t give people options, they’re still going to drive. I need convenient incentives not to take my comfy car to work every day, you know. I...
More progress...
Ah, 28 weeks. Not the sequel to that awesome movie 28 Days, but the week I currently find myself in regarding this bizarro world also known to some as pregnancy. (I think they should change that term “pregnancy” to “weirdest crap you will ever go through”). Maybe that’s just me. I doubt it. So, what does all that week talk mean? It means we have entered the 3rd...
Dear Colette...
Dear Colette,
Since I can’t see your face, I’ll do what most people do when they long to see some one’s face that they cannot. I’ll write you a letter. No matter that you can’t read yet, you’ll be able to one of these days. For now, I just wanted to put down a few things that I’ve been thinking about.
First of all, from your very inception,...
So... what else?
I swear, I have a personality beyond this pregnancy. It’s just… hard to find. I mean, I’m about to be solely (OK I have a helper) responsible for a human life. A freakin’ itty bitty vulnerable miniature totally helpless human life! Um, whoa! So I’m a little bit consumed you see.
Oh, I think I’ve mentioned here before a few times how weird this crap is,...
Pregnancy & Professionality
They don’t really go hand in hand. This morning is my first day back to work in 2 weeks. It’s a long story, but basically we were slow and there wasn’t enough to warrant me coming in lately. Boo.
Whatever, so here I am, it’s only been one hour that I’ve been back…
I’ve already hic-burped in front of my boss. (AWESOME).
And let out an audible fart in...
Ed is wondering which is more powerful: Unicorn...
Nicole Labry at 11:17am January 8 No, sir. I want to discuss this with YOU. As if there’s ANYTHING more powerful than unicorn anything. Psssh! You hafta understand… they poop GUMDROPS.
TessAnderson at 11:22am January 8 that acid you just dropped is obviously more powerful than both.
Ed Swanick at 11:50am January 8 I sat through Legend (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/)...
Used kids items: all going to the landfills! Click... →
So, uh… our federal government just passed a law that as of next month all used kids’ toys and clothing will be thrown away unless tested for leads and phthalates.
I’m torn. I mean, on the one hand I’m furious over the monumental amount of waste this is going to generate. And here I am trying to get people to give used gifts only at my upcoming baby shower!!! Grrrr.

Moms: soon I shall join ye ranks.
And let’s just talk for a minute about how weird motherhood seems to be. Yes, mom, I know you read this, hi! I’m not going to go crazy here and cross any embarrassment boundaries. But you’re a mom, so you must know that your kids think that some of the things you do or say are hilarious or odd because you thought the same about your mom and certainly she thought the same...
Hiccups
I get them every day. But… only one at a time. Weird, right? Occasionally I’ll have 2 at a time, but it’s rare. Rarer still is the hic-burp that I sometimes have. It’s like a hiccup and a burp all in one spastic in-out. Sooooo attractive!
Also, I’m pretty sure Colette had the regular kind of hiccups last night. That was pretty funny.
17 POUND BABY
So, Colby keeps singing this song that goes something like this
(to the tune of “Cat Scratch Fever”):
12 POUND BABY!
DOO DOO DOOO!
12 POUND BABY!
DOO DOO DOOOOOOO!
And I’m like, are you trying to curse me? I mean, the man is 6 foot 2. And I am, well, not. So it’s times like this when I see an article like this and kinda soil myself:
