Friday, March 23rd, 2007Not too long ago Henry fell down and got a bump on his eyebrow/face area. There’s a teensy scar, but I’m pretty sure it’ll fade once we get him to the pediatric plastic surgeon. I told my Dad what had happened and this was his reply: Some time in the future Henry and I will [...]
“the magic of the holidays,” or “my underwear smells like smoke”
Monday, January 8th, 2007In keeping with the spirit of the slow rollout, here are some sorta-organized photos of our XXX-mas trip home. Most of them are of HGB; some are of a flaming dessert. Also recently uploaded: 23 photographs Jon took of himself with our camera while he was drunk. Good times.
“Progress as Promised.”
Saturday, January 6th, 2007Henry is turning into a tiny person, and I’d say it’s freaking me out, but frankly I’m too busy enjoying it to freak out about it. It happened almost entirely during our family XXX-mas Odyssey, probably some time during all the handling by the relatives and, I dunno, probably all the actual personal attention had [...]

Mr. Dearest
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006Every time I’m unemployed, I always think I’m gonna end up being a lot better at it than I turn out to be.
It’s a slam dunk on paper: My days free, I’ll wake up late, put on my clothes, take my credit card to the liquor store, and end up eating breakfast at noon. Then I’ll putter the afternoon away at the coffee shop, sporadically working on my novel and watching G.I. Joe clips online, capping my evenings off with some classic American cinema.
But it never pans out. Last time it happened to me, I was so preoccupied with money that I practically pulled my fingers off one by one, worrying about when I’d get work, when the enforcers from the credit card companies would show up, when the repo guys would come after my crappy 10-year-old used car. This time we’re in much better shape financially, having sold our house and part of my liver (I just keep growing more!) for a tidy profit, but of course now I’ve got Henry to take care of, which as any downtrodden Stay-at-home Mom can tell you, is pretty much the opposite of unemployment, only without the paycheck, and also you wipe a person’s butthole, which I’ve been lucky enough never to have had to do at any of my jobs thus far*.
Any stay-at-home parents are at this point officially encouraged to go read something else — not because you’re not welcome to read it, but because trust me, you’ve already heard all this shit before, and you don’t need to keep hearing it, I’m guessing; let it be officially acknowledged by this weblog that this entire post will consist of shit that’s been said before by better people than me.
* — Okay, fine, one time when I delivered pizzas, but how the fuck was I supposed to know it wasn’t expected of me for a tip? Look, fuck you, man.
a year of beans
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006Our sweet sweet boy Henry turned one whole year old today. I’m trying to figure this out, because he’s supposed to have been around for a year, but I’m pretty sure we’ve had him like, forEVER. I mean, I don’t know where to begin. Of course he’s changed our lives. Of course he’s the best [...]
More of the goodness.
Friday, June 16th, 2006“Thank heavens,” you must be saying. “More frickin’ baby pictures!” Well I’ll have you know there’s more to us than that. Why, here’s a picture of our first trip to IKEA! … and the line at IKEA. Let me tell you something, it is really, really best to visit IKEA on a day that doesn’t [...]

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006Man oh man, have I ever got some pixxx for youse persons. First and foremost, the awesome Amy Choppa and her awesome fella Matt came and saw us last Friday; naturally we took them to see the praying hands at ORU. Second and foremost, there are some fair to partly monumental early 90210 photographs you [...]
(Cough.)
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006So. I, um, understand some of you have at least a passing interest in photographs of our baby. You may find one or two on the other side of this here link. Y’know. If you’re into that kind of thing.
Right. So.
Tuesday, February 7th, 2006Have I mentioned we’re collectively kind of wiped tha fuck out lately? ‘Cause, for real. Lately that thing’s happening where after every weekend that passes, we’re more exhausted than we were coming out of the previous work week. (Erin, correct me if any of this does not accurately reflect how you’ve been.) This has largely [...]
