I just bought two nonstop airplane tickets from Washington DC to San Francisco for under $500. Total. I just got a reservation for two at Le Bernadin on a Friday night with less than three weeks notice. A couple of weeks ago we finally broke down and bought the DSLR I had been coveting for [...]
Overheard
May 29, 2009
Just when I decided another day was going to go by with nothing new to write about. Just when I decided that I was either going to post a the picture my husband took in Chinatown of a 5 lb. bucket of duck sauce that he was found sitting near some cat carriers (oh how [...]

Sick of Christianity? Is Judism boring you? Do you enjoy Islam, but don’t want to give up bacon? Try the new Twilight religion – Cullenism.
got twins?
May 23, 2009
I actually have a t-shirt that says “got twins?”. It is from a fundraiser for my mothers of multiples club. I’ve been thinking about it because my blog friend Nora is due to have her twins any minute now. I am supposed to be giving her advice on children’s books for her blog shower (my [...]
Penis Envy? Not Me.
May 21, 2009
As a woman, there are certain things about being a man that mystify me.

Preemptive Nostalgia
May 19, 2009
I am starting to get nostalgic about my preschool. Well, not MY preschool, but The Goon Squad’s preschool. I feel like I just got a grasp of the whole routine. I am sad that I only have two co-op days left. I am going to miss the teachers. Picture from Claudia’s school ballet recital. Yes, [...]

I’m a little Verklempt.
May 12, 2009
Five years ago, on this very day, the doctor pulled two people out of me. They were born almost six weeks early. Ian was only six pounds, eight ounces but next to Claudia he looked huge. She wasn’t even five pounds when she was born. She was so tiny I was afraid to change her [...]
The Brainwashing Continues
May 11, 2009
The ads on Cartoon Network are truly infiltrating my kids minds. Ian has a friend over and I just witnessed this conversation. Greg: Oh look! Bendaroos! Ian: We’re not old enough for those. Greg: No, they are for kids of all ages. Claudia: You only have to be 18 to order them. * Proof that [...]
