29. a photo of someone you find attractive The obvious choice, my husband. Interestingly, last night I dreamed about him. I dreamed that I went back in time, to six months before we even met. I was working at some phone bank type of job, and he worked there, too. I had a crush on […]

I ordered a new diaper bag for Freya last night. (click to enlarge) The one I purchased for her when I was only five months pregnant, while cute, is not as functional as I thought. it’s basically an open-top tote, a beach bag. It’s just one big compartment, a couple thin pouches inside, one zipper […]

Freya has learned to crawl! She’ll be nine months old in a week. Soon she will have spent more time outside of me than inside of me.

It’s the first full week of July, and our first actual Hot week of 2010. Last year, I think our first Hot week appeared some time in April. Oh well. Maybe this summer will creep into October. It’s more likely however that we’ll get another serious winter, with actual snow this time, like in 2008 […]

Thirty-two glass jars filled with herbs and spices and labeled with my p-touch. I call it my apothecary. Took everything out of the hall linen closet and refolded and stacked. Used a Martha Stewart tip and put each folded sheet set into one of its pillowcases — easier to stack and to take off the […]

Hurry up and get that baby into her own bed. Get her to Sleep Through The Night as soon as possible. Start feeding her solids at six months; she’s ready. Hurry up and grow up, kid. Start to walk, and talk, now! Start to draw logical conclusions about the world around you! “That baby needs […]

One of my oldest and dearest friends visited from SF yesterday. She’s on a whirlwind tour of the West Coast, via train, bus, and car. She actually spent the night here, in our temporarily cluttered guest room (I am piling garage sale items in there, our sale is in a couple weeks). As she was […]

I have a couple dozen bottles of nail polish in the hall closet. Pretty little colorful glass jewels, all needing a very good shake. For some reason, a year and a half ago, nail polish was very important to me. I would color my fingernails every week. I pounced on limited colors; I was very […]

Wednesday morning, we set out for a trip to Michigan. Our first leg was Seattle to Detroit. Somewhere between there, our pretty pink and gray Chicco stroller was smashed, breaking part of the frame off completely. Baggage handler dipshits. We couldn’t file a claim until our final dest., Saginaw. Showed the guy at the desk […]
