Eh. Okay, I tried to be funny. Guiding truths for my closet, adopted today. 9/8/7 (cool date!) A) Buying organic, free trade things and throwing out all my perfectly good clothes does not make me a better consumer, it makes me worse.

Yesterday I had that sucky realization that while my baby was laying beside me being cute as a pig in …. that I was more sucked into the computer than paying attention to him. When I’d read this a bit ago I knew it was striking a chord. I fell into a bad habit. I read the computer when I pump. A lot of times I pump right after Alex.. Read More

It was Easter season 2002. I had a good circle of friends, a good church, I was back in school and doing well, I had goals, I laughed deeply and really, really meant it for the first time in several years. I had good friends, and needed no dude to fill any of my places. So CLEARLY, I met a boy. THE boy. I met this boy at church (a.. Read More
I decide to look on the bright side of life and sunshine comes outta my ass what? But THIS is awesome.

Here is the tale of Good Good Stuff: The Good Good Stuff List originates from a float trip at church camp camp back in college. I was in a canoe with my best friend.. Read More
We went to the ped last week, and on the 4 month information they gave us was this line: “Many babies sleep through the night by this time.” Oh. My. Gaw. Now, I really should have asked for definition of terms of the word “many” and the phrase “sleep through the night” because what those words translated as in my exhausted “oh. my. gaw. I’m never getting a full night.. Read More
So, I’m in the process of registering a domain name and moving stuff around. It’s been on my mind for a while, and I want to do the BlogHer ads. Why? Well. 1) I think BlogHer does good stuff. The articles that tick through my reader are generally well written and intelligent. I get to read articles about current events that appear factual without the scary media shock n awe.. Read More
Oh today. Ohhhhh today. Oh woe is me. My baby won’t sleep well, I have to continually pump milk, my husband is on the road and won’t be home till late, I haven’t been able to prep dinner yet, the glass baby bottles I ordered showed up and I’m such a dumbass I ordered 4oz instead of 8oz and will now have to sell these on ebay and order new..
