As promised, each day of my vacation I sent a picture a day from cell phone to blog for your viewing enjoyment. Before I left, in true geek fashion, I merged the initial mobile blog and my current blog and then I did a test send before I left to make sure it worked. Satisfied … More It’s hard out here for a geek
I have just discovered Mobile Blogging and have decided to attempt to share tidbits of this week’s beach vacation with you. I know you are all breathing a sigh of relief now. Look for grainy bad cell phone pictures from the South Carolina coast.
Those of you ahead of me in the motherhood journey will no doubt assure me that sleeping discomfort at almost 17 weeks is nothing compared to the discomfort I will encounter at 37, or even 27 weeks. Fine, whatever, I believe you. But–and I’m NOT complaining, just making an observation–the hours between 11 p.m. and … More To sleep, perchance to dream (about cereal in the closet and giving birth to kittens)

I forgot that yesterday was Solstice because I had no idea what day it was–as far as I’m concerned, the first sign that summer is truly underway. I … More Summer Solstice, advice needed, and a bunch of other random bits of my enthralling existence
I’m not really sure where to begin this LONG overdue post. I thought by the time I finally got up the nerve to write what I’m about to write, I’d be happy and relaxed and comfortable with “going public.” But I’m not. I’m shaking. My heart is beating fast. I feel like I should go … More Revelation
Imagine a sheepish look on my face. Imagine, even, that I’m on my knees, humbly bowed in an act of contrition. Even better, imagine this: There’s a scene in the movie “Forget Paris” where Debra Winger is trying to free a pigeon that has somehow managed to get itself stuck on one of those adhesive … More The one where I grovel and assure you all I’m still alive
