A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
“July bird-day! Bird-day keck.” That’s what Max would say when we got to the month of July, whenever we sang his special song naming all the months of the year. I’d told him that Daddy’s birthday was in July, and that apparently really resonated with him. I wondered aloud sometimes if he really understood that [...]
Max is home sick today. :( Doesn’t seem too bad, though, but he did have a fever and was up much of the night. I’ve been up since 4!
At work now but I’ll probably head home this afternoon to help spell Conrad.
I’m royally pissed because I just FINALLY got a chance to write a new [...]
Had one of those lovely stress dreams about school. I was in an English class I hadn’t been to in weeks. I couldn’t even remember where I sat. When another student (”played” by my coworker, Daniel) showed me, I was annoyed that the desk was wobbly.
Before the teacher came in I saw everyone else taking [...]
Today, Conrad and I have been married for 8 years.
You get married and people say, “It’s going to be work. You have to stay on top of the romance. You have to communicate, forgive each other, be each other’s best friend.”
If only that were all it was!
Getting married was like stepping onto a bumper car [...]
My nephew commented recently on an entry here that Max is so big, he feels like “Life is zooming past our door.”
I have a day off and just watched Marley and Me. Intellectual snobs would hate it. It’s just simple.
I always say I’m not an animal person. They are so difficult, and so messy, and [...]
Last night Max threw the biggest tantrum I’ve seen him throw in a while. We had had a great weekend, and Saturday night we had all stayed up till midnight. It was so much fun. I made him a midnight snack of a quesadilla and we all just played on the bed. Conrad and I [...]
I felt so sorry for London last night, who got ousted from America’s Next Top Model, in no small part because she put on ten or fifteen pounds. I know exactly how she feels, when she said “I just keep gaining!” I get into spots like that, where everything just seems to stick to me. [...]
Conrad and I had a sandwich yesterday at Z’Tejas, but we never got to it because we were full from the salad we split. So we brought it home and are sharing it tonight for dinner.
For some reason this puts a huge smile on my face. Splitting a sandwich with my husband - one entree, [...]
Just in time for Christmas, Max broke his toe.
“The little lame boy - how is he?” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol.
He has to wear this walking boot for a week at least. You can’t believe how brave he’s being. It’s unreal. He goes on just like nothing happened. Drags this clunky thing several miles [...]
You can just tell he’s a good guy. The abs are impressive, yes, but he’s been married 13 years to a REAL woman, and he works super hard, and he’s adorable. I just saw him on The View and was totally swooning. Who doesn’t love Hugh Jackman!!?
No, Conrad isn’t home yet. Thanks for asking.
No, I [...]
