NaBloPoMo #10

Last night K announced to me that the baby is late because it is a boy. This is a huge development in her world, since she’s been on Team Pink ever since we got pregnant.
I asked what made her reach this decision and she said that he’s “still growing his penis”. Now usually K would [...]

NaBloPoMo #9

We’re trying something new at the White house.
C and K (ages 9 and 5) are phenomenal kids. They are smart, entertaining, and learning. So we’re trying something new to show them the importance of responsibility.
Our house is not huge. Jeff and I take pride in the fact that we’re living well within our means, able [...]

NaBloPoMo #7…#8…

I am terrible at updating on the weekends. Despite how s.l.o.w. they are right now. This one, for instance, didn’t include much beside rest and relaxation. And Mexican food.
On Saturday Jeff auditioned for The Magic of Beauty & the Beast at Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theater. He was cast as the Beast and is really excited about [...]

NaBloPoMo #5…and 6…

Still pregnant.
I went back to work for a couple of hours yesterday to attend the mayor’s State of the City address, which was very well done. This was my 4th such address to attend and the best so far. He and his team (way to kill it, Blake and Trent) put together a presentation that [...]

NaBloPoMo #3

My titles are so original. And my posts are so entertaining. Luckily I don’t fancy myself a writer and haven’t called myself a “blogger” in a long time. Maybe posting every day this month will lead to being a “blogger” again. Maybe not. But it will at least be a nice snippet of my life [...]

NaBloPoMo #2

Today was my last official day at work until January 4th. It was much more emotional than I expected it to be.
We held our usual Monday staff meeting and then got the news from my parents that my “theatre grandmother” had finally gone home after a long fight with breast cancer. Even with those of [...]

The One Where There’s Peace.

Last week, we made two important purchases.
The first came on Monday. After months of deliberation, planning, and praying we made the deposit on a magazine. Jeff is now head editor and publisher of a small magazine, which he is excited and passionate about seeing flourish. And I am one proud wife.
Then, on Friday, we drove [...]

The One Passing Time.

Tick tock…tick.
Tock. Just waiting.
Bullets while I wait?
Ok!
Moved into my new office this week. Still have to hang art, add some lamps, finish organizing bookcases and such. This is the first time, ever, that I’ve had my own office. It feels good…the timing couldn’t be better.
We have about 7 weeks until our due date. Still dealing [...]

The One Where There Are No Words.

This morning I woke up to the feeling of swift kicks inside my tummy.
“Eleven and a half more weeks…” I told myself as I pulled up from the bed. The house was so quiet, with Jeff out of town and the kids with their mom like they are every Monday morning.
I poured my customary bowl [...]

The One Where Julie Meets Julia

I am one of those people that everyone says doesn’t exist…I’m the person who loves her job.
I don’t just say that, either, like many. I actually DO. I get up in the morning excited at the prospect of the planning, brainstorming, and organizing that will happen that day. Even when it’s bound to be a [...]
