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 [...]

Or Really Good Things I’ve Discovered While Preggo:
Epsom Salts with Lavender; available at Publix and great for a soak.
Chewable Papaya Enzyme, which kicks heartburn’s butt.
Olay Definity. LOVE it.

Etsy. Always loved it, but now I have a baby to buy precious handmade things for. So my obsession is much worse.
Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal. It’s sad how [...]

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 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 [...]

The One Where LIFE IS CRAZY.

Belly Perk #347: People (mothers who stay at home, especially) have stopped telling me that I won’t “know busy” until I have a baby. Because yes…we’re not busy, I’m not a step-parent, I have no idea what it’s like. Sure, having an infant will add to our crazy life (the life in which I work [...]
