Happy first birthday! It’s 12:02 a.m. as I write this and I can’t help but think about what I was doing at this time last year (walking around the maternity ward at the hospital, big as a house, and leaning against the wall each time a contraction hit.) It would be 7 hours [...]

Oh, interwebs. I think about you often. I use you for your informational purposes. I scour your sales, your giveaways, your coupons. I laugh at your jokes, at your snark and cry at your sad tales of woe. But do I contribute? No. Do I send you flowers? No. I am like the ultimate loser/user boyfriend.

/apologies.

We’re so out of toothpaste that we finished up our old tube and are now on our second travel-size tube.

Classes start this week at our venerable university and, as usual, it brings with it a whirlwind of activity — faculty meetings, lots of deadlines and an interruption every other minute. Last night, I couldn’t fall asleep because my brain and body were both nearly twitching as I went over all the things I needed [...]
