Do you remember seeing those sexy black and white ads where a girl is laying on a bed with a white comforter and her very sexy boyfriend, shirtless of course, is painting her toe nails? I always remember wondering, “do guys really do that?” And I also remember wondering why the photo was so appealing [...]

More nostalgia after 11 months.
Posted in baby, change, parenthood on August 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It seems like only yesterday that I was on my way home from the hospital, riding in the back of my two-door coupe because we had yet to invest in our family sedan, while watching my newborn daughter sleep in her carseat next to me.
I do not have to try very hard to remember how [...]
10 years ago.

What feels like a million years ago I was a regular poster on a message board for my very favorite author at the time. I had read and re-read all of her books a gazillion times and still never seemed to get enough of the characters or their stories. One day I stumbled upon the [...]

From the National Endowment for the Arts. I c&p’d this from my friend Mommy of 1’s Blog.
The NEA estimates that the average adult has read only six of the following books.
1. Look at the list and bold the ones you have read
2. Italicize those you intend to read
3. Mark in red the books you love [...]
Family Trip to the Zoo!

This weekend we decided to take Sophia for her first trip to the Zoo. Since we were in West Palm Beach visiting my family we decided the smaller Palm Beach Zoo would be ideal. We did not count on the heat keeping all of animals in hiding, or asleep, but regardless we had an awesome [...]

On August 5, 2008 my very good friends Lisa and Greg welcomed their second child, Mason Anthony into the world. The new family is doing wonderfully! Big sister Lainey is completely in love with her new baby brother.
Mason weighed 7lbs, 3oz and measured in at 20 inches.
Welcome Mason – I cannot wait to meet you! [...]
Total Domination

Michael Phelps is the reason I am watching the Olympic games this year. I watch him in the evenings and read about him during the day. He is, to be cliche, a force to be reckoned with. Hell, forget that – no one can come close to even trying to “reckon” with him so I [...]
Happy 4th Birthday, Layla!

Layla was my baby before I had a baby. How many of you have had those? My friend Liz was the first of all my “local” friends to have a baby and I pretty much adopted Layla from the moment she was born. I was at the hospital the day she was born. I was at her [...]
Writer’s Block?

I haven’t been much in the mood to write about anything in the past week. I know, its unlike me to go so long without some blog but really – I cannot think of anything to say. Doubtless, now that I have put my block down in permanent digatal scripture in this manner something will [...]
Welcome to Parenthood. There is no map.

I may have said this before – but I think you have to kind of lose your mind a little when you become a parent. Maybe its just a first time parent thing? Moms and Dads of “more than one” – let me know! Seriously, you have to let go of some of what you [...]
