    Murray and I snuggle. He stands on my great big belly and I scratch him all over. And he has trouble keeping his eyes open. Eventually, I hypnotize him and he falls over. He wraps himself around my neck and falls asleep. And he purrs, oh boy does he ever purr. His purr calms me…

    I dyed my hair last night. I used one of those natural hair dyes, the kind deemed perfectly safe for a pregnant lady. I bought it at Whole Foods. Before I got pregnant I dyed my hair using the standard over-the-counter variety, the toxic kind. During my pregnancy, I’ve been going to the salon to…

    Judging by a couple of email I received yesterday in response to this post, I’m gathering that reading negative thoughts about New York City isn’t an easy pill to swallow for some New Yorkers. And to the folks who cried, “Well, then get out!” We’re trying. We don’t necessarily want to, we’d like to stay…

    It’s pouring in NYC. I haven’t seen rain like this in years. And of course the city is falling apart. Streets are underwater. The LIRR, Metro North, some of the subways (D, F, E to name a few), and all the major airports are barely functioning. The BQE is flooded. The Long Island Express is…

    Murray was dumped at a construction site in Williamsburg. He was motherless and barely a week old. He was found by a Hasidic developer and dropped off at BARC in a box along with his brother and sister. That’s how Murray came to be in this world. Yesterday, Lisa Cat (of BARC shelter fame) put…

    I am currently addicted to this site. (Thanks to Jen and Sarah!) I started this morning and I can’t stop writing reviews! And I have work to do today. Anyone care to join me? I only have two friends at the moment.

    I haven’t had my period since October. That means I haven’t had cramps for that long as well, and sometimes my cramps were very bad. Not having to go through that every 28 days has been one of the better parts about being pregnant. But the 9th month makes up for all the time spent…

    I woke up with a headache, cramps, and some intestinal issues. I don’t feel well. Had the worst night’s rest ever. The baby hasn’t dropped, which has a few people guessing that he’s coming after my due date (which is 3 weeks, 2 days away). Whatever my future holds, I need to pack a bag…

    I wrote a post a little over a week ago about my love for tar. My cravings haven’t subsided. The other day while watching Mythbusters, I noticed something very peculiar. A big part of the show takes place in a warehouse where they build contraptions for their many stunts. They recreate situations in order to…

    We made bean burritos last night. Tobyjoe made a salad to go on the side as well corn on the cob. I know. That might sound a little weird. It sounded weird to me. Corn on the cob doesn’t really go with bean burritos, does it? But Toby wanted to put corn in his burrito,…
