    It’s 10:55 AM. I’m writing from my iPhone. I’m starving. I’m sitting in the waiting room at my OBGYN waiting for my final blood draw which takes place at 11:47. I’m starving. Did I mention that? I drank the cola flavored drink today. A first for me. It wasn’t terrible but that could be the…

    I just got a call from my doctor and I failed the 1-hour gestational diabetes test. I’m not yet going to worry too much about it because I seem to remember this being a common occurrence, and women go on to pass the 3-hour test. But I am curious. If you’re reading this and you…

    I have so many posts drafted. And when I go to publish them I imagine the backlash I might receive and I decide it’s not worth it. Because at some point during the last two years, I changed. It occurred to me recently that I’m a part of a blogging group I know next to…

    This could very well be some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. But I’m a terrible judge of food right now. You could hand me a buttered Saltine and I’d rave about it. Anyway, these are great. My son gobbled them up. And they’re easy to make. (Please note: I used my iPhone to…

    I woke up at 6:30 AM. Fed my kid. Showered. And then headed to school where I spent all day on my feet and baking. I got home at 6:00 PM excited to put my feet up and let some of the fluid drain out of my ankles only to discover I’d sold a whole…

    Earlier today I went in search of a live recording I’d made at a Mountain Goats show back in 2005. It was a Halloween show. It was at The Knitting Factory. And it was amazing. And I recorded the entire thing. But that’s not what this post is about. I’ve gone through a few computers since…

    I am writing this from my iPhone on my way home from school. I have less than two hours to finish a post for today. So here’s some stream of consciousness. N/R platform. 10:19 PM. Just leaving school. It smells of severely dehydrated bum piss and rat poisoning. On train. It smells of booze and…

    Toby Joe and I have been stressing out about our living situation again. We live in a tiny apartment. We pay a lot of money for a tiny apartment. And the rent is set to go up 200 bucks in December. Between that, the size of the place, and the fact that we’re about to…

    I voted yesterday. I brought Em with me and we voted together. I thought we’d turn it into “A Thing”. I’d teach him what it means to vote; take him into the booth with me; introduce him to democracy. We’d share an American moment—mother and son. So we set off at 8:15 AM. But I…

    It was brought to my attention recently that some people believe we have only one cat. And that made me sad. I do realize that I don’t talk about our other 27 cats very much, but they are all loved equally. OK, that last bit was a lie, they aren’t all loved equally. OK, that’s…
