Here is a shot of Em on Splash Mountain with my mom and dad. Of course we had to buy a copy because every time I see it, I laugh. But the kid is terrified. I mean, look at his face. Terror. Pure terror. When he saw the picture, he said, “What’s wrong with me?” Kid,…

I have exactly 7 minutes before I have to pick up Em from school. I have 7 minutes to write about REM and how they broke up today after 31 years of making music together. Thirty-one years. I have 7 minutes to write about how much that band meant to me. I’m trying to cram…

Elliot and Toby. Elliot started laughing and smiling a week ago, which has made life all the more awesome. Elliot. Five weeks. (He turns six weeks today!) Emory and his latest black eye. He got this jumping over a broomstick. At one point, he tripped and hit the coffee table. I had warned him, and…

He’s amazing. He’s doing well. I’m so happy for my family. I will have more details soon! The labor was much…

It’s my birthday. I’m 37. I just baked myself a cake, ate a huge piece and now I feel like throwing up (again). Why do I keep doing this? Anyway, we’re not doing much. I was unable to move from 4 PM yesterday until noon today. I even missed pastry class, something I never do.…

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 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…

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…
