  • Moving Pictures.

    The year was 1998. I was living in Washington, D.C. in a small, one bedroom apartment on 16th Street. I had just broken up with my boyfriend of 2 years. In less than 24 hours, our apartment was nearly emptied. I was living alone for the first time in my life. Missy and I decided…

  • Face Your Manga

    Do they look like us? (You may create your own here. Share them if you do! I’d love to see what you come up with!)

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 55)

    I always write these wordy Tuesdays With Murray posts. So I thought today I’d put up some pictures of the fuzzy feller instead. He’s just such a sweet boy. This is Murray. Here he is about to yawn. Here he is yawning. He really enjoys letting his balls or neuticles hang out in the afternoon…

  • One Year Old!

    We made it! We survived! Happy birthday Emory! (i am in the process of writing a lengthy post about everything that happened this year, but I’m also planning a birthday party. When we return to the city, I’ll post more.)

  • The Best and Worst

    Without further ado, I give you the best and the worst from items we purchased in August Oops! July. Are you ready? Awesome. Me too. The best thing I purchased this month was this stellar water bottle made by Camelbak. It’s BPA free. It comes in several different colors (and two sizes!) and you can…

  • We're Sick.

    Em isn’t feeling well. He’s come down with a cold. And I woke up with a sore throat today. We’re dead tired. I am shocked Toby made it to work in any reasonable form this morning. Em was up every hour all night long complaining and unable to breath. He’s really congested. We suctioned his…

  • Sesame Street Makes Me Like People

    One of the cool things about Em getting older is we now get to watch Sesame Street. We watch Sesame Street every morning. And I’m constantly amazed at who they have on. My mother assures me that it’s been this way forever, but I guess I’d forgotten (or I didn’t know any better at the…

  • The The Books.

    I just finished The Girls (thank you, Fran!) and The Road. Both were fantastic. The Road is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. It will haunt me until I’m dead and gone (or I become a babbling old person with a deteriorating memory). It was filled with such nightmarish imagery! It’s downright…

  • Vegan (Coconut) Ice Cream

    A few of you have emailed me asking about the vegan ice cream recipe I have. Tonight I’m giving vegan coconut ice cream a try. (The batter is currently chilling in the freezer.) I have high hopes for it, but who knows how it’ll turn out. Anyway, here’s the recipe I used: 5 cups coconut…

  • We're Back. Sort Of.

    Time Warner cable is out AGAIN. It’s been out since we returned home, no telling how long it was out before that. I’m wondering if this is a Brooklynwide outage or if we’re just really that unlucky. Either way, I am hijacking a neighbor’s wireless and it’s spotty. I’m here, the trip went well, and…
