  • Suber Bowl Note

    I find it a little funny and interesting that Ford chose an actor who once played a closeted gay football player on Queer As Folk to be a spokesperson for their Super Bowl ad.

  • Naming the Baby.

    He laid his head on my belly this morning and said, “Hello little baby, do you have ears?” “I think that happens soon.” “I thought of the perfect name for the baby if it’s a boy.” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah. I can’t think of a better name.” “What is it?” “Ndugu.”

  • A Personal Note

    I am not having a good time of this. I have felt awful for 24 hours straight. I have had a headache the entire time. My tummy is upset, just a constant state of not feeling well. If this is going to last for the next six months, I’m going to need some help not…

  • The Rage.

    I have a question for all those pregnant (or once pregnant) ladies out there. (Hell, even if you’re a guy and you know someone pregnant and can help out, feel free to.) Is it normal to experience fits of rage? Because that is what has been happening to me. If you need an example, I’ll…

  • Denouncing the Holy Spirit.

    “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.” [Mark 3:29] Brad sent me a link today. It’s a story featuring an idea addressing a growing theme among Americans today: Atheism. The Rational Response Squad came up with a project called “The Blasphemy Challenge” where they challenged…

  • Never Been a Truer Slogan.

    Cravings this week include: Mrs. T’s, Carvel ice cream cake, Jelly Belly, fries, peppercorn ranch dressing, hummus, cream cheese, veggie tacos, cinnamon buns, soysage, and pancakes.

  • Site Stuff.

    Alright, Internet, if that is your real name. It’s been a little over a week since we moved from Typo to Mephisto, and I’m curious as to whether or not there have been any problems since that switch took place. I know there was a commenting issue, sorry about that. I think it’s been fixed.…

  • Woe is Me at 33

    Today is my birthday and the biggest pair of pants I own no longer fit. Today is my birthday and it’s so cold out, my snot froze to my upper lip and I didn’t even feel it it was that cold. Today is my birthday and I tried to go to the gym. I walked…

  • Cocktail Playdates

    Melissa, over at Suburban Bliss, appeared on The Today Show recently to discuss a growing trend among some mothers called “Cocktail Playdates”. Here’s the skinny: the kid gets his or her juice box, the mother a glass of chardonnay. (MmmmmmMmmmmm, wine.) I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I see mothers and their children (or babies toddlers)…

  • Genetic Testing During the First and Second Trimester. (Simply Put.)

    I found out I was pregnant on November 21st, 2006. It is my first pregnancy. And I am a worrywart. I worry about everything. If there isn’t something to worry about, I’ll create something. The day I found out I was pregnant I started reading stuff online. Of course, my worrying eyes wandered toward the…
