Pregnancy – The Don’ts
Boy is there a lot to keep up with in this department! There are a few obvious ones (no booze, no smoking), but no cold cuts? No hot dogs unless they are steaming hot. No blue cheese, unless it is cooked or pasturized. No runny egg yolks. No rare meat. No smelly cleaners. No caffiene…or…

Two Pink Lines
Well, it’s happened folks…Christopher and I are having a baby! We are thrilled! I had been wondering if this month was THE month and it turns out it was. Even though this has been the plan for a while now, I still felt surprised and a little disbelief when those 2 pink lines showed up.…

Like a Log.
Lately I’ve been sleeping really hard. I went through a phase about 2 months ago where I would wake up every couple of hours. Maybe that finally caught up with me because now I am out like a light and sleep in one solid chunk all night. I am also quite groggy in the morning…

Pressed
I used to be a Blogger blogger. Now I’ve made the switch to WordPress (with the help of my tech savvy hubby). This will be a little different but I think I will enjoy it more in the end. Blogger was good to me. We had what…10 years together? It was a good run, but…

Mushrooms

For as long as I can remember, mushrooms have been my biggest offender. “They taste like dirt.” “It’s like eating styrofoam.” These were the reasons I often uttered. But lately, I am singing a different tune. I’ve let them slip into certain dishes I eat…

Will you be mine?
Valentine’s Day is a nice reminder to tell the person you love that they are special to you. It is nice to show your appreciation for a loved one, but that is true any day of the year. Expecting roses, jewelry, candy and fancy dinners are the results of commercial brainwashing. I say, talk with…

Ally McSchpeeeel
Alright, I like it. I like Ally McBeal. It’s not the best show ever, I’ll be the first to admit that, but it is entertaining as all get out. I equate it to the “Law” edition of Grey’s Anatomy. Completely unrealistic, pretty odd characters, and no one is monogamous. I think my favorite part is…

Food for Thought
Here are a few random thoughts drifting through my mind lately: Why is it that all thrift stores smell the same? And all old people’s houses…what is that? Why does anyone feel the need to be condescending? Real butter is so worth the cholesterol. Individual, disposable serving cups of cereal are perfect. I rarely finish…
