Yesterday, when I wrote about questions, I mistakenly left out the most fantasticallyawful question of all. Let me set the scene for you: It was my birthday. I was 39 weeks pregnant. My belly was so large under my tank-top that someone described my shirt as having to "work really hard". Put it this way: I was giving Baby Housman a ...
every party has a pooper
This afternoon, I had the distinct pleasure of watching a very special movie with some very special ladies. My daughter, my mother, my sister and I all cuddled up on the couch, and watched Father of the Bride: Part 2 as a steady rain pelted the house around us. I guess now would be a good time to ...
That’s how I know she loves me.
"This just came on TV. I didn't know they based a character off of you! Impressive." -The Sister [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Z8IdVwK5Y] Oh, and by the way, Princesses + Musical Numbers + Stephen Schwartz + McDreamy=I'm so there.
daddies are people, people with children
and daddies can go ca-razy too.

The Cream of the Crop
Tonight, I will be watching Top Chef. Tonight, my parents will be living Top Chef. Above is a photo just sent to me by my parents (apologies for the quality, 'tis Blackberry photo for you), capturing my dad with Kevin, from the current D.C. installment of the show. I'm sure that in, oh, approximately 55 minutes my phone will ring, with my ...
A Mitzvah
Look at what just showed up on my doorstep: You know those friends that I've mentioned who are more like family? Yeah, this one is a good one. She knows how crazy I am AND she still manages to love me. And, more importantly, she loves my daughter. Well, guess what, Kimmie... We love you, too. And, I can't wait to dance ...
Children Will Listen
It is no secret that I fancy Fairy Tales, Princesses and Musicals. Always have, always will. I did give my daughter a the name of a Disney Princess, after all. Well, I'm sure that it comes as no surprise that an all-time-favorite musical of mine is "Into the Woods", the Sondheim classic that chronicles what happens after "happily ...
Hey, at least my Ruby Slippers still fit. I hope.
Toto, we're not pregnant anymore. I had to remind myself of this fact tonight after my second helping of fried chicken and baby back ribs. There's no place like home.
