send doritos. please.

Hello.
I am so fucking hungry.  And it’s not that I am not eating… 22 daily Weight Watchers points isn’t a small amount of food.  It’s just that I am craving stuff that is bad for me delicious.  Like warm, fudgy brownies.  Or a whole effing box of pasta, with some fresh grated cheese and olive [...]

i am typing with only one hand tonight.
my little boy woke up crying, but nothing seemed to help him calm down.  he’d curl onto my shoulder and sleep, but the minute i put him down he’d cry and reach for me.
now he’s in bed next to mama, while daddy is out getting his new game [...]

Diets suck… but you guys are great

I’m now on day 2 of my Thin Thursday quest.  So far, it’s working the way that I hoped it would.  Every time I wanted to cram something in my mouth that wasn’t good for me, I remembered what I posted here, and the fact that I’m putting a picture of my (currently) fat ass [...]

Thin Thursday

I’ve been struggling with this issue for a while and finally decided that I need to air out my thoughts here.  Normally this blog functions as a digital diary for me, since I stink at keeping a handwritten journal.  But now, I need to use this blog for something more than just ‘can you believe [...]

10 years

I graduated high school in 1998.  TEN years ago.  It’s hard to believe it has been that long, because it sure doesn’t feel like it’s been ten years.
I had a bit of a reality check today, though, when I returned to my old high school.
Background to this:  I did a lot of singing when I [...]

gag

I just walked into the bathroom to see why Aiden had walked in there and was being so quiet.
Um, I forgot to put the lid on the toilet down.
And he had taken one of his washcloths off the side of the tub.
And he had dipped the washcloth in the toilet water.
And he was sucking on [...]

all the cool kids are doing it

I recently started using Google Reader.  And, oh my god, why didn’t any of you tell me to do this before?  I’m in love. 
You know how I used to read updates to the many blogs I like?  By saving each blog as a favorite and clicking on each and every link.  No wonder I felt [...]

uhh… 10 months? and bonus cruise pics

Well, imagine my surprise when I realized that I never wrote Aiden’s 10 month letter, and now it’s nearly time for me to write his 11 month missive.  Oops, sorry about that, little guy.  It’s a testament to just how busy we’ve been, I suppose.
But, no time like the present!  Let’s reflect on what a [...]

some random crap of the reality tv variety

The Biggest Loser!  Ali won!! I love her.  But she’s making me feel like a big fat slob now.  Girl’s down to like 120 pounds and she did it so fast!  And she kicked Roger’s boo-tay, didn’t she?  Love it.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again.  I really need to get off my [...]

The reluctant gardener

I’m sitting here typing and figured, why the hell not post to the blog?  After all, Aiden’s occupied here in the office while I’m on the computer.  He’s pulling all the books off the shelves and operating as my own personal paper shredder.  And he takes his job seriously.  Yesterday he spit up a little [...]
