Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Oh what a difference some Zoloft, a dog, and a couple of months of introspection can make! Tomorrow, I attend the baby shower of my friend whose pregnancy announcement last fall served as the final straw in my months-long downward spiral. I wanted to be happy for her at the time, and on one level I [...]

As my regular readers can attest, I. Am. Not. A. Baby. Person. But, wouldn’t you know, on a visit to Mara after The Baby was born, he actually didn’t scream bloody murder when I held him! In fact, he fell asleep. Bizarre child. Can you imagine? Which is when my friend’s husband asked if I [...]

Someone told me the other day that they thought I’d make a “great parent.” I have no idea what prompted this statement from them. One minute I’m nodding my head in mock-understanding of their child ferrying travails, and the next they’re envisioning me as a Mommy. They didn’t even buy me dinner first. GASP! Generally, [...]

Registry print-out in hand, I charged into Target, plowing past the rows of carts. I’m only just getting a few baby items, I thought to myself. No need to make the trip cumbersome! On my way to the baby section, I reviewed my notes and highlighted options. I was prepared; I had pre-shopped online. I [...]

So there I am, driving along in my boyfriend’s car (which he is so kind as to lend me whenever I choose to drive rather than take the train to work), smiling at all of the Little Faces out for their morning walks, singing along to Lady Gaga (Teeth), you know, generally minding my own [...]

Can someone please explain to me what the hell a “Couples Shower” is? Because I just don’t even know anymore. My friend Mara, the same one who got married in all kinds of annoying ways, who went AWOL after ascending to the state of wifedom, and who is now in the family way; has sent me [...]
