I sent this email to a bunch of people. I’ve always wanted to start an email chain letter. Even though I loathe them. Here it is. Feel free to copy and paste and claim it as your own:
Subject heading: I Forfeit My Magical Powers
I have magical powers over certain people.
Until recently, I did not know [...]

A Banana In a Jello Mold
I don’t like to eat it, but I’ve always been fascinated a little by jello molds with fruit (even vegetables!?) suspended in them. It always looks like the fruit was caught right in the middle of something and stuck there in time, except for the little wiggling it gets to do. Like Hiro from the [...]

The IRL Project
I have a new project.
Like everything I’ve done thus far post-partum, I’m keeping it simple: spend more time with people face-to-face.
When my honey was home with Cakie, I was often jealous of her cafe time. I imagined her sitting in our one neighborhood cafe, chatting the days away with the baby gurgling on her lap. [...]

This Ought to Be Good…
My brother has a blog! Aaaaaaaah!
He’s funnier than I am with a more bizarre sense of humor. I always thought he’d end up on Saturday Night Live, but this has yet to come to fruition.
His blog is also more mulitsensory than mine. The lastest post includes his own person re-mix of “Safety Dance.”
Check it [...]

Babypushing 101: The Shiny New One
That’s what Cakie calls our Phil & Teds sport stroller with the doubles kit.
I’ve been drooling over this stroller for years. At first, I was concerned that the child in the bottom seat doesn’t have a very good view, ie, his brother’s butt. So I started to look at the kids I saw riding in [...]

One Year Ago, Yesterday
I was at the end of my TTC rope.
I was ready to give up.
Maybe I would try one more time without drugs with a yet-unidentified fresh donor, but that was it.
I was ready to start begging my straight friends for just a little bit of their husbands’ baby juice.
I was so happy I already had [...]

Dear Trucker, (3 months)
Dear Trucker,
Yes, those feet belong to you. How cool are they? Just stuck right there on the ends of your legs. Wow.
And toys? Yes. Those baby toys are yours as well. Ok, so your brother still likes to play with them, too, especially the floor gym. This month you’ve discovered toys. And let me tell [...]

What We Didn’t Know The First Time
Yesterday, my honey and I took a hookey day.
That is, she took a vacation day and we still sent Cakie to daycare and we took the baby clothes shopping (since he doesn’t know that he hates it yet.) We both no longer fit into our old clothes. Well, I threw mine away after I liked [...]

Coming Out
Happy Coming Out Day!
Cakie has a new game in which he slams the bifold doors to my kitchen when I’m inside and says, “Mommy, you stay in the closet.” And I reply, “No way! Mommy doesn’t like to stay in the closet. She likes to come out.” (I don’t know where he got the “in [...]

A Few Words About Sleep
Cakie stumbled out of his room about 45 minutes after he started his nap. He walked over to the ottoman, lay on his stomach, stuck his butt up in the air, and fell back asleep. He’s still asleep on the ottoman two hours later. Am I willing to wake him up in an effort to [...]
