Who you callin’ shorty?

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

The other day, I pointed out an actor on a commercial to GTB. He just happened to be at the Matador at 21 show we went to in Vegas a few months ago. When I saw him in Vegas, I recognized him immediately and then marvelled at how much shorter he appears in person.
The commercial […]

Shrek and my sensitive daughter

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Regular readers of this blog, and anyone who’s known me for more than about five minutes, know that I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to anything remotely horror-related. In many ways, I’m fearless: I’ll jump out of a plane, drive in Manhattan, speak in front of large groups of strangers. But […]

A detail-oriented self-starter with absolutely no proofreading skills

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

I recently got a little promotion at work. Mostly, it’s a title change, because with the economy being what it is, a pay raise was out of the question. But I’m still excited about it, so I ordered new business cards with aplomb.
Now, it’s rare that anyone asks for my business card. And because I […]

Too Much Princess

Monday, November 8th, 2010

After that fateful night a few weeks ago, we have watched “The Little Mermaid” every day. I was losing my mind a little and decided to try some other movies she might like. “Finding Nemo” wasn’t the slam dunk I thought it would be. “Monsters, Inc.” did nothing for her. We even tried “Snow White,” which she liked, but she would exclaim “This is scary!” about every two minutes while watching it.

But it’s a high-functioning kind of crazy

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Not that I’ve ever really doubted it, but I’m pretty sure I have anxiety. Like, generalized anxiety. It’s anxiety when the crazy thoughts happen and they keep you up at night and distract you significantly at work but you can pretend you’re not debilitated by them and most people believe you, right?
Well, right now, I […]

Teachable Moments

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Last weekend, while discussing how precocious Signe is and what, if anything, we should do to help encourage that, my mother-in-law asked if we had looked into any Montessori preschools. We haven’t, for a few reasons.
They tend to be expensive.
They tend to be hard to get in to.
I’m not convinced they do any more […]

Battle of Wills

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Signe got a set of table and two chairs for Christmas from Santa. Her favorite game lately is crawling on the chairs knees first and then standing on them. If I’m not paying attention, she says “Hi!” until I am. But most of the time, I am paying attention and before she fully extends her […]

34

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

When, as a kid, I pictured myself as a grown up, I envisioned a mature, pretty lady wearing a nice sweaters and slacks with killer boots, working at a cool job, being deeply in love with an attractive blonde man, and carrying a baby on her hip. And this grown up I pictured was always […]

How I cope with the “Civil War”

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Glass of wine #1: Signe has gone to bed, time to clean up the toys, turn on the game, and be a grown up.
Glass of wine #2: This game is so stressful, I have to have another glass.
Glass of wine #3: We won! Must celebrate.
Imagine what the Rose Bowl will be like.

Fightin’ Dirty

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. I say, in marriage, there’s more than one way to win an argument. My current favored tactic is to say something so insane that there is no logical, rational response. Voila! The argument is over!
To wit:
GTB found out last night that the Dharma Bums […]
