Well, I did it again. I went on another unintended blogging hiatus. *sigh* I know, I know. But, like I mentioned in this post, it’s hard for me to blog when I’m preoccupied with something else. And lately, that’s been a really rough Elanor phase. Y’all, it’s been brutal. This parenting thing just keeps getting [...]
The past few days have been really hot here in San Francisco, somewhere around 90 even at our house in the Sunset, which tends to be 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the city. Yesterday, to escape the sauna that was our apartment, we went down to the beach, stopping on the way to [...]
I have a confession. I am in a major, major cooking rut. Huge. It’s…bad. We’ve been eating out a lot, and eating far, far too much pasta/annie’s mac/waffles/convenience food and spending a fortune between eating out and random trips to the grocery store. I’m having a hard time thinking of things I want to cook [...]
Brett: Elanor, where do tooties come from? Can you show me where tooties come from? Elanor: Opens mouth and points inside while grinning, obviously very satisfied with her answer. Ooookay. I have no idea where she got the idea that you toot from your mouth…but I think it’s pretty darn hilarious.
I wrote most of this post yesterday while at the Laundromat doing about eight loads of laundry. Although I will admit that watching the clothes go around and around in the machines is oddly mesmerizing, I had to try do something to fill the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I never realized the sheer volume of laundry three [...]
It’s been an insane three weeks. I’m…really tired. And also overwhelmed. And wishing that the nearest Target were not so very far away, or that I had a car to get there. (A girl needs to make a Target run after a move…I’m just saying.) Most of all, I’m really, really happy. Since our plane [...]
If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably seen my status update: we’re moving to San Francisco! Brett got a new job there, and he starts on June 1st. So it’s all happening very, very quickly, which is both good and bad. Good because money coming in is good, and bad because, well, packing an entire house [...]
In a recent post, I mentioned that we’ve been dealing with more frustration and stress lately. Well, without going into too much detail, it all came to a head last week, and Brett was laid off from his job. I’m not going to delve into the specifics, but it’s been kind of a long, drawn-out [...]
Hello there, friends in bloggy land. How have things been for the past, oh, almost two months? Yikes! Two months! That’s longer than I thought it would be between posts, but, you know, oh well. Gotta remember that whole “no stressing out” thing, right? Really, things have been fine at our house. Busy, stressful at [...]
Hi! I am here. I have just been consumed by first birthday party madness for the past week. We had Elanor’s party on Saturday, and it was so, so much fun. I’m working on a recap to post later this week. Our family was very generous to Elanor, and they showered her with amazing presents. [...]
