This has been an uproarious 48 hours, what with all of the voters’ rights legislations being gutted, fabulous Texan ladies filibustering and same-sex marriage banning, um, being declared unconstitutional. Keeping the rhythm there was a bit rough. Apologizes. I guess all I want to say is this: I look at this gorgeous face and the…

Marriage in the First Year
In all of the things I have been reflecting on as this first year of Abigail’s life comes full-circle, my marriage with Scott is a big one. I think about the last few hours of labor with AG, looking at my husband who was beside himself with worry and concern and love for me and…
Anniversary #2
Two years ago, Scott and I boarded a plane for New Hampshire, where we’d land, rent a tiny little car and head to Vermont to get married. It remains the best trip of my life, ever, and that includes last year’s Mediterranean trip with my old boss. This morning on the way to work, on…
Another update masquerading as a post
Look, I’m really exhausted these days. And not in a thyroid way, though I imagine that has something to do with it. Work is crazy insane busy and if I’m not working late, I am hastily waking up at 4 a.m. to agonize about not being at work at that moment and all of the…

This is not about Vegas, baby.
Friday night our friend Steve celebrated his 28th birthday. While certainly in theory a five-year age difference means nothing, in practice it’s something altogether because people in their 20s still do things like go out on a Friday night to celebrate their birthdays. The majority of those I know who are in their mid-to-late 30s…
So you wanted to know what’s going on…
Years ago, right after high school graduation, my friend Ryan, with whom I had drinks a few weeks ago, during which he said he doesn’t remember saying this to me, told me he could never see me as a mom. He looked me dead in the eye, serious as a heart attack, over pie at…

This sits proudly on my desk. I love it so much.

I saved up and planned for these puppies. Some of the best money I've ever spent. I love these more than I can say.

I decided to try enhancement products when I was training for my second marathon this year. I chose these and love them.
