Scott, upon reading my last entry: When we get pregnant, you’re going to wait at least three months to tell the Internet, aren’t you? Erin: Oh God yes. I think we will probably end up telling our families long before that, though. Scott: Well, sure, but… Erin: …and I’m going to have to tell Kate…

Does anyone else ever experience that moment during the week when going for a run or to a class or picking up a handweight sounds like the most awful thing that you could ever hope to do? This has been my pattern as of late. I work out anywhere between two-four days a week, early…

I have a new laptop, and it has a Webcam. I have officially joined 2002. For as much as it pained me to slap down a bunch of money on something that does not promise to give me a sizable tax break next year or, at the very least, a place to lay my weary…

Today we looked at another house. It has five bedrooms. And four bathrooms. And 2400 square feet. There is a dishwasher and a finished basement and a wood-burning fireplace with andirons (what is an andiron?) that JP says are probably 100 years old. And I am sitting here in our two-bedroom, one bathroom, 800-square foot…

So my site is sitting out here, losing traffic by the truckloads, and I can’t bring myself to do anything about it just yet. We’re busy. We’re looking for a house. We’re working. We’re doing things that, given the option, are much more inviting to me than re-building this Web site. I’m still here, I…

More changing. Can you handle it? WordPress will hopefully not make me want to cry. More soon.
