Whew. Our broker called me at 1 p.m. yesterday and it felt as though a quarter of the weight of the world was off of our shoulders. Figures that the day Scott leaves we get the clear to close. So this is our house. Go ahead and picture it without all of the ivy and…

1) We have been packed for a month. I’m starting to forget what we actually own. When we finally do unpack and unwrap boxes, it will feel like Christmas Eve! Then again, it might actually be Christmas Eve by the time we move in. 2) So hey! Then we don’t have buy each other presents…

Sigh. Seriously, it’s ridiculous. Thankfully, it really does look as though we’re on track to close this week. Of course, my husband is leaving the country on Thursday for about a week, which means I’m in charge of moving into our house. Well, me and Kate Shea. Lucky for Scott as we Shea girls are…

I have always hated this apartment. My ex-husband found it and I never wanted to live here in the first place. I went kicking and screaming the whole way through finding it, this new, smaller, cheaper apartment than the one we’d been living in for two years. The intention was to save more money –…

Tomorrow is our one-year anniversary. There are some days when it boggles my mind to think we’ve only been married a year. We eased into being married much more seamlessly than we did being a couple, interestingly enough. The romantic in me likes to believe it’s simply because this was always where we were destined…

Or, actually, busy. I am fried, people. I have nothing remotely creative or interesting to say, but there is so much I want to talk about. But I get home, and I cobble together something for dinner, and then I crash. For the past two weeks, Scott and I have been getting up every morning…

I am sorta tired of peeing on sticks. Swear to God, I’ve urinated on more sticks in the past few months than I ever thought I would. Last night I was so irritated with the peeing on the stick that I rendered the test negative. For those of you familiar with the process, you’ll know…

“Sunday morning Slow beats seething Through the screens in The open windows Eggs frying Legs shaking After we stayed lying So long in bed Sunday morning Both of us reading And looking up occasionally Looking up occasionally “Sunday morning You’re doing your thing And I am doing mine Speaking words More a formality Cuz we…

I hobbled all of last week. Not even an exaggeration. The kickboxing class put me out of traction for days, and despite a yoga session the day after, I subjected everyone around me to winces and yelping and whining and it was, in a word, ridiculous. For as much as I loved the punching and…

Someone asked me a few weeks ago to write about what’s going on with The Crazy Neighbors. Life got in the way, and I forgot. It was when I walked by the front yard the other night, and took note of the two “plants,” with flowers that light up, I decided perhaps it was time…

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. It really is good to hear it took some time for the majority of you. I don’t for a second regret waiting a bit to have kids, realizing you’re a statistic sort stinks. On to other things… We’re still in the process of buying a home. We opted…

So it’s been four months, and there’s no sign of a baby anywhere. I don’t want this blog to turn into a, I don’t know, infertility blog, because it’s not. But it’s been four months of trying and we’re not pregnant and after that much unprotected sex, you can’t help but reflect, or, at the…

Earlier today, I made a comment that we all should ignore Tucker Max and the movie adaption of his book, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. The very spot-on Whet Moser corrected me over Twitter, as soon as I said it, and he backed his reasoning with this post: Tucker Max Hates Fun. You…
