Ah the joys of womanhood...

There is a danger in the internet.  The way a person can travel from blog to blog, just surfing, seeing what catches the eye....today I have taken a step away from the political blogs...a day of rest in celebration and thanks.  Unfortunately that pause has led me in another direction...food blogs...  Read more >

The things you do for love...

Sherman and I have been trying to get Ijah back on the bottle.  For some reason, be it teething, taste, comfort, ease, whatever, he has been FREAKING out every time we try to give him one.  So for the past few days we have been trying different things.  New bottle with a nipple that seems more like...well...a nipple.  Warming the formula up more.  Nipple shaped like his pacifier.  Different people feeding him.  Holding him in different ways.  Walking while feeding.  Different music.  Different scenery.  Me in the house.  Me blocks away.  Using  Read more >

My own personal Titanic...

I admit it.  I have a pretty bad case of the new mom overwhelmed.  Maybe it's not even a bad case, it could be a perfectly average case, but either way it is taking a toll on me.  I've been getting out during the day, trying to get out with just Sherman, trying to be a part of group activities with friends, but it's still hard.  I still feel different, a little isolated, a little confused.  Read more >

Third grade wisdom...

"Well do you want to be her friend?" "Yes...but I'm not sure if she really wants to be mine." "Why, don't you think Olivia likes you?" "Well, every time she asks to be my friend she wants me to do something for her." "I think if she was a true friend she wouldn't just want something from you every time."

About Me: 
I'm a wife, a mother, a smart ass, an enigma, a nerd, an artist. A sci-fi fan, a live music lover. I take pictures and write random thoughts. I have been in love, I have despised. I am trusting to the point of stupidity, and stubborn beyond belief. I like to party, I like to chill, I am versatile, I am flexible. I like cartoons, I play video games, card games, board games. I avoid mind games. I'm feisty, lippy, sassy, quiet. I love my husband, my baby, my cats. I love my glasses, trains, art, music, dancing, drinking, eating, reading, drawing. I have a favorite pair of boots, I name my vehicles, I love commas. Trade size paperbacks, Jameson, and coffee. I like to climb, I like telling stories, just not all of them. I love my family though we see each other rarely. I often over think. I don't sleep when unhappy. I hate doing laundry. I love taking care of people but hate to have to rely on them. Chicago, Balintoy, Uptown, St. Paul, the Balcony, the Mill, Red Dragon, French Meadow, Caffeto, Bettys, Bread and Chocolate, Quangs, Bulldog, CC Club. West River Parkway, all of the lakes, downtown, uptown. Easy to confide in, tougher to confide. Red headed, bull headed, working on clear headed. I laugh...a lot...I want good things. I surprise people. I have another side. I want the best for everybody. I am understanding. I care a lot. I can be mean, I can hold a grudge, I cave when apologized too. I am always in flux. My accent changes, I call people by the name that fits them in my head. My friends are more important to me than they can even imagine. Motorcycles, campfires, blankets, blueberries. I need people. People that remember. People that have passion. There is a lot about me that I don't even know yet, but I love finding out. I walk, I bus, I skip on occasion. I love lap time, robe time, coffee and ice cream time. Time with my family, time with myself, time with the gang. Ping pong dance parties, walking in the snow, serenade baths, dinner parties. I've been through a great deal in the past. Now I find myself where I feel I am supposed to be. It's funny where the road map will lead you, bumps, detours, flat tires, scenic routes, truck stops, and explosions. I feel like everything that has happened in my life had to. I wouldn't change a thing. These are some of the things that come to mind when trying to describe myself, I imagine I am leaving a lot out.
