Doesn’t it seem like I’m complaining every week about how I’m sick or the Lovely Tess is sick or the Lovely Suse is sick? Well, I was sick again last week with a nasty stomach virus that knocked me on my ass for two days. Tons of fun. Before Tess came along, I would get exactly two colds a year. One at the start of winter and another at the start of spring. Obviously, the...

Unsolicited Baby Advice Part 1: Equipment
Everyone loves to give baby advice. Everyone is an expert. And course, everyone is batsh*t insane. Seriously, it’s impossible to wade through all of the advice that various online sources, family, and friends offer, and it’s enough to make a person feel completely overwhelmed. When it comes to baby equipment and supplies, this is no exception. I’ve had a bunch of emails from...

I finally joined the cult of Apple last week with the purchase of my shiny new black MacBook. Or as Susanne calls it, my “girlfriend”. I’ll admit that I’ve been spending a lot of time with it since I got it, but I’m just trying to get everything set up to my liking as well as installing Windows XP on it with Boot Camp. The best of both worlds. And yes, I love it.

You know what sucks? Being sick. You know what sucks worse? Being sick on the weekend? You know what’s worse that that? Being sick on a weekend when the Lovely Suse works both days. It was not a fun weekend. I’m all for all-natural homeopathic remedies for sicknesses, but sometimes, drugs rule. Gimme some pills and lozenges and sprays and make me feel better ASAP.
Sometimes when...

Boredom
I’ll be honest with you. I”m not the biggest fan of meetings. Let me clarify that. I hate meetings where I have no input, don’t care about the subject, and frankly don’t need to be there. I’m lucky enough that these meetings are few and far between, but in most cases, I struggle to stay awake. It’s really bad. It’s not that I’m necessarily tired, but...

Best of 2007
I don’t know why I’ve had such a hard time writing the year-end best-of list this year. Maybe it has something to do with the year being dominated by a little thing called Tess, and I don’t really remember anything else that happened last year. Let’s try anyways, mostly because I’m sick of the Lovely Suse pestering me to write it.
Best addition to the universe (in my...

I was home with a sick Lovely Tess for most of last week, so it was a pretty uneventful one. On the bright side, I got to spend most of the days watching daytime TV and daytime cooking shows. God, there are a lot of terrible ones, but they’re almost more fun to watch. I just get angry and curse at the TV. Sandra Lee, I’m talking to you.
In the wake of the writer’s strike and...

Well, I guess it’s been a couple of weeks, hasn’t it? I don’t know where the time went. It certainly doesn’t feel like I’ve been off for over ten days. What have I done over the past week and a half? Um, I’m not really sure. Let’s see if we can piece if together…
Everyone had a lovely Tess’s First Christmas. She got lots of stuff, of course,...
