Well, well. Look Who’s Back.

It’s me! I’m back! Back, and with a living, breathing baby daughter. 🙂 A while back, I mentioned that I was having a hard time getting pregnant. That turned out to be an understatement. Getting and staying pregnant became an obsession for me; doctor’s appointments and research and crying and trying to find people, women,…

Trip Down Memory Lane: Wayne’s World

Earlier tonight, we finished off some dijon mustard. As I put the empty jar in the recycling bin, I thought to myself: “Pardon me, Do you have any grey poupon?” And then I started laughing. I know I’m dating myself, but it actually makes me sad to think about how many young people have never…

Would You Leave the Workforce?

Eons ago, we watched Ali Wong’s standup routine on Netflix, Baby Cobra. Without giving too much away, she had some funny parts (I thought) about wanting to leave the workforce. “Housewives” she said, “are geniuses.” I laughed, very hard. (Z not so much.) Around that time, I’d also had a conversation with a couple of…

Baby Crabs Scuttling in a Tidal Pool

Unobservant California Driver

Driving home from dinner last night, Z noticed a particularly erratic driver behind us, in a little Volkswagen Golf. Z: “Oh man, he has California plates. Not from around here.” On Sundays, the right lane of many busy streets in Vancouver becomes a parking lane – you can’t stop there during the week, but evenings…

Great Dog Beds for Older Dogs

Our pride and joy turned 7 this week. 7! Which is roughly 54, in dog years. This past year, he’s slowed down. While he still loves running and fetching, after a long walk in the woods chasing sticks, he needs time to recover, and his hips are stiff for at least a day after. We’re thinking…

Egg Hunting for Adults

Hey guys, I’m still here. You might be wondering where I’ve been these past couple of months. Well, in my attempt to “focus”, I cut out almost everything that wasn’t absolutely necessary, including blogging. Sometimes, when you’re working on something big, you just don’t have the capacity to do much else. I wish I could…
