No, I've had enough. Let's talk about me. I'm more of a rock star now that my hair is long. If I say enough, it'll be true, right? Any of these hair styles below would make me a more awesome person. Picture at left: clearly, I'm standing on a balcony in Paris, having just…

– the Lion OS X update on my Mac. Who else has this? Is anyone else confused by the backwards scrolling? Anyone? – another case of vertigo. Yes, another one. Apparently, my awesomely low blood pressure and resting heart rate AND total lack of hydration (what? coffee doesn't count?) makes my brain want to…

I'm talking about running here, people. Get your mind out of the gutter. Running! On my weekly workout upgrade, I decided to make running even more fun by running fartleks* on Mondays, an extra half mile on Wednesdays, and increasing my pace on Fridays. It is super fun. For lots of reasons. First of…

– lots of V's artful photography, found on my iPhone photo album when downloading my own pictures. I'm pretty sure that's a finger and little Zoo's occupied footy-jamas… Art. – My love/hate relationship with making a center-pull ball of yarn continues. No matter how hard I try, there's always some hopeless tangle near the…

I got out pen and paper and everything. Yes, my people, it's time to share with you my goals. I figure if…

– Mae Cake's first ponytail. Ahahahahaha! I was finally able to get a rubber band around her invisible hair. She was pleased. – Our backseat is car seats, straight across. No room for adults. Chock full* of ladies. What is the world does "chock full" mean? Well. *- From "chock a block," a nautical term…

– a family outing to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Now I'm all for art, but Spoonbridge and Cherry is the only thing in that garden, as far as I'm concerned. And not just for the obvious dessert implications. Or the fact that it's by a guy named Claes Oldenburg. Isn't he the bad guy from A Series…

Warning! This post talks extensively about #1 and #2. Pee and Poo. The Diaper Twins. Whatever. Consider yourself warned… We use cloth diapers. The G and I had talked about it a little when I was first pregnant and I researched the idea a little on the interwebs. I found a brand that seemed easy ("seemed…
