The agony of defeat

So I had my 20 week sonogram on Tuesday. I spent the night before bouncing off the walls and talking too much, and the day-of feeling like I was going to throw up. The sono wasn’t just about finding out the sex, it was about whether Tater was growing correctly, had all the right parts,

Grammy Moments…in the Messy Household

I must preface this with saying that I know how my marriage will end, and it will be with me beating Jethro over the head with the fancy Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote with Color Touchscreen that I bought him for Christmas and he can’t figure out how to use but won’t admit it. Jethro

Baby Freak-Out No. 1*

So, I’m truckin’ along, finally feeling human enough to get some cleaning done (some as in very little) when I discover an information card from an old wallet of mine. You know, the kind you get with your wallet that you can list all your personal information on in case you lose your wallet or

Sad Bastard Music: Me and My Besties

Is it weird that I sometimes acquaint artists with a certain type of person I’ve been friends with? Maybe it’s their personality, maybe it’s their music, but certain musicians are just immensely likeable and make me think of what type of friend they’d be. Okay, yeah, it is a little weird. I’m okay with that.
