Cheese with my Whine

Posted on August 10, 2008
Peach - definitely sick. Running 101.5 temp (and it's the kind where I am SOOOO glad there is an RN in the family to take that one). Whiny, clingy, wants Mama. It's nice to be wanted, but it was super...

Sigh...

I just posted a completely hilarious conversation that took place in my office, but it is so not work or kid appropriate that I deleted it. Instead, a picture of Eden at sushi:

Oh, memories

Posted on August 03, 2008
There is such a difference between a sick baby and a sick toddler. I remember being panicked about each of Peach's first illnesses. Was she peeing enough? She might be dehydrated! Breathing regularly enough? Is it asthma? Should we call...

Lots of good news...and snotty noses

Posted on August 02, 2008
It's now less than a month until my little nephew is due! When Sar held Eden for the first time, she said, "It really does feel different holding a baby that is related to you," and I can't wait to...

Almost like Christmas

Posted on August 01, 2008
The iMacs and my MacBook Pro arrived today for the office! It was really painless transferring data from my 5+ year old Powerbook to the MacBook Pro (via firewire - although it took several hours), and the iMacs are just...

Getting sleepy....the TMI version

Posted on July 21, 2008
I am enjoying the accommodations at the Pacific Sleep Center - or at least, I will, once I get all hooked up to all the monitors. I'm having a sleep study done, to hopefully learn why the hell it is...

Excitement!

Posted on July 19, 2008
Today I am excited because: Yesterday I got the go-ahead to order the Macs for our new, all-Mac network! We'll be using Daylite for case management. I'm getting a MacBook Pro - yahoo! (My PowerBook is 5 years old this...

A three hour tour

Posted on July 16, 2008
Matthew is in the nursery, singing song after song to Peach to ease her transition to sleep. He sang "Stand by Me," followed by "Thumbelina," and then finished with the Gilligan's Island theme, sotto voce. Quite lovely, actually. He has...

How geeky am I?

Posted on July 15, 2008
The dream I remember from last night involved me competing with a guy at a comic book shop to see who could name the most characters in the Marvel universe who have drunk alcohol. I kid you not.

Omen?

Posted on July 14, 2008
For the past two weeks, I've been meaning to blog about the dying geranium plant in the window of the Countrywide office in the Pearl District, just a couple of blocks from the office. With the weekend's news about the...

The Twenty-Year Meme

Posted on July 09, 2008
I was tagged by Yin! 20 years ago I: 1. Was a moody 15-year-old. 2. Lived on Camp Pendleton, CA, outside of San Clemente. 3. Dyed my hair pink. 4. Listened to a lot of Smiths, Depeche Mode, and Bauhaus....

Collateral Damage, the booksigning

Posted on June 28, 2008
Newer readers may not know that my youngest brother was in Iraq during 2004-5; the posts from that time were on the old blog, which long since crashed and burned, much like our national foreign policy. Phil was very young...

She's got legs

Posted on June 28, 2008
...and she knows how to use them. The Peach started walking this morning!

There'll be some changes made

Posted on June 23, 2008
My office is really starting to feel like my office. It is very modern - glass and steel - and I've been slowly adding red accents into the room, which warms it up a bit and really pops. I thought...

Why Peach is in expensive day care in the city

Posted on June 19, 2008
This stuff happens a lot. It scares me to death. Things do happen in facilities, too, but not nearly as often.

Times are changing

Posted on June 17, 2008
It used to be that when Matthew and I drove past a church, we'd first play "guess the denomination" by the outside appearance, then crane our necks to look at the sign to see who guessed closest. Last week, we...

Another milestone

Posted on June 15, 2008
She's down for a long-delayed nap (I was working at the law library, and she and Matthew played), after eating a LOT of "real" food. She's had a bath, a diaper change, and she's clearly not hungry. I heard this...

First week recap

Posted on June 13, 2008
I've really enjoyed my first week so far. (And I suspect the boss has, too - he was able to take two days off with me in the shop.) Right now I'm the only one in, and I'm blasting some...

I could go for this

Posted on June 12, 2008
Wouldn't it be nice to really have a 50-50 split of work/home responsibilities?

Quick update

Posted on June 10, 2008
Day 5 of Peach hasty-poo - but she made it through all day at daycare without getting sent home. I suspect it was a near-run thing - so to speak. Day 1 of my job - and I loved it....

Lots of good stuff

Posted on June 04, 2008
This time, this day, last year, I insisted that a nurse wheel me down to the NICU to visit my new baby - all 4 lbs, 12 oz of her. (Because I was still on the magnesium sulfate to prevent...

It was just supposed to be another appointment!

Posted on June 02, 2008
One year ago today, I was 35 weeks pregnant. It was Friday. I prepped a probate motion, and arranged for the process server to pick it up and take a copy to the courthouse and serve another copy on the...

Peter Murphy Concert Review

Posted on June 01, 2008
The opening act: too weird for me. And too screechy-loud. The main act: there wasn't one. After an hour of waiting post opening act, finally the tour manager came out to say that Peter Murphy was sick, we'd get refunds,...

Not quite according to plan

Posted on May 25, 2008
Matthew's celebratory sushi? Turned into Round Table delivery when his back went out. (Likewise, my weekend of sharing child care? Turned into solo parenting - albeit with cheerleading support from Matthew - after the back diagnosis.) He spent the morning...

Vacation all I ever wanted

Posted on May 23, 2008
We're having a mini-vacation at Mactyre Manor. (Like almost all of our vacations, this means we're staying at home and hiding, since going away is usually reserved for business trips.) Matthew and Peach are home for the long weekend (Friday-Tuesday)....

You were saying?

Posted on May 20, 2008
I've always been distractable - quite distractable - with the exception of when I'm reading (good luck getting my attention then). This means that whenever I set out to do something, like pick up something from downstairs, I can end...

Graham cracker, anyone?

Posted on May 18, 2008
More here.

Randomness

Posted on May 17, 2008
I have started several posts for this blog and not finished them. Hopefully this one'll make it. I spent the hottest damn day of the year so far (yesterday - it allegedly hit 100 here) largely in places without air...

What the Guardian gets wrong about judges - and Vegas

Posted on May 15, 2008
Silly Guardian. Every Nevadan knows the Star Trek Experience is at the Hilton, not Caesar's. (And the new robes? They're goofy, sure. But the old robes were also goofy. Although I have to agree with the "evil pastor" sentiment -...
