Mom on the edge.
Hello, all! I’ve (clearly) been not-blogging for a bit here, but am mucking about in World of Julie as apparently some nasty hacker-type people figured out a way to use WoJ as their shell site for cheating people out of their credit card numbers. Ack! So I upgraded my WordPress, which is something I’ve always [...]
The story of Zuzu’s birth is up on Design Mom today. Go check it out!
There’s a week and a half before the official baby due date, but things are definitely Happening down there. The baby’s head is incredibly low, which is apparently unusual for a not-first baby (which makes no sense to me). Her head is so low that when I got checked yesterday, the midwife couldn’t get around [...]
My computer caught a virus a few weeks ago – a nasty one that pretended to be antivirus software, continually opened windows and pop-ups, and which directed any web browsing to discount Taiwanese shopping sites. I turned the computer off once it started loaded some kind of porn onto my desktop. When I took it [...]
This is Julie’s mom, her computer has been infected by a virus. She has no access to a computer for 5-7 days.
Every year (since Eli turned 1, at least), I make the boys a CD on their birthdays. It has all their favorite songs of the year, plus bits of them singing or telling jokes or just babbling. A few weeks ago I realized I had amassed a bunch of free downloads that I loved or [...]
So, yesterday you may have noticed Eli’s nice little cozy bed. It’s in what is currently our newly-redone attic. Dave spent months finishing our attic (best part: super-insulating the roof-line, which made such an enormous difference I can’t even tell you). This room is a masterpiece. It’s gorgeous (for some reason I can’t find a [...]
I’ve had some Goodwill luck lately, and have wanted to tell you all about it, but I must have been waiting until last week, when I got the best thing ever from Goodwill (the last thing in the post). Since I’m pregnant, all truly excellent Goodwill scores have been accessories. I have gotten some maternity [...]
Children’s Book of the Week coming back soon, I promise. The next one I want to write up requires Henry to sing a song, so I just haven’t gotten around to recording him yet. (Plus I still have three more things — two small, one large-ish — to do for school, and those take priority [...]
Yesterday a woman said to me, “Any day now, huh?” and I had to swallow and smile and say, “I’ve got four more months!” She totally backtracked and said something about, “Oh, but you’re gorgeous!” and it was all I could do not to say, “Yeah, whatever, shut up, lady.” (Instead I very diplomatically said, [...]
