So maybe Kim is making new clothes for the Yahoo! Motherboard Summit…but I bet she can’t beat my new footwear fashion statement!
Yeah. That’s what I thought. I know you all are jealous, my dear #YMotherboard friends.

Rachel: Excuse me, Dr. Bobby happens to be an excellent doctor.
Ross: Uh.
Dr. Green: Wait a minute, his name is Dr. Bobby?

Cupcake and I had a rare opportunity to dine out together. Just the two of us, on a weekday. It’s like the planets and stars aligned and the universe gifted us with the time sans boys!
We chose a pizza place that we both like but don’t go to frequently. It was still a little early [...]

So Bito’s first day of kindergarten went off smoothly.
He was cheerful as he went in to the classroom and never looked back.
I was patting myself on the back for preparing him so well for the transition to Big Kid School.
The second day…not so much.
Apparently we’d focused so much on getting him ready for the first [...]

Bito astonished me this evening.
After dinner at a favorite restaurant, The Husband took Cupcake to the restroom. Bito looked straight at me and said, “I want another baby.”
Thinking he meant a different baby instead of BabyMuffin (i.e. trading his baby brother in), I simply said, “Okay. What would we do with BabyMuffin?”
He replied, “When BabyMuffin [...]

I can hardly believe BlogHer has been over for a week now. Where’s the time gone? I’ve spent it traveling back from the Midwest and drowning in laundry!
So. BlogHer ‘09. I promised a post about it. But aren’t you tired of reading about it all over the blogosphere by now?
In any case, here is my [...]

Driving back from Chicago with Devra and Sarah, I wrote BlogHer re-cap posts in my head, trying to compose the perfect combination of words to capture the conference.
As we pulled up to the TA truck stop, where I knew The Husband was picking me up, I spotted my mommy-mobile parked there.
Then I saw him walking around [...]

The Husband and I left his folks’ home this morning so I could meet up with Devra and Sarah for my ride to BlogHer. A few minutes into our journey to the rendezvous point, Sarah called to say they’d be a bit delayed.
While Devra and Sarah were dealing with a flat tire and poor customer [...]

The song has been sung, the candles have been blown out. Not sure how it occurred but my daughter, my youngest, my baby, is two. Her favorite words, “mine” and “no”, along with the stack of thank you cards to be addressed act as further proof of what my heart is slow to recognize–another year has passed and [...]

I figure that I have probably gained and lost the same 30 pounds at least four times by now. You’d think that I’d be used to the cycle of denial and deception by now, both in gaining and losing. I certainly can recite my justifications by heart: ‘I WANT the waffle! I am going to [...]

I get a little envious of a friend on Facebook when his status updates read something like:
LAX –> DAL –> ATL
I imagine all the fun he must have airport hopping. Sure, I know most of his travels are for business, and therefore not really that glamorous–he once told me all he got to see in [...]

I’ve been so excited about attending BlogHer ‘09 that my head hasn’t really wrapped around the fact that I am attending BlogHer ‘09! Yikes. Am I going to be in over my head?
This past weekend, I attended a Pre BlogHer get-together for DC area bloggers at Nationa Harbor. I got a chance to meet some [...]
