It’s not your imagination. This site has been slowly imploding over the past few days, beginning with some feed issues, restricted access, then a white screen of death that locked out even me, followed comments and categories which stopped functioning, and culminating (hopefully) in this current issue where all of my internal links seem to have suddenly stopped working.

Month: March 2010
Some like it hot. Some don’t.
Usually (despite the wee-hours-of-the-morning battles that have become a ritual in this house) bed time is fairly painless for Dee. Darkness, Uncle Alex’s lullaby’s, and nursing are her cryptonite, and she’s usually out in a matter of minutes. Occasionally, if her gums are bothering her, or she’s having a bad poo, or she’s got the gas (sorry future Dee,… Read more →
Who doesn’t love free stuff?!
Fantastic Mr. Fox comes out on DVD today, and I have THREE copies to give away to you! THREE! Woot! I’ve always been a Wes Anderson fan on the whole, so I had high hopes that Fantastic Mr. Fox would be a movie I could share with Dee as she grows. It did not disappoint. This movie has… Read more →

I laugh in the face of sleep.
Dearest Dee – I know it was daylight savings time and all, but last night’s encore performance of “The Girl Who Hated Sleep” was truly your best ever. From your 7:30pm sleepy-time fake-out (you really had me going there) to your 8pm roll-into-the-crib-rails-and-wail, the hits just kept on coming. By 4am, and your 27th wake-up of the evening, I was… Read more →

I Do…love a deal.
Back when I was a bride-to-be, my Mom and I decided to stop in at Barney’s one sunny afternoon and try on wedding gowns. Y’know….just for fun to pass the time. Not because there was actually ever a consideration for one second that I ever would/could WEAR a Vera Wang gown… But here’s the thing: putting on that gown (especially… Read more →
Tiny Dancer
[October 7th, 2009: About twelve hours before she made her appearance, Delilah did her best to get Nigel Lithgow’s attention while Scott and I watched So You Think You Can Dance. If you look closely, you can catch a quick cameo by the remnants of a recently devoured bowl of Pineapple. Oh, pregnancy.][also, this video is kind of long. sorry… Read more →
There were never such devoted sisters.
After some speculation that the picture of Eva and Dee posted below looked like it could have been a picture of Marissa and I some 28 years ago, I had no choice but to steal my baby album from my parents house. What do you think? Dead ringers? (Yes, I have pointy ears. And yes, I thank… Read more →
