my weekends are filled with awesomeness
You know you’re getting old when people ask you, “So, any big plans for this weekend?” and you smile back excitedly and exclaim, “I’m getting a haircut!” like it’s going to be a block party involving an inflatable ball pit and drunk people. My hair appointment today is seriously the #1 thing on the agenda […]
just some words
As most everyone who reads this site knows, we did lose my mom this past Sunday. The past few days have really been a blur. Apologies in advance for droning on about sad things; I promise I will be back to writing tales of tear-inducing laughter in no time. I did want to post here […]

They have had great fun together sharing toys, secrets, and pacifiers. One time they even went grocery shopping together. Thankfully, they have not […]
hole-punched taco
Lydia has had a very eventful medical month. As I posted last time, we had our consultation with an ENT at Children’s Hospital. We were there for over two hours, with the majority of that time waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting a bit more. Thankfully Lydia is a pretty […]
Alagasno
Steven, while on the phone dealing with a billing issue with Alagasco: “So . . . you’re punishing us for being proactive?” “I’m bring up the bill on the website . . . hold on, it’s a pretty crappy website . . .” It is a crappy website, too. There are two separate log-ins — […]
