As the sun does its work and powers through the hopelessly large of amount of snow still on the ground, IP and I have had a triumph: Saturday night we went shopping for the first time since January 29. Hallelujah!
And this week I have to start working full weeks again. The hell? Well, at [...]
A very happy anniversary to my mom and dad! They were married at the very young ages of 19 and 25 in our little Mexican village. It’s been a long—and at times, tough—struggle for them, but I know I look to them as an example of a happy marriage, and as an example of stupendous [...]
IP and I sometimes joke that we’ll be blessed (cursed?) with fraternal twins if we decide to embark on parenthood. The girl will look like me and be full of good cheer (and be a consummate Daddy’s girl), while the little boy will look like IP and will want nothing more than to just kick [...]
I just had two really good conversations with my parents about the wedding. While I’ve complained from time to time about my mom’s wedding-induced frenzies, she really is a wonderful woman and I give her too little credit. She’s so eager to help and it really is touching as we wind down the days. She [...]
Lately my patience is being tried by parents who talk too much about their kids. I don’t know what it is—a few months ago IP and I were advertising our babysitting services on this blog, but when it comes to some acquaintances’ kid talk, I really am getting very annoyed. Maybe it’s because [...]
Stamp to send wedding dress money: 42 cents
Money to cover said wedding dress: $None of your business$
Extra included for a sushi lunch: $20
Having a really cute, wonderful, amazing and loving set of parents: Priceless!
The first in no doubt a series of complaints about weddings and families . . .
I’m currently in Michigan, getting many, many things done in preparation for the wedding. Among the big things to do was to find bridesmaid dresses for my sister and my friend—consider that done. Yay! They were able to find styles [...]
When I saw there was a Titanic-related entry on DCBlogs yesterday, I burst out laughing—I too had succumbed to the awesome power of Titanic on Sunday. It was on during my run at the gym. I thought it was the perfect movie for the second entry in the Gym Shorts category (2008 was a bad [...]
I’ve been dreaming about my grandmother lately.
Only a couple of dreams, but they’ve both been wedding related. In the first, I was rushing around on the day of the wedding. Both IP and I were two hours late to our own ceremony, we somehow hadn’t left my parents’ house yet, and my hair [...]
I received an email this morning telling me that Sonnet87.com was renewed for another year. I suppose I should write on the damn blog, huh?
I decided to not write about my time away from work because I partly used that time to begin a job search. It’s not something that’s fun, it’s not coming to [...]
