Caveat Number One: I think kids and babies are cute.
Caveat Number Two: Just because I think babies and kids are cute does not mean I want to hear every detail about the kids of my colleagues and acquaintances.
Caveat Number Three: I have not experienced childbirth or parenting. This I know. Trust me that I know.

A brief vent:
I hate how my co-workers pronounce my first name. They say it—or attempt to say it—in Spanish, having once told me that I “deserve to have [my] name said properly.” Believe you me, the English pronunciation is hunky-dory! It makes me cringe each time a co-worker says my name. I told one new [...]
Full disclaimer: I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. My post yesterday will probably hint to you that I don’t care about the Super Bowl, or its half-time show, or the ads. My friends on Facebook and the message boards I frequent were dissecting the ads last night, though, and there seemed to be universal revulsion [...]
Stop the video at 5:07 if you don’t want to continue watching Daria; that’s where my point ends.
*whispers* In case you couldn’t guess, I don’t care about the Super Bowl!
Hate is such a strong word, but when your dresser rips the skin off your middle finger’s knuckle, you hate it. With a passion.
I have to say, though, I hate it when people say that hate is such a strong word. So is love. Yet people use that with abandon just as often as hate, [...]
Asking a woman if she wants to touch your pregnant belly just because said woman is a newlywed (and addressing her only as “Newlywed”) is all kinds of weird. You’re assuming that a) the newlywed is looking to procreate at some point (you’re also assuming soon) and 2) the newlywed wants to touch you (a [...]
It was snowing in D.C. It does look pretty, but it makes me Grinch-y more than anything—it just reminds me that people around here have no idea how to remove snow or drive in snowy conditions. If this were to last to the beginning of the week, Armageddon would be in order given that it’s [...]
Probably because I didn’t sleep a wink. I hate a certain, local four-star hotel because a) the heating and cooling sucks, 2), the walls are as thin as can be, and Roman Numeral III) the bed may be celestial, but the pillows certainly aren’t. Ouch, my neck. Also? This place has gotten old. Amenities and [...]
Paul Simon’s “Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean” came on my iPod today and the first half of the song hit me hard (especially since I deliberately got off the train before my stop so that I had to walk and delay my re-entry into the real world). I feel refreshed, yes. But? [...]
Or so it would seem, according to our former neighbor. As his bride, I guess I could be Lilith if IP is the King of Hell?
We’ve run into our lovely former neighbor twice in as many days. Both times have been marked with her shooting us the dirtiest looks known to man. On Halloween night, [...]
