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.

IP and I have booked our honeymoon! We’ll be headed to Cancun in April. Greece is still on the table, though: it’ll either be our “Damn, we’re stuck in D.C. for longer, huh? Let’s take a later summer vacation, dammit!” trip or our “We’ve decided to have kids: this may be the last vacation in [...]
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 [...]
But I just want to say that I love my husband. Big time.
That is all. Carry on!
Stop! Writing and actually sending this would be extremely rude and poor etiquette! Don’t do it. Never do it. For any event. Ever.

It’s Christmas at WordNerdia-IPia ground zero!
Thanks to last week’s snowstorm (and the panic that ensued), IP and I weren’t able to get all the fixings we needed for Christmas dinner—we plan on solving this by trekking over to our local Giant, but I have to say I’m viewing this expedition with a bit to trepidation. [...]

I dreamed my husband and I were having a great time (ahem) and that I had to leave for some sort of work; the passage of [...]
The holidays are upon on us (however, you’ve probably known that since before Halloween as everyone insists on beginning their Christmas marketing when it’s still 80 degrees out, but I quibble).
Big Bro A will be visiting the WordNerdia-IPia household for Thanksgiving. This marks his first visit in the nearly four years since I’ve lived here; [...]
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 [...]
As you may have noticed, the wedding posts have been slowly but surely disappearing. However, whenever I think about our wedding, there’s one moment in which I feel like we totally tripped up a stupid wedding tradition and made our guests laugh at the same time. You know the clinking of glasses to get the [...]
