• On that Recent New Yorker Parenting Piece, and Others Like It

  Number of comments: 4
  My friend suggested I cross-post this here, and I think it’s a good idea. He posted this article from The New Yorker on FB and asked me (and a couple other moms) my thoughts. I suggest you read the piece to understand this post, but be warned, it’s long.   I read the piece, [...]

• And Then Things Got Deep

  Number of comments: 3
  We're standing in the kitchen, each of us tidying up and discussing life post-wedding, when one of us (I forget which one, but it's ultimately irrelevant), mentions how non-scary, non-worrying the prospect of marriage seems. We talk about this, only briefly, about how strange it feels to be where we've each [...]

• And then my Vanity Reared its Ugly Head

  Number of comments: 8
  I don't want to look like crap on my wedding day. That's the bottom line. There's something about marrying in your near-mid-30's, when your body's been through childbirth and some health issues, that doesn't exactly scream "young, dewy bride," you know? While I think I look good on any given' [...]

• And then I Became a Slacker Bride

  Number of comments: 3
  For a good chunk of days there, it was like I had no wedding to plan. I stopped all my planning, all my phone calls and emails and researching and ordering and confirming.  It was like I couldn't muster the time or energy or mental space to deal with any' [...]

• And Now I'm a Happy Bride - Almost

  Number of comments: 3
  The inherently bi-polar nature of getting married has officially claimed me as its victim. Since I last wrote, I've swung from full-on panic to full-on excitement. It's truly strange and bizarre but infinitely amusing to me to see how excited! and happy! and thrilled! and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I am about all this.' [...]

• What Do You Mean, I Have to Put a Wedding Together?!

  Number of comments: 5
  Just when I feared I had nothing of interest left to blog about, along comes a proposal that turns everything upside down, and, voila! This blog becomes, as of right now, the receptacle of all my anxiety as I launch into wedding preparations, because this, this is going to be one interesting experience. [...]

• The One Where My Heart Explodes

  Number of comments: 10
  I've started this post like 100 times now, only to promptly delete the first couple of paragraphs, stare at the blank screen for a few minutes, and then start all over again. I don't know how to write this. Guess that's what I should conclude after all these attempts. My brain [...]

  Number of comments: 1
  I'm beyond giddy because some restaurant recommendations I made for a BlogHer and Gourmet collaboration published yesterday on the Gourmet Live blog. For real! Looky here! My food obsession is intense (it's obscene how many hours a day I spend thinking about food, planning meals, and dining outings and discussing favorite' [...]

• One Day I Will Write Here Again...

  Number of comments: 2
  ... specifically, when this semester is over. I'm so nuts over this final project I have to complete this next week (I started about two-and-a-half weeks ago) that I can't see straight. The last couple of months have been stressful on a few fronts, and while I'm so so so' [...]

  Number of comments: 1
  I hadn't read much last week, and then things picked up today. So here you go, an eclectic mix for you to enjoy.(BTW, I never said this explicitly, but while I hope this remains a regular feature, I'm not tied to running it once a week. Before finding some more [...]
