Love note #2 this week. I think someone poisoned me. I’m starting to itch.
Dear G,
If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2008 I would be living in Chicago (again), have almost 4-year-old twins, and be in my eighth year of marriage, I would have laughed my ass off and then slapped [...]

I take a break from my irregularly scheduled blogging to partake in the lovefest for a certain Minnesota Mama Butterfly, one of the most reliable and sweetest and loyal of all blog friends.
As she knows by now, I don’t do well with love notes. Instead, I am going to channel me some Mary Katherine Gallagher:
I [...]
Her Babies’ Daddy
January 29, 2008 – 11:28 am
This weekend I flew out to Philly to see my girlfriends. One of them, O, is going through a very difficult divorce (actually, trying to go to mediation to work towards a divorce). Our other friend, BTT (I know she wanted a blog moniker so there it is), flew out from SF so we could [...]
Premiere of “The Air I Breathe”
January 22, 2008 – 10:41 am
My friend, Jieho Lee, director- and screenwriter-extraordinaire, sent an email out this weekend with details of his film’s premiere. So without further ado, an introduction in his words:
:::::
Dear Friends,
I hope this email finds you all well and starting off 2008 on a great note. As most of you know, my first feature film “The Air [...]
The Aimless Word
January 17, 2008 – 1:12 pm
Yesterday the kids’ school had a parent seminar about Language in the Home; about developing language skills and how we can help guide them. It was interesting and I love that the school makes time to offer advice about our kids.
B&B are pretty on-track with their language abilities. They are probably still a little hard [...]
Early Symptoms of the Soccer Parent?
January 14, 2008 – 10:58 am
Bean and Buddy had their first soccer practice of the season a few days ago. What is it about watching your kids play sports for the first time that fills your heart with pride and totally hokey emotions? They’re chasing around a ball for f’s sake! (By the way, if you live in Chicago [...]
Belated Chrismukkah Greetings

A belated holiday cheer on behalf of the halffamily:
I must give credit where credit is due for this, because I copied this idea from Design Mom, who got the idea from a wonderful photographer, Jan Von Holleben. Originally I had intended to make it more obvious that the twins were on the ground because that [...]
Come Aboard… We’re Expecting You…
January 7, 2008 – 8:27 am
Welcome to my new corner of the Internet. Poor G has been busting his ass coding this for me. Luckily, he can be a code monkey and watch Tom Brady + friends break records at the same time on our new Christmas TV. And you haven’t seen Tom Brady until you’ve seen him on HD [...]
Random Re*meme*ergence
December 29, 2007 – 2:21 am
I know, I KNOW! You people are blog vultures. Can’t you let a blogger hibernate in peace?
Okay okay… Well, what better way to reemerge than to start with a meme? I was tagged for the Random meme awhile back (by Kim, Hedgehog, and Angela), and I figured this is the best way for a slow [...]
Overheard
November 7, 2007 – 1:45 am
I know. This is annoying and kind of a little rude — my once-a-week post asking you to go to another site to read my post. Especially considering there are so many other bloggers doing this once-a-day NaNoo-NaNooBloMe thing. But if I write everyday I might bore you to tears, so you should really be [...]
