For Valentine’s Day, the school requested that the kids make (MAKE!) cards for EACH CHILD IN THEIR CLASS. What??
We got to work, spending two days holding arts and crafts class in our dining room. We were so lazy about cleaning up after the first day, knowing we weren’t done yet, that we ate in the […]

Happy Eight
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 […]

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 […]

Halloween 2007
C0mcast and I… we are on the verge of a break-up. I’m sure my account is flagged as PAIN IN THE ASS CUSTOMER. But what am I supposed to do without a connection? READ or something?
Anyway…
Costumes. This is part of what I’ve been working on lately. Maybe I should thank Crapcast for not letting me […]

At Dad’s office:
When Bean first started talking, she would say, “I wub” instead of “I love.”
Bean & Buddy: I wub.

Sae-heh-bok Mah-nee Pah-doh-say-yo
A few years ago, our Korean dry cleaner (sounds horribly stereotypical and it is, but they were awesome) taught G how to say ‘Happy New Year’ in Korean. G asked this poor man to say it over and over again as he wrote it down phonetically on a dry cleaning receipt. He kept this piece […]

V Day Recap
Our V Day wasn’t a complete wash just because of my bad attitude. I sucked it up and made G one of his favorite meals for dinner (in my cynical defense, I love a good filet mignon as well), and then we cozied up on the couch to watch Friday Night Lights. Don’t faint from […]

To G:
We both know that I’m normally a V’s Day cynic, but something came over me and I filmed this just for you. Because the stars shine for you and everything you do and shit, it’s no secret we’re all yellow just for you too.
But don’t make me say, “Happy — Day.” For fuck’s sake you […]
