Well, Stella now has her driver's license...

I haven't blogged in about a hundred years.

I'm very broken up about it. I've missed it terribly.

Stella is keeping me busy every moment.

(Well, Stella and my breastpump and the endless bottle washing and rocking and sing-songing and diaper changing and cooing and oohing and ahhing...)

Yeah, so, mostly Stella.


Look how she's grownspice!


Remember this little December peanut?

Well...

Here's her most recent glamour shot. :)

 

How are you people doing?
What'd I miss?

My little girl is due Mother's Day. I keep thinking that my brain will come back after she's born and I'll get to writing again. Silly, hm?

Your little Stella is adorable!

Hey! We missed you! But I figured you're just storing up a whole bunch of TMI Thursday posts.

Stella's gorgeous. If I had to choose between blogging and Stella, she'd win. Hands down.

Miss cutie-pie! What have you missed? The usual travails. Hope you get a chance to post a bit more as the days go on. You think she's cute now? Wait till she starts talking!

Time goes too fast and they grow up way too quickly! Don't feel guilty about working. I was a stay at home mom and now I am a single mom and I feel guilty that I didn't keep a job/career going to be able to financially support my kids on my own. Their dad went AWOL and took child support with him. I am glad I was able to stay at home with them when they were little, (they are 17, 14, and 12 now), but you are smart to keep your independence and career going. You aren't leaving and doing that to her, but for her, especially as a strong role model!

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
