Hee hee! I just couldn't resist the association. And I do use them! Still not great at them, but I use my Moby and my Bjorn (I know it's not as comfortable). I'm a firm believer!

What I Didn't Know

Things I didn't know about motherhood: You will smell like sour milk even when you don't think you do. You will be surprised how much another person's body fluids don't bother you anymore. You will realize you really liked not having your period and plot to get pregnant as soon... Continue reading

May the Force be with you! (And also with you.)

An actual, real live snippet of our book group conversation the other night: "Oh, I've had laser hair removal. I was hairy as a wookie." "What's a wookie?" "Chewbacca." "Oh! From Bionic Woman." Blank stares followed by a full thirty seconds of silence. "What?! Chewbacca is from Star Wars." "What... Continue reading

Thanks Heather! You think they would be.

Granny Smith and The Honeycrisp Kid

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My mom is funny: "You know how the Amish always make sure there is at least one flaw in anything they make, like quilts, because only God is perfect? I sewed a valance for the RV with the print upside down! It's... Continue reading

Three Wrongs Definitely Don't Make a Right

I actually have some decent stuff to write about, but not right now. Much more important (read: inappropriate, hilarious and/or otherwise frivolous) things to talk about. I found out about a little gem of a show watching Carson Daly (today's his birthday!) the other night. You know I've decided that... Continue reading

The good luck: I had a healthy baby, an easy pregnancy and a relatively fast labor. The bad luck: I don't get to do this: Texas Monthly and Alamo Drafthouse teamed up to do an all summer long Rolling Roadshow of ten of the best Texas movies of all time.... Continue reading

Summertime, Summertime, Sum-sum-summertime

Thought this was super appropriate as this whole blog-thing started because of summer. I love summer for the same reason I love Friday nights - it's full of possibility. Stolen from my dear, sweet friend Jenny Wren's Facebook note: "Thinking about summer. Thinking about adventures. I'm SOO ready for the... Continue reading

Weird, Wild Stuff

Some crazy, cosmic matriarchal stuff was going on Easter weekend. My maternal step-grandmother told us Easter Sunday that she dreamed about the baby the night before. She dreamed that he came early and she knew exactly what he looked like. I say she told "us", I didn't hear her, but... Continue reading

Not to get all mushy on my first post back, but...

I'm going to. Catching up on Glee! last night, I heard this song. I guess I like Fleetwood Mac as much as the next person, but have to say I don't think I have ever willingly listened to "Rumors" in it's entirety. Hence never having heard this song. I think... Continue reading

One more fun thing...

Keeping in line with my ability to never do things on time, the baby came early! Updates to come! Sent from my tiny handheld computer that also makes calls. Continue reading

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for...

Out with the old. In with the new. But do you know what's different about the new?! I'M IN IT!!! Last year, I wrote a letter to the editor telling them that their issue had inspired me and that although I couldn't finish, it sure had been fun. Well, this... Continue reading

#104. Color It Beautiful

I did it! Sort of. This was supposed to represent my "amazing" achievement of doing all "110 Fun Things To Do In The Summer". I painted it to look like the cover of last year's magazine; good thing I didn't actually paint all 110 things on there... I'd be even... Continue reading

#103. Float Your Boat

I figured this would be the perfect way to end my summer adventure. Turns out it wasn't, but not really for any reasons other than personal. Despite the sad news I received, I did tell my sister I was pregnant while I was there. So maybe it balanced out. If... Continue reading

#102. Jump At The Chance

I've stopped and started this post twice. I either alarm you that they let me walk in, without kids, in order to check it out for a "birthday party", air quotes mine, or I gross you out by talking about how germy I think it is. Those of you with... Continue reading

#101. Make A Splash

Whoops. I missed this. I can't remember if it was because I forgot it was a movie thing and missed the last show or that they were doing some renovations and were closed temporarily. Or that I just didn't shave my legs. For the record though, I did go and... Continue reading

Soooooo... it only took me seven months to get all the links onto the main list of events. Sorry.

#100. Discover Paradise

I not only want to hug Mother Nature, I want to kiss her. On the mouth. Westcave Preserve is one of the most primal-ly beautiful Texas landscapes I've ever seen. Like what it looked like before humans. Just breathtaking. I kept having to stop and just... look. And you need... Continue reading

#99. Pool Your Resources

If I could type this entry as one big blur I would because that's about how fast I saw Hamilton Pool. Running late (no surprise) and got there not long before they make everyone start hiking out. I begged my way in and practically ran down to the pool. Great... Continue reading

I totally hear you! Being anywhere by 8am, even for fun, is not high on my list. BUT... I do encourage you to go one way or the other! Glad I inspired you!

#98. Spring Ahead

HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?! It is GORGEOUS! I had no idea this place existed. To me it looks like some Nirvanic oasis. Except for the trashy people. They are not invited to my real Nirvana. I highly recommend you wear water shoes. I did not and almost had a panic... Continue reading

#97. Take a Bavarian Escape

Walburg? Walburg?! I know Walburg! I went to Southwestern University in Georgetown as did my parents before me and their parents before them. We know Walburg. We also knew Joe's down the street where my parents would take me in what then passed as a car seat and set me... Continue reading

#96. Fall For It

Just like Campbell's Hole, this place was a little tricky to find. Until I realized I'd been there before. Duh. You can get to it by kind of parking under Mopac near Zilker/360 and hiking in or go up 360 and park in a neighborhood off Scottish Woods Trail and... Continue reading
