Last month I had a scare. My neurologist insisted that it was a very strong possibility that I had a tumor in my brain. It took 2 weeks from the moment he wrote the words - "diagnosis: brain tumor" on a prescription pad to give to the MRI tech, until a Friday evening 2 weeks later, when I received the voicemail from my doctor that my scan was clear. I didn't quite process the news until the next

Hi! I just took some xanax because I was trying to relax. I've been having some problems lately that worry me. My MRI showed NO BRAIN TUMORS so I am thankful for that. Honestly, for 2 weeks I was paralyzed with fear. And I was internalizing all of it, so I wouldn't upset anyone else. I barely moved from the couch for 2 whole weeks while I waited for the results.The internet is a terrible thing

It's been a long time since I've written, mostly because I've got nothing to share with the world. My wheels are turning, as always, but (as always) I'm pulled in a million directions - creatively, emotionally, physically - so I don't really have anything new to show you. I got an e-mail the other day from blogger about how they're not going to support blogger to website publishing (which is how

My batteries died and I haven't had a chance to get more. Soo... I mentioned a job that I sent a resume to. Well.. I had an interview on Thursday. I don't know if it went well or poorly, but I enjoyed it. haha! I'm kind of in a bad mood right now because I found something on the internet that ruined my day. The L Letterpress Machine

Yesterday was a fast day. Devan was only at school until 1:15, due to week-long parent teacher conferences. I wasn't feeling good all morning, so I took a nap with Wren. I felt good enough after my shower that when I picked Devan up at the bus stop, I decided to take them both shopping. First we needed gas and I needed coffee. Oh Quick Chek, if your coffee weren't so good I'd never be able to

not really. but at least I remembered that I made a goal to post something every day. I sent my resume to a job in the city today. I'm nervous but also kind of NOT NERVOUS, because deep down I wish I could stay home with my daughters forever. If I get it, I'll tell you about it. Here's today's pic:

I've been away for far too long! I decided today that I'm going to start blogging again. If not blogging, at least posting a daily picture. I've started a 365 project - taking a photo every day. Here's what I've got so far, to catch up: Go here to see them larger. Today I inked up my press and I'm working on a new project that I'm pretty excited about. I have to run now, because I'm busy, busy,

Sometimes I hear the lyrics to a song incorrectly, but then when I find out the true lyrics, I'm a little disappointed because what I thought they said were better. An example of this is the line "The Brazilian Sea amazes me" from the song "I Cried Like A Silly Boy" by Devotchka. In my sleepiness I thought he said "Your resiliency amazes me" and i like that better because it makes more sense and

Ok, I'm not a bad mom who takes pictures of her children pooping so I can make internet meme's. I was trying to take a pic of her overalls, which I successfully did here. Now die kanye meme.

Devan will be whatever she wants because she's at an age where everything I suggest is UNCOOL even though I'm secretly really cool, but I'm a mom so I'm uncool by default? I guess that's the way it works. I don't know. My conundrum is this: I've always (for at least 7 years now) wanted to dress Devan as a garden gnome. She refuses. So I'm past that. But now I've got this little new baby. I could

the world would stop spinning around i posted these songs for 2 reasons. 1. I am in love with Nick Urata's voice. and his face 2. the lyrics, like many songs by this band (too tired, 'til the end of time, etc) describe my feelings perfectly. *Just an embarrassing little tidbit. I've been googling "how to become an acrobat" so that I can somehow whisk Nick Urata away from his acrobat wife.

Excuse our pallor, I had my camera on it's custom setting and clearly I do not know how to customize the settings. Anyways, I thought I'd share Wrenna, who is rapidly approaching FOUR MONTHS OLD, if you can believe it. I don't have anything else to post about here because I'm tired. I somehow ripped my fitted bed sheet and my foot kept getting stuck in it and waking me up all night. It was

how did this nut get so popular? PS. Yes, I know he came back on the air later in the week to make some excuse about it being on purpose, not having an oligarchy without "Czars"...to which i say, czars? why not communism?

I cannot believe that Devan starts school in 2 weeks. I just cannottt! How is summer almost over already? I haven't even been to Ohio! I haven't seen the ocean! I haven't even put on a swimsuit! Holy moly. I'm not sure how much longer this blog will be in this location. I've gone ahead and paid for a month of hosting, but I'm not sure I do enough with this site to continue to pay money every

yea, so what? Here's a picture of my little pooper, uh, pooping while propped up on some pillows: I'm sitting here at 12:45am, eating a BLTA (a is for avacado) on a croissant from Red Robin, sippin' a beverage, and singing 'twinkle twinkle little star' between bites, to my littlest baby, who's finding it very difficult to fall asleep tonight.

I haven't written anything here in a month! Whoops! I'll bring you all (all one or two of you who read this) up to date on recent events. I'm 40 wks pregnant now, with no signs or symptoms of impending labor. It's getting incredibly uncomfortable, if I may complain for a few moments. I can hardly catch my breath. I see stars if I walk up the stairs too quickly. When I walk around there's a pain

Sarah Palin made a choice. Sarah Palin, who is an idiot and therefore just doesn't get it, proudly told a pro-life conference that she considered an abortion before choosing to have Trig. Usually everything Sarah Palin says is a lie, but her well-documented attempt to conceal the pregnancy and the fact that she got that amniocentesis point to a genuine intention to terminate the pregnancy,
