These are only, oh, three months after you asked me these questions. Oops. How many pumps of syrup are in Starbucks drinks? Someone in line behind me got a 14 pump drink, which seemed crazy…but then I realized I had no idea how much was in mine! Woah. That *is* crazy. Since I amRead the whole post >>
Read MoreFeeling Pretty and Such. [Ten on Tuesday]
I haven’t participated in this sort of thing in the past, but I absolutely loved today’s Ten on Tuesday questions. Friendship, adolescence, girlhood, and crazy roommates. I love chatting about these things and they are such big players in how we identify as women – so here I am! Doing my first Ten on Tuesday!Read the whole post >>
Read MoreHaving a Baby is JUST SO MUCH FUN.
And I’m not even being sarcastic! It really is. I mean, our days were awesome before, but they are just filled with So Much More Joy now. And laughter! Oh, the laughter. It’s fun, guys.

On Monday, Mike and I (and Gabe, our trusty sidekick) went to the bulk foods store to get him some popcorn, which he eats by the pound. While there, I decided to get some other staples, like, say, four pounds of chocolate chips: (aaand peanut butter chips. What? I couldn’t say no. And now IRead the whole post >>
Read MoreOnly These Girls Know How Many Times I’ve Peed My Pants.
This past Saturday night, I got together with a few friends for a long overdue girl’s night (with lots of pizza, cookies, ice cream, nail polish, and sangria).

Read MoreEmbracing the For-No-Good-Reason Wallow.
Lorelai: I think what you really need to do today is wallow. Rory: Wallow? Lorelai: Oh yeah. Get back in your pajamas, got to bed, eat nothing but gallons of ice cream and tons of pizza. Don’t take a shower or shave your legs or put on any kind of makeup at all. And justRead the whole post >>
Read MoreOn Working at a High School.
In the four years since graduating college, I’ve worked at an afterschool center/elementary school, a university, and two different high schools (aaand Starbucks for three months). The upside to this is that I’ve had a wide variety of work place experiences and job descriptions. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Most importantly,Read the whole post >>
Read MoreConfession: I’m A Documentary-a-Holic.
That’s a thing, right? The first documentary I remember watching was Super Size Me as a sophomore in college. I absolutely loved it and watched it several more times (Partly because I found it fascinating and partly to talk myself out of McDonald’s French fry cravings). I had never seen anything like it – equalRead the whole post >>

. . . I hear Gabe stirring, but ignore him because I am so tired that I’m certain my eyelids are too heavy to open.I hear Mike talk to him, and Gabe lets out a delighted squeal. Mike gets out of bed; he comes back and he talks to Gabe as he changes his diaper.Read the whole post >>
