We’re still having a taco. Just try to stop us.

13 weeks! I’m officially in my second trimester! We celebrated last night by eating a ton of tacos. This is only slightly different from the other three times we “celebrated” with tacos this week. Not to mention my Saturday afternoon “celebratory” tostada fix at the ‘Famous Taco and Burrito King.’  I’ve come a to very important conclusion thus far in the pregnancy; even though this is the coolest thing I’ve ever done, even though it’s absolutely awesome to know I’m {Read More}

Big ol’ project, hmm?

Well, as some people may know by now on Facebook (I can’t believe I just typed that)…my “big project” was the pregnancy that I was trying not to blurt out! (And the hidden nausea, weight gain, etc, etc, [and sadly] etc…) But yes! P.J. and I are expecting a kiddo in early November! Doesn’t that make it sound like we’re waiting by the front door, anxiously peering out the foyer curtains? Well, if you disregard the late night rehearsals, endless {Read More}

I need a vacation from my vacation.

I think that should be up there with “I don’t do Mondays,” “Hang in there,” and “I’m with stupid.” (Also, as it was recently pointed out to me: phrases on a mug= witty, ironic humor. Phrases on a tee shirt? Not quite so classy.) Anyhow, as I’ve recently come back from *Cali ’09,* I thought I’d share some highlights. Highlights, mind you, and not full blown tales. I am EXHAUSTED, after all. Los Angeles- Met Scott Bakula. (Life highlight, I {Read More}

It’s functional AND good-looking.

Happy late March and belated Saint Patrick’s Day! Also, happy early spring-carrythatextrahoodie-sureit’swarmnowbuthaveyoucheckedtheweather-rainbootswouldbebetterthanthosecuteballetflats-goodgodit’s30degreesthismorning? Best time of the year. Except summer. And fall. And now for a little public transit-related public ettiquette- If you are a person who pees on the bus, stop it. You are SO close to actually being out of doors where it would be marginally more acceptable to empty your bladder. Yes? Okay. Public nose pickers. Even if you are tilting your head so as not to be {Read More}

Uh, hi March.

Whoops. So, um, been a tad busy with a li’l project or two I’ll reveal shortly. But in the meantime- travel/writing/more travel/more (but unfortunately, of lesser quality) writing/and some meetings. Two weekends ago Peej and I went to Cincy and had a great Subway experience on the way through the state of Indiana (the chain restaurant, I mean- I don’t believe Indiana has a transit system. I could be dead wrong) wherein we, due to the Lenten Season, ordered non-meat {Read More}

My B.

That’s what my brother-in-law Tom says when he does something wrong. My B. It’s almost like saying “my bad” is gonna take up too much time; let’s just lock & load and fix this thing. My B.  Anyhow, I’m terribly sorry for being such a lax blogger. My [B]B.  Posting is the only thing I’ve let slide in the recent rush of deadlines and activities…except maybe advanced personal grooming. (Is that an acceptable use? You know, when people are mucca {Read More}

Did you send me a Valentine yet?

I spent the better part of the weekend (Saturday a.m. until…Monday evening) curled in a ball and wishing for a shotgun. Recently having been afflicted with a vicious cross between food poisoning and spinal meningitis (and, having made up a disease, unable to be CURED from such), it was a lousy way to spend 72 hours. Add insult to injury (literally, someone called me fat- okay, I made up that part), it was a whopping 65 degrees outside. Which would, {Read More}

Plus, I got a new hat with wooden flower buttons.

Firstly and foremostly, happy first birthday Cole Sebastian Grant! (And Scout Delilah Kosner, oh my goodness…all these babies in my life turning one! Specifically two of them.)  P.J. and I went to Boston this past weekend to party down with the nephews, sisters and parentals; it was a whirlwind 36 hours of non-stop meals, Harvard trippin’ and baleful eyes peering over the front of my aerobed at 5am. Plus dinner in the North End! And a brunchy party with cupcakes {Read More}
