This past weekend- to quote The Office- rocked my face off.To start the festivities, our lovely friends Annie and Jared came for a visit on Wednesday night (which, I realize, is not the weekend. Unless you’re 20 years old. Which I am!) and stayed through today. This is great. And I’m superbly happy that they stayed with us, as their dance card was quite full with friends and a wedding and such…that it was a good way to guarantee we’d {Read More}
And no baby classes this time, either!

A good friend of ours (and neighbor! Like real people who have neighbor friends!) recently lent me his copies of Brain Age 2 and The Curious Village for the Nintendo DS. This is timely. As someone who cannot for a day lapse on the staving off o’ dementia, not to mention the much-debated Preggo Brain (’cause as much as I hate to rely on hormonal excuses, I showed up for work last month sans diapers and/or milk. For a ten {Read More}
Today is Best Friend Day.

…At least on the blog. And today’s best friends are Lily (age 4) and Nora (age 1.5). They do everything together. Except baby stuff. (‘Cause as Lil’s quick to point out- she is NOT a baby. But Nora is. She’s a baby toddler. Like a big baby.)
Strangely, True Blood did not play into the dream AT ALL.

There was a fountain here a sec ago. Emma and Dan have left. Boo. However, we no longer have 8,000 glasses, cups, and mugs in/on the sink/ dishwasher/ countertops. (Flynn girls pride themselves on hydration.) No one is making me laugh like a loon by announcing “Hey, brotherrr” (a la Arrested Development) every time someone enters the room. But then again, no is giving me palpitations by making me wonder what train stop they’re taking home/if the alarm is properly {Read More}

My youngest sister is in town! Em and her boyfriend Dan have been here since Tuesday night. It’s part visit, part graduation trip for Dan, and part Nora seeing the people that go with the faces in her picture book. (Win/win/win.) It’s pretty fun having people from out of town- especially if said people are sisterish types- because it allows me the chance to do something for which I so rarely find the time: be a tourist. Yesterday we spent {Read More}

OhKAY! Today marks the anniversary of D-Day, the founding of the YMCA, and the coronation of the German King Henry II the Saint. Way more importantly [personally/distressingly/not surprisingly] is my birthday. (It is also the birthday of my nephew Quinn, my cousin Eammon, and my favorite teacher Ed Udel. I think I’ve made my case. Also born today is David Abercrombie, founder of Abercrombie and Fitch, a brand which I have never worn- I’m about five…ish… years too old- but I’m {Read More}
