guilt. a lot of motherly-effing guilt.

confession time. where are my rosary beads? do they have those for non-catholics? who knows. i have rosary beads anyway, which is another story. oh, you want to sidetrack? ok. when i studied in london (back in 2000 when i was young, chubby, and practically drunk for 3 months abroad) i spent part of my … Continue reading →

elmo in the hizzouse

last year when we were at home depot after christmas m spotted a singing elmo stocking and thought it would be perfect for our new baby THIS christmas. i had my doubts because i’m more of a “traditional christmas stocking” mindset. however, because m isn’t that into christmas as it is (we may need marriage … Continue reading →
