Let me count the ways …
Was our flight delayed by over two hours because the captain, who has the first freaking flight out in the morning, lives in Seattle - even though he is “based” in San Francisco - was on a delayed flight? Yes.
Did we then wait an extra 40 minutes for the [...]

We’re going into the city tonight and I pulled together a cute ensemble of a red sweater with a plunging neckline, black skirt with tights and knee high boots with four-inch heels. Um, I have to do the rubber band trick with my pants because I’m not ready to succumb to maternity clothes just [...]

There are diapers in our house. Wee little tiny ones. And they are bigger than the ones that I hope the pine nut will wear in the beginning. I knew babies came with hats, but who knew they were so wee. Now before you think we’ve jumped a gun, we had [...]

I was so excited about being so far ahead in my Christmas shopping. Like I have a couple things to pick up for my Dad, but I know what they are and just need to get off my ever expanding butt and get them. I need to order the girl’s present and have [...]

Dear Mr. Sorkin,
Watched your new episode of Studio 60 last night. It is starting to grow on me and I actually find myself laughing aloud several times an evening. However, last night there some glaring problems with your research.

Today was a wonderful day. It started with David waking me with breakfast in bed a smidge after 10:30 this morning. Venti decaf, non-fat, vanilla latte. Pink frosted donut. Half a cantaloupe cut up. And maple sausage. Seriously people, as Jessika said, he knows his audience. Much impressed.

It would seem from comments received that at some point in my life I picked up the art of subtly. Don’t ask me where I got it, as I didn’t even know I had it. So here we go …
Yes, David and I are expecting a baby early next summer. We are [...]
