I am still on vacation. And it is great. Despite monsoon-like rainstorms for the first two days and near frozen bedroom conditions (due to a super eager a/c system and more than one family member with a predilection towards extreme body temps), we’ve had a stellar time. And so have my Mom and Dad and sister and her husband and their three kids and my sister and her boyfriend and her friend and my sister and her friend (and various {Read More}

On vacay. Back soon. Havin’ a great time. No, really. Love, The Guy Getting Up With The Toddler Each A.M., The Bitsy Who Is Not Sure About Those “Tides,” and The Gal Who Leaves No Food On Trays.

One of my best friends in the whole wide world (and her equally fabulous husband) spent the weekend with us. Vicky was one of my college modmates- like roommates but awesomer- and my how things have changed since Hampshire. For starters, I have a kid now. And this was their first time meeting her. Our activities have been- ah- slightly different since Nora came along, and this was Vicky and Dave’s chance to see what a “typical” weekend with Miss N.J. {Read More}
Okay, I had WAY more than one.

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}

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}

Let’s just keep on walking, Dad. This past Friday, I suffered my first middle school breakup…since middle school. It was rough. It was also, oddly enough, with a bank. I’ve long touted the fabulousness of Chase Bank’s plethora of ATMs. And sure, that’s about it- but for a little while, it was enough. My first bank account in Chicago was with them, back in ’02. And yeah, absolutely, back then they were Bank One. But the transition to Chase was {Read More}
