will I pass(port) as me?

I’m getting my first passport stamp today… Just to give you a little idea of how it’s going to go down at the airport… “Passport please.” The TSA agent will then look from me to the passport, and from the passport to me. This will repeat several times. He may even call a buddy overContinue reading “will I pass(port) as me?”

A brief history on sleep in my house.

Fadra is giving away a Tempurpedic Cloud bed. When Cody and I go on dates we generally end up in mattress stores spooning on Tempurpedic beds. I do not lie. It makes the sales people very uncomfortable. But if they don’t want us lying on them then they should A) not make them so comfortableContinue reading “A brief history on sleep in my house.”

the tamales say “you’re good!”

I am currently awaiting the delivery of Tamales to my Chicago hotel room. This really has nothing to do with anything, I’m just not entirely sure I’ll ever be in this particular situation again and I feel it needs to me mentioned, because honestly, has there ever been a time in your life where youContinue reading “the tamales say “you’re good!””

everybody hates everything!!

Have you ever looked around and felt as if you are in a swirling vortex of negativity and complaints? The last few weeks have felt that way for me. (I mean, it’s pretty much my fault for writing about religion, accepting others, pregnancy, teddy bears and politics within a week’s timeframe. That’s practically begging forContinue reading “everybody hates everything!!”

by the numbers.

11 weeks 3 days pregnant. 28 weeks and 4 days to go. 6 pounds lost in the last week. (Which is also why there are 0 belly pictures.) 2 times I have scared Addie out of the room from retching. 120 dollars for a 15 day supply of generic Zofran. 4 weeks without a workingContinue reading “by the numbers.”

lovetines.

There comes a point in every HG pregnancy (let me know if I’m wrong) where IVs become little vacations. Especially when done in those really fancy hospital arm chairs with nurse call buttons and warm bags of saline wrapped in blankets to snuggle. IVs mean you get to feel partially human again without having toContinue reading “lovetines.”

blind bokeh.

There’s a certain type of photography I envision in my head. Today I stood under a tree and made Cody stand by me as I explained my perfect picture (of course I didn’t have my camera, but trust me, epic.) I remember a post that Zack Arias wrote about seeing a picture he was aboutContinue reading “blind bokeh.”

your looks really are the first thing to go…

I have misled many people into believing that I am coasting along in this pregnancy. (Which is fine, it’s just not the truth.) The truth is I am very ill approximately 20 hours a day and this week has been the worst. I’m not sure if it’s simply because I’m running out of brave orContinue reading “your looks really are the first thing to go…”

a pregnancy acceptance speech of sorts.

First of all I would like to thank my body for taking on this task, I know it’s not an easy one, but man, you’re great. Second I would like to thank a certain receptacle in my life for supporting me through my multiple heaves. You haven’t let me down once. You know who youContinue reading “a pregnancy acceptance speech of sorts.”

the one about the gays.

I was having a particularly rough day in high school when a boy named Jacob Orosco noticed how down and out I was. He performed an ice skating routine for me right in front of the office to cheer me up complete with singing and a grand finale. The next week he was gone. HeContinue reading “the one about the gays.”
