One reason why I called my latest playground entry “Signo Fijo” is because my Sun sign, confirmed by my actual personality, rules that I tend to not like or pursue change. Well, that is true and not… I have in fact pursued some huge life-altering changes, but I must say that normally, on smaller things, […]
With the baby bedding finally concluded yesterday around sunset, I took some quick photos of the room and started creating some Photoshop mockups to plan the nursery wall color and mural.
After much deliberation today (1 2 3), I think I have a plan I like a lot. Much thanks go to mom and Joey for […]
If you remember, I started the year with some nice productivity goals. My plan was to work with an eye on a very financially lucrative “Target”, but understanding that I’m only human, attempt to at least meet the “Lazy” level. In any case, under no circumstance whatsoever, should I go below “Minimum”.
So the weeks start […]
I’ve started gathering a list of things I want to do and eat as soon as the baby is out of my body: A cold beer, a sinfully bloody steak, my beloved runny eggs, sushi, cheesecake, a good sausage… All right, the list is heavier on “to eat” items than on “to do” items… Truth […]
A few months ago Petie, Chris and I were talking about poor blog writing, and I was telling them about Maggie Mason’s book “No one cares what you had for lunch”. It may surprise you then, that I’m about to tell you what I just had for dinner, but hear me out people… I know […]
Last Saturday we bought a crib for Bolliti, and the excitement of the event kicked off in high gear all kinds of ambitious decoration plans for the nursery.
Since baby bedding appears to cost almost as much as a crib, and because I love sewing and have big plans of a contemporary decor and specific color […]
Our family and friends know it now. It was impossible to keep the suspense too long before we started receiving calls from our moms, dads, and sisters. They all wanted to know: Is it a boy or girl?…
Well, and I don’t blame them. Joey and I were so ready to know!… Up until now I […]
My version of us as Simpsons characters:
. . . . .
And without comparing notes, here’s Joey’s version:
He! he!… I love that he gave himself yellow-green hair. I’ve always told him that he has green hair.
You would think that the worst thing that could happen to your project is for it to be canceled… or… put on hold. But you’re wrong: This is much worse.
I’ve been cooking a meal since August. This wasn’t just any meal. It was big, important, with a hugely good and nice cause behind it. It […]
Apologies to my regular readers for the recent obsessiveness with pregnancy topics, and the narrow subject matter of this post. This one is for all pregnant women in desperate search for maternity jeans, who even before getting pregnant have the hardest time finding pants that fit well. Anyone?…
I swear I tried. Last week was my […]
When the little peanut growing inside your womb doesn’t have much material presence, you take what you can get…
I had a checkup with my doctor this afternoon. All good, all great. Time came to check on the baby’s heartbeat. I have not written about this, so I need to explain that few things compare to […]
So, no. I haven’t been dead. But the woes of the first trimester of pregnancy did take me away from a lot of things I usually enjoy… like blogging, or doing anything at all. At 15.7 weeks I’m happy to report that my energy seems to be back, as well as the appetite for delicious […]
