This is rich.
A couple of weeks ago, Lorelle’s blog challenge was to find keywords that return your blog as the first result from a Google search. I didn’t do it. In fact, lately, I’ve become much less consumed by the popularity of my sites and the activity on my site logs, so I’m not even […]
When Marla said that trying for a baby was overrated, I got it, but couldn’t imagine how true it really is. Trying to get pregnant? Really: Not fun at all.
I know… We’ve only tried seriously for a couple of months. We have no reason (correct: almost no reason) to believe that we can’t conceive. Yet, […]
I really, really,… really thought that I would have many words of patronizing wisdom to share with all of you after going through this long and daring process. I really, really thought that after screwing up one of the seat’s arms, the second arm would turn out perfect. And painless.
Well, I may not have found […]
My dear husband has threatened to delete my site’s feed from his feed reader if I continue not posting, which is ridiculous since, a) I was the first one to threaten him because he hadn’t written in months and his feed was occupying precious space in my Sage bar, and b) he’s only subscribed to […]
So many times in my life — be it important or ordinary times — when I’m ready to throw the towel or at least scream if I can’t quit whatever it is that I feel I can’t take anymore, I am reminded of an old story…
Once upon a time, there was a girl who hated […]
Doesn’t it suck when a long vacation is over?
Some time in a previous life, when I used to work as a financial analyst for a big company, my team’s manager had just been pulled to work on a top-secret super-critical strategic project. Her manager — my VP — had asked me and a coworker to […]
I always have a little bit of a hard time when guests leave my home after a few days visit. No, I’m no Santa Martha Stewart to host friends and relatives with the luxury and exquisite thoughtfulness of the best Bed & Breakfast in town. Yet, the loneliness left once they leave is always there… […]
Once upon a time, traveling used to be fun. Packing your three pieces of clothes, your walkman and a small set of tapes for the flight was easy and took only a few minutes — or what felt like minutes… Waking up at dark on the morning of the trip, taking a shower, grabbing your […]
—You know? I don’t think I’m pregnant, but I should not be having any alcohol or sushi any more… I mean: WHAT IF I was pregnant, and I just had a beer last night?
—Ok… But you said that you don’ think…
—I know… But I should be getting my period tomorrow and I still haven’t […]
—Why are you making that culo face?
—[silence]
—What’s wrong??? Are you mad at me? Have I done something wrong???
—My server is down again. I can’t work
—Again?… Seems like you need to change hosting companies…
—I can’t. Media Temple is supposed to be THE BEST
—Oh
—Yeah [back to culo face]
What are you supposed to do when you are already […]
Without much research, I dare to say that when it comes to answering the existential question of the purpose of one’s life, there are four kinds of people:
Those that don’t care. Or better yet: Don’t think there is one. For them there is only one life, and after that there’s nothing. Therefore, living this life […]
With the Holidays coming so soon, today I’ve started working on the digital Christmas greeting we’ll send out to our friends and family this year. Compared to last year, I didn’t think I had enough ammunition of events happening in 2006, but I was surprised by the amount of images I was able to collect. […]
An umbrella category for all entries that have more to do with me, my life, and my interests, than with my work as a web designer.
