Hair and Taxidermy

I afford myself few luxuries. I don't get regular mani's and pedi's, I don't have an esthetician, and I don't shop very often (even though I LOVE it). In fact, I think the last time I owned a pair of boots was in 2002. I...

Cabin Fever

This past weekend was chilly and wet. The littles and I also came down with nasty colds, so the combination of the three left us home bound for three days straight. Three days straight in a teeny apartment? We got more than a little bored....

My Kind of Cool

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that I have family staying with us so I don't have time to write. The good news is I have really cool pictures from today that I couldn't wait to share. Today as we were walking...

Subway: Done!

We conquered our greatest mission since being here! Yesterday I finally got J and Z on the subway BY MYSELF. I strapped Z on in the baby carrier and we were off. Our destination was Central Park, and we made it there in great time...

This past week was full of small (even though they felt huge) milestones. Dr. J started school officially on Monday, and while that only actually consisted of fun things to get him and his classmates familiar with the school and each other, it was my...

We Made It!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but we are here in New York City and finally feeling somewhat settled. The transition was easier than I expected as far as the actual travel goes, but emotionally it's been rough for my little guy (more on...

Happening. Very. Fast.

I know that this blog was supposed to be about my experience moving to the big apple and everything in between, but life has gotten totally hectic and I haven't had the extra hour to document it. I manage to shoot off one line emails,...

My Heart in 12pt Georgia

I'm back from a short hiatus. We spent the weekend on the beach celebrating Father's Day and I have just now gotten my bearings and settled back in to the normal routine. It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend that I will not soon ever forget. I'm...

A Wing and a Prayer

It's crunch time. No more vacations, no more parties. No more dinners out or new swimsuits (even though the one I have now is SO tattered that the ass is literally falling out). We have begun our decent into our four year prison sentence term...

Uncle Sam wants my Husband

This whole dental school thing has us in a bit of a pickle. Nevermind that we have two very small children and are moving away from (well, California for one) most family and friends. We are moving to the next most expensive area of the...

Welcome!

I can't help it. I've been trying to figure out what my first post is going to be about, but I might as well just dive in, right? Besides, the ADHD that I suffer from (undiagnosed but oh, it's there) will never allow me to...
