He loves standing, and empty cups, and slapping on the wood just to here the noise. He’s discovered he can grab things, and affect the world around him. He knows if he cries, he’ll be taken care of. He’s found that spoons and bowls can be fun to play with, but he doesn’t care for the food in them. Read More »

Blah Blah Blah, that’s all you have to say. Nothing of real substance, just fluffy little thoughts that pop into your fluffy little head. You talk about clothes, and the latest fashions, who’s going where with whom. Read More »

My husband, perusing the blogosphere, exclaimed, “Why are there still so many shidduch blogs?! We’re married, that should be the end of it!” I laughed, and asked him, ” Really? The shidduch crisis should end just cause we’re married?” “Yes!”Now clearly, he wasn’t being serious, but it made me think. Read More »

My son is now 3 months old, which, for me at least, is hard to believe. Three months flew by so fast! In some ways, being a mother is a lot easier than I expected, in others, harder. Fortunately, my little boy is incredibly easygoing for the majority of the time, good with being held by others (not just me and my husband). Read More »

Yesterday was Little One’s first visit to the doctor…unfortunately, I forgot the diaper bag at home and had nothing but the baby with us. We asked if they had extra diapers before we took his off…good thing. He was in the middle of pooping and pooped all over the table and got some on mommy. He then proceeded to pee all over himself… Read More »

My father asked me this when I got pregnant, and again after the baby was born. It’s been 6 days now, and my response is: Is ANYONE ever ready for parenthood? Really and truly? It’s so unlike anything else, unlike any previous experience. You have this tiny creature who is reliant entirely upon you for his every need 24/7. Read More »

I was looking through my gmail account, and I ran across my first conversations with my husband. Re-reading them made me smile, as I think back. When we first started talking, I never would have believed we would end up married. We were too different, or so I thought. Read More »

What is my subconscious trying to tell me when in most, if not all, my driving dreams involve me being either in the passenger seat and driving, or the backseat and driving? If I was to interpret my dreams like Freud or Jung would do so, I would say that my subconscious is telling me I feel out of control, like I need to get my life back. Read More »

Admittedly, I have not been posting much lately, either too busy, or simply can’t think of anything worthwhile that I have to say. However, on this erev Yom Kippur , I would like to request forgiveness, and wish everyone a G’mar Chasima Tova and wish everyone an easy fast. Read More »

It’s a late summer night, the air humid, not a breeze to be felt. Two boys loiter in front of the local pool, lounging around, trying to look cool dragging a smoke on their cigarettes. Despite the muggy air, they don’t go back to the air conditioned pool room. They are waiting for someone, possibly several someones, they are not sure which. Read More »

Not one of my favorite holidays, I’ll admit. Fasting for around 25 hours? I don’t fast well on even short fasts, and this one is killer. True, you should be sitting in shul, or wherever, and thinking of all the horrible things that have happened to the Jewish people throughout history. Read More »

Don’t you love impulse purchases? You know, when you see something you decide you just really want and can’t live without it? Whether it be shoes, books, or even pets…Y’see today my husband and I went to Petco (due to my begging) and we were right next door to it. Read More »

My husband bought me a iPod for my birthday (If you are a longtime reader of my blog you may recall I had one…it works when it feels like it.) Combining music he had on his hard-drive, and music CJ had on her iPod, I now have 13000 songs on my ipod, including several audio books. Read More »

Haven’t posted in a while, but not in the mood to type up a whole post now. Instead, I’m gonna post a lil something I wrote a while ago. Hope you enjoy! As the submarine slowly sank into the water, and then under, I stared out the porthole watching as the scenery turned from clear air to murky water. Read More »

So we’ve driven all the way to NY and just started packing my husband’s books last night. The trunk of the car is already full, and there are still more books to pack! Plus we still need to pack his computer (his laptop in Miami crashed and burned, he’s very upset about that) and all of his CD’s. Read More »

When I woke up this morning, my husband told me he was going to go out for a drive. Then, after I call him asking him to get breakfast since he’s out (since at this point there are no dishes in our apartment) he calls me back saying he’s rented a Read More »

Thank goodness the semester is almost over. At this point I’m reading my anatomy book/ power-points, and feel like I’m reading Greek. Such as “The Hypophyseal Portal System and Blood Supply to the Pituitary System.” Fortunately (or unfortunately) the test is on Thursday and then I’m done with it. As long as I pass at least.

Today we got my husband a new bike. I got a bike last week as my “afikomen present”. Right after he got the bike, we went biking, all around the neighborhood and a nearby park, fortunately the weather was perfect for it. Read More »

This year, I’m not cleaning for Pesach. Shocking, isn’t it? Ok, well not entirely avoiding cleaning, but since we’re selling the kitchen and going to my mother’s for all of the meals, it means I have no need to make myself crazy over every little detail. Read More »

*BANG pop pop BANG*I turned over slowly, still more than half asleep. Cannons? In South Florida? Wait a sec…those weren’t cannons…those were gunshots! Still lying in bed, hearing people yelling, hearing more “bang” and “pop”, debating whether to call 911. Hearing a car drive away. Checking my phone for the time. 3 AM. Read More »
