Park it! Or don’t.

Since living in San Diego, we have never taken advantage of the Balboa Park Tuesday promo. Each Tuesday of the month, different Park museums offer free entry to county residents. We’ve talked about it, but never gone. Until today. Sort of. We stopped and grabbed some sandwiches to eat at the park. (By the way, Whole [...]

This Sushi’s on a Roll

I didn’t try sushi until I moved to San Diego about 12 years ago. Okay, so I’d had California Rolls, but I don’t really consider that very close to “real” sushi. But a friend took me out to try sushi and had me try just about every type of sushi you can find. And I [...]

Gratitude in my Attitude: The beginning

As you may have, ahem, noticed I’ve been struggling. With a lot that I won’t get into right now but may later. Or may not. I’m not sure. But one of the things that has been bothering me is this: I look at what we don’t have and what isn’t working way too much. It’s enough [...]

You know how motherhood sometimes just chews you up and spits you out? Today is one of those days.

Cleaning house

I am really and actually starting to feel like I’m getting some of the clutter cleared away. We live in a tiny place and that is HUGE for me. We really have so little storage that clutter piles up quickly. I have some more pictures to upload soon and maybe I’ll figure out how to get [...]

Behind blue eyes

When I found out I was pregnant, I really and truly wanted a blue-eyed baby. Boy or girl, blue eyes please. My dad has the most amazing blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Blue as the sky and so bright. They are striking. I so wanted my little boy to have those eyes. Instead, he got the [...]

Original, y0

I just had to share this pic that I made while goofing around with Picnik. I originally took it when I was trying to participate in a 365 project. I didn’t make it a whole year. But this was while I was in school, taking a literature class. On Proust. It was an amazing class. [...]

It’s a weighty issue

becky — Mon, 04 May 2009 01:18:57 +0000

Okay, mothers. I’m a little miffed at you. You and your secrets. Oh yeah, you tried to help me by telling me a few secrets here and there, things you swore no one talked about. The underbelly of motherhood. Things to watch for, things to help me keep my sanity. But not one of you mentioned this. [...]

Dance, little boy, dance

Last Friday was my best friend’s birthday. She came over for a low-key dinner, to visit and to see the kid. And that kid loves playing with his auntie. She brought over a movie, one that she’d told us we needed to see. So we did. Nacho Libre. I hadn’t planned to see that movie. Like, ever. [...]

I am trying…

really, I am. I am still filled with so much sadness for Shana and disinterest in things past work obligations and holding my little guy as tight as I can. I will get my groove back at some point. I promise. Soon.
