I'm not sure where the title came from, but I know it's from SOMEWHERE: a book chapter? a film? Bonus points if you know; consider yourself smart.
The changes to which the title refers are two, really. First, after all my going on about adoption, we found out today that we [...]
So, the rash faded away into the sunset, thank goodness, and my hindquarters have gone back to looking like themselves (or has gone back to looking like itself?) again. What the hell was that, anyway? Neither TTD nor I have a clue.
It is hot hot hot hot hot here, proper [...]
Oh geez, the guilt. Here I make all kinds of big promises to myself and others, and totally renege. Is that how you spell renege? Help.
But it's symptomatic of what's going on with me these days, which is, I think, a big, cosmic sigh of relief after the last [...]
Mea culpa, mea culpa...here I announce with abandon that I'll be posting every day for a month, and promptly don't. I can only plead the most bizarre illness I have ever had, and one that I hope you never get, because it's just STRANGE. Viz: on Monday I got a [...]
We went for our first homestudy interview today at the adoption agency. It was wonderful, actually; TTD and I always enjoy getting to go for a drive alone together, and the interview itself, which lasted more than two hours, was kind of a perfect mix of information dissemination, couples counseling, [...]

I have always had quiet birthdays (except for my 32nd in India, where I was feted and wined and dined and showered with presents, because they are all about over-the-top celebration there). But here, in the States, things have tended toward family parties, ice cream and cake, a generous and [...]
Thank you for all your comments! It was such fun to log on today and find all these good wishes for both the birthday and the Rugrat (the latter being, I'm afraid, the way TTD and I refer to the daughter we hope finds us). Cyberspace has given me a [...]
I know I said I was going to write more PPD-type stuff, but I am feeling like taking a break from that: I can only immerse myself in it for so long, you know? I'll get back to it, but not right now. In the meantime, thanks for the comments, [...]
It's been a very baby week. First, The Motel Manager had a beautiful, adorable son on May 14th, who spent all last night screaming his head off, so everyone head over there, read all about it, and offer her some words of fellow-feeling, solace, or wisdom, whatever you have [...]
