The thing with a lifelong fear of heights is that as a person who is afraid of heights, you tend to avoid heights, period, and then you lose touch with EXACTLY HOW AFRAID YOU ARE. If “you” are “me”, that is. You forget. You think — because you are an idiot — that [...]

Here’s the thing: I am trying not to be so busy. I am always so busy (especially now that I’m babysitter-free due to The Single Most Ridiculous Teen Angst Drama in the History of The Planet Earth) and as a result, I run around feeling all the time like I’m LATE (this is because [...]

Well, it happened. The Bun — who is FOUR, btw, not SIX as one would expect in this situation — has lost his first tooth. I know, right? WHAT HAPPENED? It seems like just yesterday we were all in a lather because his teeth were just coming in and he was [...]

So last night we went to see Where The Wild Things Are. (And no, we weren’t baked.) (And yes, everyone else in the theatre was baked.) (And also, yes, popcorn sales were brisk.) And whoa. And also, what? WHAT HAPPENED? [spoilers below the jump]

- The Bun started dance class last week. He’d been wanting to take dance class for at least a year, I think it started with skating and then while learning how to skate, he deduced (correctly) that ice was slippery and that ballet was effectively dancing without the whole troublesome slippery ice issue interfering with [...]

Because this is such a huge rite of passage (mostly for me because my life now involves the words “alarm” and “clock” together in the same sentence), you’d think that I’d have been there with my camera, capturing every single shining moment for the future. Such as, for example, this one:
