Earlier today, I saw this personalized fridge magnet clock by Designplus and let out a delightul little yelp. What a cute and fun way to organize your tasks and chores! I wanted to get one right away for our cluttered-with-too-many-papers-and-pictures fridge. Then I noticed something. What was this? Is that…a man jumping over a crouched […]
‘Sex and the City 2’ Eighties Flashback
These pictures have been plastered all over the web these past few days. Will Sex and the City 2 feature a flashback to the garish eighties? Charlotte and Miranda’s outfits aren’t too surprising – Charlotte has the adorably preppy Lilly Pulitzer look down pat, and Miranda has drawn the short end of the fashion stick […]
Tater Tot Baby Blog
I was planning to continue writing about Tater Tot here, or even perhaps create a subdomain for it. However, J was insistent on creating a separate blog devoted entirely to our little one. I finished it last night (stupid WordPress!) and it is now live at http://www.tatertotlau.com. The new blog will feature three writers: Tater […]

Major Apologies!
I’ve made a huge, significant boo-boo. Remember the winner of the tagline contest? Well, I had compiled the list of entries incorrectly.

Sometimes I want to fast-forward and get to the exciting stuff, like finding out the sex of the baby, feeling it kick…even distinguishing its body parts on the ultrasound!

Scooter the Maltese was a mere 8 cm tall. That’s 3 inches, people. Please excuse me while I go cry in the corner. […]
