The BebeDeux Baby Pool is now closed. Congratulations to Kristin, who guessed 11/1/11, 9:00am, 6lb 3oz, 19.5″! Tick, tock, tick, tock, the time is near! With just a few days left until my due date, I thought it would be fun to create a baby pool. The best part? The winner — or the person […]
Snowtober 2011
This is the scene outside our window right now: They say that we should be expecting up to 5 inches of snow tonight. With just a few days to go until my due date, I am a tad bit worried, to say the least. I know five women whose due dates were within a week […]
Safe Deposit Boxes: The New Savings Method?
A few weeks ago I looked into procuring a larger safe deposit box to store our valuables and important documents, and I had a heckuva time finding one! All the bank branches within a 15-mile radius had waiting lists at least a year long. And the CitiBank in Chinatown where we had been guaranteed a […]
Celebrity Sightings and Meetings
I just finished watching the season premiere of Dexter and was surprised to see that Colin Hanks would be playing this season’s villain. Don’t get me wrong — I know that he is a great actor and would probably knock the role out of the park, but having met him in person, it is a bit […]

I remembered how I, along with other drivers, stopped our cars and turned our radios on full blast while we stared in horror at another plane crashing into the second […]

For today, I met up with this lovely lady… To attend a fancy bloggers’ reception hosted by this tech company… Wherein we learned about a bunch of new products and ways to share media, met some cool people, grubbed on yummy catered food, and enjoyed an open bar (but only […]
Three Links
My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I […]
My Exciting Friday Night
Last night, I got to meet one of my all-time favorite authors. I also indulged in the best fried chicken in New York. And that was one of the most exciting things to have happened to this 6-months pregnant mother of a 9-month old in a very very long time. Sad, isn’t it? The rest […]
The World Map of Useless Stereotypes
Admittedly, the map seems a bit centered around New York, but hey, it was created for the NYTimes Magazine! You may also like: Judgemental Subway Map of Manhattan What if the Family Circus Lived in Park Slope… The Internet as Manhattan Neighborhoods How Archer is Just Like Futurama
The Internet as Manhattan Neighborhoods
Amanda Peyton, the creator of geo-blogging site MessageParty, has designed a map of internet services based on Manhattan and its neighborhoods: The reasoning behind each placement is as follows: Twitter + Wall Street: Frenetic, Jumbled, Terse, but incredibly powerful Foursquare + East Village: The roots of the service were in the EV and the best […]
