Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Just as Claire got better from her cold, I caught it…and managed to pass it on to Aerin as well. 🙁 The good news? J’s parents gave me some Chinese cough medicine that made me feel infinitely better. Only when I looked at the label did I […]
So this was announced yesterday: (image source) As someone who vastly prefers physical keyboards to those on touchscreens, I can’t help but show some interest in the new Microsoft Surface. And as much as J and I love Apple computers, we aren’t fans of iOS due to its restrictive platform. Both of us own Android […]
I know many of you read this blog through an RSS reader, but if you have a moment, click on through to see my new layout! (If you view the site via Internet Explorer, you might miss out on some CSS hover transition effects!) Some of the new features I have implemented include: Front page […]
The thing about depression is that nobody can really understand how you feel unless they have been through it themselves. And even then, their experiences could be completely different from yours. When I first wrote of my current struggle with depression, I got the feeling that a few commenters believed the condition to have suddenly […]
Our family is exhausted. Little Aerin is teething — and has been for the past 1.5 months — and she has been extra cranky, in addition to waking up 4-6x a night. Claire’s first teeth sprouted just before she turned 7 months old; Aerin is now 7.5 months old and those pearly whites have yet […]
Earlier today a friend sent me the following screenshot: I have blacked out his company name from the screenshot to respect his privacy. Can you see the problem?

I confess that when I watched the first season of Mad Men, I couldn’t understand what the big hype was about. Sure, the costumes were spectacular and nostalgia for this era was understandable, but I believed the plot and storyline were a bit too dry for my taste. But I kept watching, and boy, am […]
One of the steps I am taking on my road to recovery is to exercise — not only for the physical benefits, but for the added endorphines as well. As mentioned in a previous post, my doctors have recommended yoga to help my neck heal and as a way to help me relax. I also […]
Thank you all for all your kind comments and messages regarding my last post on depression. I am doing better, but I believe that we are still a long ways to go to start feeling like my normal self again. My therapist is encouraging me to partake in activities I once enjoyed, and to take […]
My “big announcement” isn’t so much of an announcement as it is an update for those who read this and genuinely care about what has been going on in my life and what caused, and will continue to contribute to my absence from this blog. My depression has returned. I am back on therapy and […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
