Reverent Sundays: Food for Thought

Feb 05. 2012

Welcome to today’s installment of Reverent Sundays, where I write about an aspect of my faith. This can deal with recent books I have read on Christianity, my thoughts on religion and current issues, as well as particular messages I find touching and/or powerful. I am aware that most of my readers are not religious, and that is fine — you are more than welcome to not read these posts if they make you uncomfortable, enrage you, or bore you to tears. I am open to debates and discussions in the comments section as long as everyone remains respectful. Enjoy! This weekend is a crazy one for our household (and I'm not only talking about the Superbowl). For this reason, today's Reverent...

Thrush!

Feb 03. 2012

Last night, I noticed that Aerin's tongue was green.  8-O Okay, so it wasn't that bad. She has always had a white patch on her tongue, which is common in many babies due to their milk/forumla-only diet. But last night, when she happily stuck her tongue out at me during her bath, I noticed that the white patch had taken on a green tinge. It didn't seem to be bothering her so I did not feel it warranted a visit to the ER. But I did take her to the doctor first thing this morning to have it checked out, and my suspicions were confirmed: Aerin has thrush. If you can remember, Claire had a stubborn case of thrush when she was young. In...

Cubicleism: Amazing Office Whiteboard Art

Feb 01. 2012

At my very first full-time job, I had a huge whiteboard hanging in my cubicle. I used this whiteboard to mostly write reminders for myself and coworkers, but sometimes we would leave messages for each other (à la whiteboards on the doors of college dormrooms), and once in a while they would become spaces for creative doodles and inside jokes. I believe that my finest work on this whiteboard derived from the time someone stole my stapler — too bad it wasn't a red Swingline stapler! ;-) — and I drew a cartoon of Milton from the movie Office Space asking, "Do you have my stapler?" I thought that cartoon was pretty dope, and received many compliments on it. (Sadly, I never took a...

Claire’s First Trip to the Liberty Science Center

Feb 01. 2012

First children are bound to feel neglected and resentful at times when a younger sibling comes along. So far, Claire has been doing splendidly with the addition of Aerin into our lives, but there are moments here and there where I can see the sadness in her eyes when we are preoccupied with Aerin. :-( To help her know that we will never stop loving her, this past Sunday, we decided to give Claire some "alone" time with mommy and daddy by taking her to the Liberty Science Center. (J's parents graciously agreed to watch Aerin while we were out.) We actually live just 15 minutes away from this wonderful, interactive science museum and I had been dying to take Claire...

Happy Birthday to My Best Friend!

Jan 27. 2012

J turns 34 today. I see no reason to hide his age, because he becomes more handsome, more delightful, and more lovable to me with each passing year.  A snapshot of my handsome husband as he waits for me on our wedding day.(Photo by Danny Weiss) Circa 1997. We look SO young here! Our bodies may have aged, but we still love each other with achildlike giddiness. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. May all your wishes come true, and more. :-)...
