So I’ve had an entire night to sleep on it. And after thinking about it some more, talking to my mother and some girlfriends about it… …I’m starting to get excited! I think one of the reasons I was so shocked at the news is because I had a gut feeling from the beginning of […]
Two years ago today, J and I said “I do” in front of 236 of our closest friends and family. In those two years, we have never taken a vacation together (with the exception of our honeymoon). I stopped working full-time. J got laid off and remained unemployed for three, financially tumultuous months. We lost […]
As mentioned in my last post, my in-laws (J’s parents) will be visiting for 1.5 months starting this weekend. J’s parents live in Hong Kong, so we only get to see them a handful of times a year. However, each visit lasts at least a couple of weeks — the longest of which was 5 […]
Five years ago, J and I attended a fantastic New Year’s Eve party. The drinks were flowing, the props superb (Michael Jackson hats and gloves, anyone?), and the people rockin’. Needless to say, I partied a little too hard and had some trouble getting back to my then-apartment in Baltimore. Luckily, J wasn’t quite as […]
With my last pregnancy, I was especially excited that so many people I knew were due within 3 months of each other. We shared our pregnancy symptoms, progresses, and worries with each other…and we were all certain that our babies would all become fast friends when they were born. Then I lost the baby. Sometimes […]
A few years ago, Joshua Opperman made headlines when he created the website I Do Now I Don’t. I’d been engaged for three months. After a tough day at work, I came home to find that my fiancée and all her belongings were gone. Well, almost everything was gone. That beautiful diamond engagement ring was […]
The last time my sister came to visit, she asked if she could use J’s laptop to check her email. “Hold on, I’m almost done with my stuff. Why don’t you use my laptop instead?” “It’s ok, J’s laptop is right here; I’ll just use this one.” “Ermm…I don’t know the password to unlock his […]
I once dated a guy who informed me on our third date that while he found me very attractive, thought that I was intelligent, funny, and met many of his criteria, he could never see the relationship progressing to a serious level because he could never marry someone like me. “Um…why not?” “Because you’re so […]
It began with a rocky start (more on that on a later post). But finally being able to see my husband after a week of being apart was simply the best present. I cried like a baby when I came home after work Saturday night and managed to spend the whole day Sunday together. We […]
A few weeks ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. The funny thing is that although I had 350+ “Friends,” I’m pretty sure that not one person noticed my absence. Not even my husband. (Thanks, hun!) While the whole prospect made me a bit sad — because this essentially meant that something horrible could’ve happened to […]
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.
