Originally, J and I had planned on using the bassinet that comes equipped with this Pack ‘n Play for the first couple of months of the baby’s life; we would have the baby sleep there beside our bed for easier night feedings and as an extra precaution against SIDS. However, upon further examination of our limited […]
The Geek in Heels household is in a bit of disarray at the moment. J is sick. I am still suffering from insomnia (and am a walking zombie as a result). I sent Comang to stay with my sister for a couple of days while we try to recover and we’re missing him dearly. And […]
Here’s one that you can send to a geeky spouse or SO: Unfortunately in my case, J didn’t “get it” when I passed it along. He didn’t know that a “tetris” is what happens when you clear four lines in a Tetris game with an l tetromino. I almost felt gipped, because I thought I had […]
Yesterday, I read an article in USAToday stating that the recent wedding of Chelsea Clinton, a Methodist, and Marc Mezvinsky, a Conservative Jew, reflects the growing rate of inter-faith marriages in the US. Congrats to the happy couple — Chelsea Clinton looks to be positively glowing…and what a gorgeous gown! According to the article: Two […]
On our drive back home from Atlantic City, I asked J which 5 celebrities would be on his “freebies list.” (Just in case you don’t know what a freebies list is, Urban Dictionary defines it as “A list of 5 celebrities who, should the opportunity arise, one is allowed to sleep with without it being […]
(I need to really start making it a point to post these updates on time, as I am now almost 30 weeks.) As stated in a post yesterday, I’m starting to get really uncomfortable. My lower back constantly aches. My hands and feet swell so much at nighttime that I’m starting to have dexterity issues. […]
Lately it has come to my attention that many parents see their children as a means of retirement. I am not talking about those near (or at) retirement age who have lost their retirement funds due to the bad economy. Rather, I am referring to those who “invest” in their children from the beginning so […]
Studies have long shown that people of different cultures act differently, but a paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicates that culture even affects our cognition. Take a look at the images above and try to interpret the overall emotion of the picture. Do your eyes linger on the center man in the […]
I’m sorry for the lack of updates today. I had heard that first trimester symptoms may resurface in the third…and I’m afraid that with the third trimester starting in just a couple of days, my dreaded migraines have returned. I spent the majority of the day lying on the couch, curtains drawn and lights out, […]
Ever since I got pregnant I have been encouraging J to go out and spend more time with his friends. I figure that his days of partying will be cut back significantly once the baby arrives, so I like for him to enjoy his last “free” days and get it out of his system as much […]
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.
