Dear Fall Television Season…Welcome Back.
Did you watch Glee last night? It’s not for everyone. But for us? LilZ and I? It is a show made just for us. Last night’s episode made me SO HAPPY. From the hotness of Mr. Shuster to the hilarity of the brochures in the Guidance office. And I didn’t even mention the music! Or the celibacy club. They have a celibacy club! And yes…I know the president was speaking at the exact same moment as Glee aired. Here’s the thing…I’ve been reading... Read More

Good Morning
I broke my favorite coffee cup some time this year. It really devastated me…it was perfect in every way. This one – although smaller than I like – may finally be the replacement. There is something I am finally going to have to admit out loud: My kids wake up TOO EARLY. See…before AndyZ was weaned, we would give him his morning bottle before 5am and he would sleep until 7am or later on the weekends. His sister, since they share a room, often slept until...
