Dear Draw Something Peeps
The game is bugging out on me and I can’t see who I’m playing so if I send you a picture of a penis it just means I love you.
Draw Something
I’m a spaz. But it’s not until you’ve played Draw Something with me that it becomes painfully obvious just how spazfabulous I am.
I draw like I’m high.
Yay!!! Play with me!!!!

I just sent two emails purporting my editing skills and precise attention to detail and both of them had typos.
I can’t stop giggling. I don’t think I’ll be getting those jobs. Maybe if I e-mail them back telling them I edited my e-mails and caught the typos and this is proof that I’m a good editor? Or just an asshole…

Three guesses and the first two IT’SCOLINFIRTH!!
Reading Jane Austen on my Kindle while Ken plays chess on the laptop and we monitor our sleeping baby via webcam on the iPhone.
The future is pretty awesome.

Have I told you guys lately that I love you? I do, it’s true. Anyway, you know the drill. Feel free to ignore…
The Tower stood in the center of the walled city of Aubergnon like a sentinel. It reached up to the sky in a symphony of symmetry and perfect angles. It had been built on a foundation of careful planning, and over the years, it had come to symbolize the people and culture...

– Me. About Brandon. To the teenagers making out in front of me.
Me: “One hippo, all alone, calls two hippos on the phone. Three hippos at the door bring along another four. Five hippos…” Do you ever keep reading to him even after he’s clearly lost interest just because you want to see what happens next?
Ken: Huh? Yeah. Whatever keep reading I want to see how far they take this.
Me: Ah fuck, why are you crying now?
Me: Because I’m tired. I’m so tired. And I’m tired of being tired. And I’m tired of being tired of being tired. And I’m sick of doing laundry ALL THE TIME! And no matter how much I do, there’s always more. And I’m sick of not feeling cute. I used to be cute. I used to be really cute. And I don’t want...
The Mommy Connection
We have this thing we do, my friend Carrie and I. Okay she’s not “my friend Carrie” so much as this girl I met once at a party and then added on Facebook and never really talked to again. But then we got pregnant around the same time. And had babies around the same time. And started to go crazy around the same time…
So we started doing this thing. Every Friday. We...
Me: Oh what book is that?
Random guy: Storm of Swords
Me: What is that the third one in the series?
Guy: Yep
Me: I have the fourth one if you want it.
My brain: Dude you’re being weird.
Guy: Yeah I have it too.
Me: Did you watch the TV show?
Brain: Okay let’s move it along.
Guy: Yeah it was good.
Me: Yeah I liked it. I just watched it recently. My friend gave me...

Dear Claudia of 5 months ago,
A few things:
1. You’re not ready. You might think you’re ready. You might think you want this baby out of you because “holy wow being pregnant is hard”. Suck it up. This is the easy part. Peeing every hour and walking like a duck? Pffft! Amateur. Enjoy these last few weeks because once he’s out, he’s out, and you can’t quiet him with a little...

I cried myself to sleep last night. Which I haven’t done for some time now. Someone told me this would happen. That it would get harder. Then easier. Then harder again. Right now we’re at harder. Right now we’re at throwing the blankets over our heads and crying softly until we fall asleep.
Brandon has discovered screaming. Feeling a little bored in that exersaucer? Let out a...

Feel free to ignore. Or you can read it and give me feedback. Either way. Thanks for your patience!! xo
His body thrilled with delight as her lips parted, and the kiss drew out and became deeper. His fingertips trailed, slow and languorous, down the length of her neck to the base of her throat, his kiss growing harder as he explored her, as his fingertips whispered over the sloping ridge of...

1. See Groupon deal for 50% off kennel boarding.
2. Get all excited about the possibility of getting away for a weekend.
3. Sheepishly remember that your baby is not a pet.
4. Chalk your mistake up to sleep deprivation. I SAID CHALK IT UP TO SLEEP DEPRIVATION!

Dr. Seuss for Nuggets
“‘These yellow pets
are called the Zeds.
They have one hair
up on their heads.
Their hair grows fast…
so fast, they say,
they need a hair cut
every day.’

huh…
that’s like the hair on Mommy’s big toe…”
Me: I still can’t figure out who he looks like, me or Ken.
My Mom: Well, he’s got your ears.
Me: What? My ears don’t stick out like that.
My mom: They did when you were a baby.
Me: They did?
My mom: Uh-huh, but I taped them back and now they look normal.

I lost my virginity at 16 to a boy with long brown hair who loved me and told me he would wait forever. He was sweet. Clumsy. He kissed me and held me and I have never regretted choosing him.
We were so in love, the way that only 16 year olds can be in love. But my parents pried us apart because they were afraid I was growing up too fast.
Losing him changed something in me. It was a long...
That thing where your husband walks into the room and you both simultaneously start dancing to the rhythm of the breast pump attached to your boob.
What do you mean that’s not a thing?
I have a PhD in the science
I don’t use it except to announce to people that I have one. I think it makes me sound like someone who worked hard to achieve something, which I guess I did. But honestly, labor and delivery of my bouncing (off the walls) baby boy was harder and I am infinitely more proud of the results.
My child is work. He is my job. Sometimes, like when the most exciting thing I have to recount at...

I need a buddy
If any iPhone users are playing Restaurant Story, Fashion Story or Bakery Story, please give me a heads up so I can add you, or just add me (cloudya01). Seriously, this isn’t a joke post. Don’t laugh at me.
I said stop laughing.
