Crisis? Confusion? or Negative Self Indulgence?
Posted by E-George on August 31, 2008
This has been a time fraught with reflection and, pardon the cliche, soul searching. Not so much regarding having a baby or being a parent. That is its very own compartmentalized panic attack that I only take out and play with when I’m overly tired and know I won’t be able to control it.
No, [...]

More baby as produce
Posted by E-George on August 27, 2008
I had cataloged the list of produce (or grocery store) items that a baby website associates to the growth schedule of a gestating infant. I thought I’d update the list to where we are, as of this week: banana, length of a carrot, spaghetti squash, a large mango, length of an ear of corn, [...]

Come to me, mommy superpowers!
Posted by E-George on August 26, 2008
I don’t like holding someone else’s newborn. The pressure is too great. The parents are too paranoid. The mother is watching. Judging. The baby is too little.
Last night I held (more accurately, I was passed the baby from another classmate who made it look like the easiest thing in the world to hold a curled [...]

I.O.U.S.A.

I want to see this film more than I want to see Tropic Thunder. Of course, it’s not coming to Albuquerque, so I’m probably going to have to wait to Netflix it. It is, however, showing in Denver, which is apropos given the existence of the Denver Mint. It smacks of alarmist propaganda, but given [...]

Self Portrait
Posted by E-George on August 19, 2008
I’m calling it, “An Egg With Legs and Tyrannosaurus Arms”
And it accurately reflects what I look like. On a good day.

Bummers of Pregnancy: Spacial Distortions
Posted by E-George on August 12, 2008
I am like a cat whose had its whiskers clipped. I keep trying to fit through spaces that simply won’t accommodate me without a generous application of PAM cooking spray and some serious grunting, heaving, or splaying.
Case in point: Matthew and I bought a second car on Sunday. *gasp!* No! Surely not! Oh, yes. We [...]

Bastardized iced decaf mocha
Posted by E-George on August 6, 2008
Even the most stalwart among us has cravings once in a while. Those who deny it are probably lying somehow. Today, I was craving an iced vanilla latte, but let’s face it. The stats for one of those is pretty horrible. I’ll grant you, they’re not as horrible as, say, a caramel frapuccino or [...]

Tropic Thunder

So rarely does a movie come down the chute that I really want to see. This is one of those movies.

Modern feminism reborn?
Posted by E-George on August 5, 2008
I wonder if Gloria Steinem could have seen this coming, 30+ years after crusading against it. It’s a CNN article about a new, and growing, niche of women who are stay-at-home wives. Wives, not mothers. These are women who have the option to and have chosen to stay at home and care for the house [...]
