While my wife is napping, I’ve been asked to guest blog. I’m the husband, Tony, the XY in the household. The big news today is that Saralyn Margaret arrived today at 9:13am, scale-tipping at 8 lbs., 14 oz., and 21 inches long. In our world this really blows away the news about Robert Goulet’s obit, [...]

But, I guess I am going anyway….
See you soon, Saralyn.
Even more…

Well – That’s an hour of my life I will never get back. At least I can say the hospital paperwork is done for now. I bet if you took all of the paperwork that goes with having a kid at this hospital and started making paper origami cranes, you’d be up to your neck [...]

I’m kicking it into high gear getting ready for the imminent baby arrival. I’ve been packing a bag, reassuring a toddler, and getting my playgroup squared away. I wish I had the gumption to clean the shower, but I just can’t seem to find the get-up-and-go. Even when I’m NOT 75 months [...]

Last night, Tony and I went out for a date. Mom and Dad came down to spend Saturday night at our house so we could all get an early start and spend Sunday together going to church, brunch and the Trunk or Treat. They said “Hey, since we’re going to be here any way, we’ll stay [...]
A baby by any other name…

Someone (who lives in Gulfport and her name rhymes with Honda, but I’m not sayin’ who) emailed me to ask about how we picked the new baby’s name. (Not that many of you are leaving questions and comments… Lurkers! Lurkers I say! Oh, fine. Just email your questions then… )
The name Saralyn came to me [...]

WE-are about to get real personal. If you’re not ready to know me that well, turn back now.
You’re sure?
OK.
We went to the doc today, and they did another ultrasound to check my amniotic fluid levels. They are less than they were last week (12.3), but are at a fine level nonetheless (9.5-ish). I wish I [...]

So I say to Tony bright and early the other day, “I Blogged!”
He says to me, “Did you strike a match?”
(Ba Dum Dump – Thissssssh) —————–
I don’t know why, but I ALWAYS think potty jokes are funny. Do you have any favorites?

The Pros and Cons of Nap Failure

I’m the kind of person who, given enough time, can find a silver lining in any situation. Few situations don’t have an upshot somewhere. For example, a tree crushed our house a few years ago, which caused us a great deal of heartache and stress. In the end, however, we got to [...]
Gorgonzola

I love me some stinky cheese!
Gorgonzola (and it’s many blue veined cousins) makes everything tastier. I’ve had it on everything from salad to steak, and it’s just delightful. Have you ever tried just crumbling it on an avocado half (a little salt and pepper, please)? YUM. It’s so high in fat [...]
