Why do some people have a huge problem with thumb-sucking? Where do you stand on the divide?

Random Bike Story
September 4th, 2009 · View Comments
So the bike ride didn’t work so well, but I think we’ve learned some valuable lessons. First, it is a bad thing to try new things right before nap time. Second, it is a good idea to make sure Ben can comfortably sit all the way up in a helmet (we will be adding a [...]

Harry Potter and the Lesson in Values
July 17th, 2009 · View Comments
Forgive me while I wax geeky and continue to go on about values. I promise to find something new to discuss next week. We went to Boston last week and values, and the misguided values I received from my family, have been on my mind. I am doing my best not to (unfairly?) categorize my [...]

I’ve been paying attention. Nine months of instruction.
June 4th, 2009 · View Comments
Ben is nine months old. I really can’t believe how fast the time has flown by. Sometimes it’s tough, sometimes it’s, well, I don’t want to say “EASY,” but it’s really is sometimes; it is ALWAYS wonderful. I think it’s time now, however, that I admit that the only thing I can be right now [...]

I Promise to No Longer Stick My Nose in Your Child’s Belly
March 23rd, 2009 · View Comments
Photo by: A Hermida For the past week I’ve been thinking about how judgmental I’ve become as a mom. I’m not the only one who is, and I’ve been wondering why. An article by Hanna Rosin, The Case Against Breast-Feeding started it off. I was furious reading this article, I was seething and almost couldn’t [...]

It had its downside, but for the most part… (rated 4 stars)
November 21st, 2008 · View Comments
Into the Wild by Sean Penn This was a beautiful movie. I was amazed that, contrary to reviews I’d read and heard, I ended up really disliking the subject. He misinterpreted so much great reading! But watching someone make these mistakes and seeing the grief of family and friends really hit a nerve and turned [...]

The Wiki-ing of Reality
July 18th, 2007 · View Comments
I love the idea of Wikipedia. I trust, perhaps at my own peril, the basic goodness, intelligence and truthfulness of people as a mass. Sure, there are people out there who want to mess with things (*cough* Colbert), but there are too many people out there who care to see things done right. This weekend [...]

I offer to you the j(h)aiku
July 17th, 2007 · View Comments
J(h)aiku. Just another form of bad poetry. But also a way to get me to post. You can also see how far I’m running at http://runlog.media.mit.edu/users/profile/491. I’d love a site that’s as simple as this program with an rss feed, but I prefer the simplicity to the rss. Priorities, you know. Yoga-ing again. And lifting [...]

Code Monkey Dance This was so me in high school and college. Definitely made me smile, and I hope it makes you smile, too. I haven’t forgotten my promise, only where I’ve left the cord to my camera…

A story about “Brick”
July 2nd, 2007 · View Comments
This movie was UNBELIEVABLE! SOOOO good. Seriously need to watch it again, as they all talk so fast in words I don’t always catch. If you love Film Noir you will most likely love this movie. Even without seeing noir, like my husband, you will most likely love this movie. ARG! It’s impossible to talk [...]

Holy, holy, holy goodness! This is an album full of real life emotions, and it’s so perfect. The only song I do not perfectly LOVE is 222, I just don’t get it. But the album is powerful, yet light, It’s like The Ginger People’s Ginger Juice: you recognize the flavor, and everything seems really familiar, [...]

Yet another of those silly quizzes

Bored. Thought this was fun. Could be wrong, but seriously, having a picture of a pretty girl in Jane Austen dress on your site…that’s a plus. Which Jane Austen Character Are You? You are Emma Woodhouse from Emma. A classic only child personality, you are constantly trying to rearrange the world (and society) to suit [...]

This movie is getting a bad rap, but I seriously enjoyed it. Maybe you need to know people like Ben to have fun with it. Red Sox fandom, it can be like a religion. I’ve known these guys. I’ve grown up with these guys. I’ve dumped these guys. I’m interested to read Hornby’s book, because [...]

The Poor Man’s Neverending Story (rated 3 stars)
June 12th, 2007 · View Comments
There are some movies I want to see because they look good, and there are some movies I see because my head hurts and I need something stupid to watch and it’s on TV. This is the latter, but it was more entertaining than I expected. The characters are cute and sympathetic, the plot moves [...]
