zut suit alors!

I’m coming up on 5 months postpartum and I still feel like I have a touch of aphasia. I say the wrong words or can’t come up with words quickly enough, it’s incredibly frustrating. I can’t even blame it on sleep deprivation, kid’s been mostly sleeping through the night since about 8 weeks. At the same time I can…

the moment where I didn’t realize there was a black man cropped out of this picture and thought it was the hand of Jennifer Garner will surely be the best part of my day today.

I don’t know latin so I’m just going to assume that chest tattoo translates into “No Ragrets.”

Margaret Atwood.

You are greatly missed around these parts, Lindy!

All of these men are my boyfriends. They were fighting over my taco: I said whoever won could eat it. But while they were fighting I ate it myself. It was my last one. Next time I go to Taco Bell, I’ll be sure to get a 12 pack.

Don’t be such a paranoid android.

I’m so scared. The movie was so bad. This is such a good book, and really terrifying in today’s world.

The problem with trying to decide which dog is the best dog is that all dogs are the best dog.

Is that what he calls you, his vanilla lemonade! Level, easy? I’LL SAY, you trollop!

That's AMAZING! :)

I’m sure you’re right, I have no knowledge of Portland geography. But it feels suburban. Wide tree-lined streets, comfortable well-appointed houses, kids riding bikes.

Sharing beloved books with the littles is one of the best things. Can I make a recommendation? 3 is the perfect age to start reading Shel Silverstein poems together. My four year old can listen to Sara Cynthia Silvia Stout and Peanut-Butter Sandwich over and over (and my two year old likes them too).

What a badass. That was so satisfying to watch. It’s time people like him are made uncomfortable, so they can feel an ounce of the discomfort they’ve caused the people in there state.

One of the most horrifying parts of belonging to “Mommy” groups on Facebook is seeing the sheer number of people who ask for referrals to naturopaths, chiropractors, or “vax-friendly” doctors. This stuff is shockingly common.

LATCH system car seats are pretty easy to install. Rear-facing seats that use a drop-in seat (e.g. Chicco KeyFit) are easy with a belt, too. Nothing sucks like installing a front-facing seat without LATCH, though.

So the reeeeeaaaaalllly squicky part about this is that it on N. Williams, which for people unfamiliar with the area used to be one of Portland’s thriving black neighborhoods. A free way was built through the area, and then it has been gentrified all to hell and all the black owned businesses have been forced out for…

Oooohhh, I used to know his ex-wife. That man is a lying, cheating piece of work. Chased pretty young friends of mine. It wasn’t a secret around town. He shouldn’t be allowed to raise a boy, let alone a child. Granted, the ex wasn’t a perfect person, but ouch. She had nothing else in her life. Whole bunch of…
