- first time mom might not show much

I had a huge discussion with HR about maternity leave when I was interviewing. I wasn’t even pregnant, but I consider maternity leave part of my compensation and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t taking a step back when I changed companies. I was headhunted and didn’t have to leave my company, so I felt largely in…

it never goes well to share a name ahead of time. I forgot to warn my husband of this and he floated one of our names to his parents while they were visiting and the reaction was “oh.. hmm.” I shut all that down real quick after that. we hadn’t even picked out names for real at that point, I was like 14wks!

not surprised at all by this, unfortunately. when I first saw this video my immediate thought was “this girl has gone through some shit.” I taught many students like her. you don’t get to that level of not caring about “authority” without having been abused and betrayed many times over. and then this asshole cop comes…

Timberland Wodehouse. So popular in my last office that nearly every guy had a pair.

proc summary and proc univariate are SAS calls. hence my “Lordy!” :-)

SAS jokes on Jez. Lordy!

got my wedding dress via modcloth. wonderful dress. got my reception dress there, too!

a kid at 5 is not surviving off of solely breast milk. hell, a kid at 1 typically isn’t either.

we ended up saving money via our planner. she knew videographer and photographers that were still building their portfolios and they were an absolute steal. unfortunately, she knew no such florists. omg flowers are expensive.

we were on the fence abt the photo booth and in the end we pulled the trigger. fiance and I made props. guests LOVED it and we have great pictures from it. I didn’t think I would be but I’m so happy we splurged on it.

I think that’s just a lyric video. A real one will come later.

Obviously. They cut and run from him so fast, there is no possible way they didn’t know it was 100% true already.

Oh honey, you poor thing.
