Tomorrow is my colonoscopy, so today was my prep day. For those of you who have never had a colonoscopy, let me tell you the prep is the worst part. I know what you’re thinking, the whole concept of what a colonoscopy involves sounds pretty unpleasant, but seriously it is a walk in the park [...]

All Backed Up
I’ve been avoiding posting any updates about how my health has been, mostly because I have had nothing good to say, but tonight I felt like maybe I would do a little update.

Basically our internet has been out for the past week and a half, and trying to deal with the cable/internet/phone company is an absolute trial of every ounce of patience I have left…you know after dealing with a demanding almost-3 year old, a dog that [...]

Overheard at the Department Store
I was shopping by myself a couple of days ago (yeah, I know, shopping by myself?!?!?). I just so happened to hear the following interaction between 2 store employees, who were both probably in their early 20’s.
Girl: How’s your day going?
Guy: Swell
Girl: Huh?
Guy: Swell
Girl: Well?
Guy: No, Swell
Girl: What is swell?
Guy: It’s like well. It’s kind [...]

Can You Hear Me Now? and other ramblings…
If you’ve ever been in our house odds are you’ve seen the beautiful family portraits (yeah, I’m biased) we have hanging in our living room and on the stairs. If you’ve seen them then you’ve probably asked the following question: “What are you going to do when you have another kid?” For those of you [...]
