Mom to Bee

I don’t like to generalize or exaggerate but every. single. driver in Seattle is a fucking moron. On an unrelated note, I’m being entertained beyond belief by a, let’s say, unstable man in a downtown Starbucks who is enraged that the staff won’t allow him to roll his “cigarettes” on the table. Now he’s mumbling [...]

And by “heaven’s pool” I mean that swimming in our pool will surely cause your untimely demise. NOW I remember why “empty, clean and store pools” was on our weekend to-do list… Song title: Heaven’s Pool by Feng Shui

It seems that this is the week for confessions. So here it is: I. Am. Lazy. Like pathologically lazy. Here I am, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon on a brilliantly sunny day, with Bee asleep for at least another hour or so, and I can’t even get myself to concentrate fully on writing a [...]

Lately I’ve been slightly (read: obsessively) concerned with the decor of our new(ish) home. See, we moved from a slightly renovated 1973 house into this lovely 2004 home, which happens to be 150% larger than our old place. So our five Target picture frames are no longer gonna work. In other words, “we’re gonna need [...]

I love shopping. I’ve discovered in the last two years that there is something I love even more than shopping for myself. It’s shopping for Baby Bee. You don’t have to try anything on, there are no body issues (yet) and what is better than having an adorably-dressed little girl on your arm? NOTHING. That’s [...]

I imagine what most people do when it is nearly 100 degrees outside… Go to the pool/beach/lake? Turn on the air conditioning? Hunker down inside the mall/movie theater where it’s nice and cool? While all those options sounded enticing when the temperature INSIDE my house reached the mid-80′s… Yeah, that was the temperature INSIDE the [...]

This week, the Bachelors finally get to shrug off the heavy weight of that maple leaf flag and head on back to the States. Pennsylvania Powwows Jillian, donned in her Bachelorette Trademarked skinny jeans and boots, first visits Reid’s hometown of Philadelphia, PA. Is it just me or did Jillian seem drunk before she even [...]

Yesterday morning, I was a prisoner in my own home. “Jesus Christ, Mama Bee! What the fuck has got your panties in a bunch today?!” you say. Watch your mouth, little lady! We don’t say “panties” in the Hive. Fuck, why don’t you just say “moist” and “naughty” while you’re at it. Jesus, you kiss [...]

On Friday evening, as I attempted to drive the one-hour distance to Seattle in 30 minutes (yeah, um, that didn’t work so well) I realized something that is disturbing to me… I think I might be falling out of love with Seattle. For shame, I know! Ever since living in Seattle for my college and [...]

A little delayed on the blogging (sorry!) but we finally got all our Christmas decorations up! (Sorry about the photo – it was really foggy the night we finished the house!)We decided to go simple with the lights this year. First, we realized that we would be flirting with disaster by attempting to get lights [...]
