• a era of my life behind me

  once upon a time i had horrid credit. had a defaulted credit card almost right into college, and out of college, defaulted on both my student loans. for the past 9 years i’ve been working on digging myself out of that hole. i now own a house, have two cars in my name, and upon looking at the last of my outstanding student loans from college, have $43.43 left to pay, scheduled for payment on 10/28. I’d pay it early [...]

• i used to dream

  rainy days are either very good or very bad for my psyche. today seems to be an exception. i feel very introspective, but in neither a good or a bad way. i also feel, and have all week, like i’m coming out of this fog that i only barely realized was around me, and am like whoa where am i?

• margarita

  i had one. and it was tasty. the mom’s group i’m in did a night out – it was good to have a chance to go eat out without el bebe, even if i missed him the whole time he’s onto solid foods (and by that i mean avacado for the past two nights) and doing wonderfully with it – he even slept through the night last night for the first time:

• man i am all over the place today

  today is a mostly good day. i’m wearing my favorite pants, i remembered my hello kitty slippers for under my desk (especially important since i’m wearing heels today) and my ipod is on and playing abba, currently. my new job is pretty awesome, even if it’s very busy at the moment, and i don’t feel like i have a moment to breathe. that’s not a bad thing. i’m glad to be doing something different, even if at times it’s [...]

• the end of the tunnel – the first one, anyway

  when alex was born, we were told of our road ahead. at the time, it felt like an eternity. three surgeries, the possibility of urinary tract infections (which he got in spades) and at the end, a whole new journey. but that one was too far away to think about.
  it’s hard to believe that our months of waiting, worrying and hoping have now past us, replaced by new waiting, worrying and hoping. this type is of the more normal type [...]
