So long, God-Damned Yellow Jeep. You were so…..yellow.

Well. Let there be no doubt regarding the influence I hold over Hot Firefighter Husband. He has sold the God-Damned Yellow Jeep. It is gone. There will be no more cursing when the windows can’t be found during a rainstorm, no more screeching of gears when I (accidentally!) shift incorrectly. There will also be no Read More

Question for me? A winner, plus my poor old dad.

Near the end of my first semester at the University of Notre Dame, during finals week, it occurred to my friends and me that we had not studied enough for our theology exam, which was the next day. We could have pulled an all-nighter. We could have gone to a planned study session. Or we Read More

New family-planning perspective, + I’M AT MY COLLEGE REUNION!

Yesterday I became a fan of China’s one-child policy. I spent the day traveling to Chicago with the Pterodactyl, leaving the girls in the hands of their father, and am now convinced that a country with a majority of one-child families would lead to a more peaceful, stable environment for all. There would be less Read More
