What a weekend. My Man in Moseley’s laptop busted after we put it thru the test of a 5 hour skype marathon. Both of us are heartbroken. No email, no video calls. Good thing I have this face to look at to cheer me up.

Pregnant?

I had a dream last night that I was pregnant. I didn’t know I was pregnant, I didn’t think I was pregnant, in fact I knew it was almost impossible that I could be pregnant. But none the less people kept commenting on my belly and asking me, “Are you pregnant?”
Pregnant

Did not, do not, want [...]

Long-Distance Love and the Power of Email

update: Man in Moseley is now Man in Kentucky. And I am now Woman in Kentucky too. We moved to the Bluegrass state!

If a woman is going to endure a long distance relationship that spans a continent and an ocean, may she be lucky enough to have a man like My Man in Moseley…and have [...]

We made the local news!

I can’t help but share this with you all! We made the local news in Portland.
(What really makes me smile is that Lucca is our biggest fan, the you tube clip has seen 55 views, and I’m pretty sure he is responsible for 50 of them. He can’t get enough of his momma (or [...]

Flights of Fancy and Cuddling with Carpenter Ants

This afternoon at work I daydreamed of either getting irresponsibly piss-ass drunk or running untrained in an ultra-marathon.
What was this about?
I can’t be sure, but I think it had something to do with a desire to escape.

6 Words that Describe my Life

My favorite blogging dessert, MommyPie, tagged me with a Meme. I’ve never done a meme before, so this is my inauguration into a time-honored blogging tradition.  This meme calls us to define life in six words and then tag five other people.  Here are my 6 words that describe my life right now. What are yours?
1. Mommy
2. iHeart

Falling in Love as a Single Mom

My single mom soul mate, Ms Single Mama, asked me to guest post on her blog and write about falling in love as a single mom.
While she is in Denmark, enjoying a Dane, I have the honor of sharing with all her readers my story falling head over heals in love with my Man [...]

Snap Out Of It, Self! Life is Goood!

 
This was going to be a stellar day, no?
I jumped some rope listening to Moby this morning and practiced my kegals so I wouldn’t pee my pants (all those who have gone thru childbirth know what I am talking about); I did a bit of Yoga; I drank coffee from my favorite mug and listened to [...]

Rain Sets In

 
Do you know how beautiful an early morning thunderstorm is? It’s a bittersweet beauty though,because after the thunder comes the rain, and the rain makes me a bit melancholy. 
 
6am, sipping espresso from my Moseley coffee mug, sitting outside in the warmish summer morn, suddenly the whole sky shakes and rain begins to pour. I grab [...]

Love. Love. Love. Love.

How do I begin to tell you about the week I had with the Man in Moseley? I know I promised details, but I don’t think I’ll be able to deliver. My mind feels like mush, so completely drowned in the endorphins of love. I can’t see straight, speak coherently, or write…
I am in love. [...]
