A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
Let's get off the topic of politics for a moment and focus on something happy! :) I hit 16 weeks yesterday, a milestone for sure. Between now and 20 weeks, Kit will do some real growing, and I'll do some major sleeping or eating -- or both! -- as a result. And smack in the middle of that, we find out Kit's sex! The great thing is, we're going to find out with our families around us. As … [Read more...]
I see your truuuue colors, and that's why I love you I sometimes wish you never had a thought in your head again. Sorry for butchering your song, Ms. Lauper. But when it comes to true colors of certain Americans shining through this (and the 2008) election season, one only has to look to Twitter to find out how people really feel: In case you were hopeful that Obama winning a second term was … [Read more...]
I absolutely have to post this, with identifying information removed. I'll just refer to her as Lizzie, who occasionally comments here and who is, by far, one of the sweetest women I've ever known. She's also pregnant with an amazing little boy, and she had something to say about last night's election: I totally hear you, Lizzie. And I absolutely did, too. For yours, mine, and everyone … [Read more...]
I am so, so proud of my country, my home state of Florida, and my current homestead of Maryland, among other states, for last night. I knew we could do it, and while it was a nail-biter to the very end, my faith in our citizens has been restored. Last night, we stood up for equality. We stood up for justice. We stood up for the rich AND for the poor, for men AND for women, for straight people … [Read more...]
Matt left yesterday for a business trip, and like always, I had trouble sleeping last night as a result. As I lay in bed trying to drift off, I started really thinking about this whole process of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. And truth be told, it scared the living bejeezus out of me. It's not that I'm not excited to be a mother. It's not even that our lives would change so … [Read more...]
I have something to share. :) Lookit what Matt and I have been working on! Kind of explains my recent absence, huh? ;) We have been trying since just before the beginning of this year to expand our family, and we finally got our positive on 13 August! We hadn't told anyone but family (and awesome attorney-boss because, shoot, if I was ever sick at work...!), and we told them … [Read more...]
So sorry I didn't get the Perk-Up yesterday, I had to take off work on Monday because of a wicked headache and was behind a day for everything as a result. I even missed my Wednesday walk with Sam! :( In case you still need to boil something, how about your blood? Or if you need to percolate something, how about your blood pressure? Or any other ridiculous comparisons I could come up with. I'm … [Read more...]
It's no surprise to pretty much anyone that I am constantly reevaluating my faith and my belief system, always seeking to improve and learn as much as humanly possible, adapting to fit whatever sings to my heart. I came to the point where I am now after extensive research and soul-seeking, eventually settling in my path as a panentheistic Pagan and witch. I came to this point as a result of … [Read more...]
In case y’all haven’t noticed, I’m a thin Pagan. Not, like, stick skinny, but definitely on the “thin” side. My apparent lack of cleavage is a testament to this fact. :P I’ve never really been a “fat” Pagan, or a “fat” anything, for that matter. There was a point where I was technically overweight for my frame and body type, but (1) that’s not what I’d really call … [Read more...]
It was the wee hours of the morning when I received the text. I didn't process a lot of what was going on, just that it was storming out and that the blinding light from my iPhone rivaled the intermittent lightning outside. I rubbed my eyes, bleary from sleep, and rolled away from the light to wrap my arm around Matt. I don't remember much from that night, but when I finally saw the picture … [Read more...]
