Brandon and I started a blog together, and I'll probably be updating there rather than here for the time being.

I won't say I'll never be back, though! Lots of history here. :-)

Man, I haven't done this list in a while, I don't think! Wish I could do books too, but it's much harder to determine which books I read this year. With the movies, I just read a list of every movie released in 2012 so I could remember which ones I saw. I only saw 23 movies released this year, and most of them were from Redbox.

My last entry made Brandon laugh so hard he cried a little. Definitely going to do one again someday soon when Lucas and I have another interesting conversation or he does more awesome high kicks ( Read more... )

And a little sad -- I really loved ( Read more... )

Haha, sleep training can suck it. After some trauma, crying, and discussion with Brandon, we decided that anything that is making Lucas scream for over an hour before passing out from exhaustion (this is with me standing there comforting him the whole time), and making me scream into pillows or break down sobbing in frustration -- is not even a ( Read more... )

My job, for all intents and purposes, is to run the household and be the main caregiver for Lucas.

I like almost all of the part of my job that involves caring for Lucas -- except freaking teaching him how to sleep ( Read more... )
