We recently picked up one of the later Olivia books by Ian Falconer.  I’ve always thought Olivia was a pretty cute little character, but now knowing who Stella is and the kind of girl she is, I can certainly sympathize … Continue reading →

The Wean in the Willows

Posted on February 27, 2014 by larva225

I need to rant a while.  Sorry.  Just a warning. We’ve all heard the saying “so and so needs to get off my dick,” implying that someone is crowding the speaker in some capacity or another, whether that be tailgating … Continue reading →

Trial By Journey

Posted on February 25, 2014 by larva225

Once upon a time, my mom and I went on a mother-daughter trip to New Mexico.  I have a whole a lot of fond memories of that trip, including -I’m ashamed to say- me acting like a butt.  I remember … Continue reading →

Heart and Parcel

Posted on February 16, 2014 by larva225

Valentine’s day.  Ah.  I’ll be honest: it’s not my bag.  I was always more of a Halloween kid, you know?  I guess on some level when I was much, much younger, there was a sour grapes component.  I was not … Continue reading →

Tie Died

Posted on February 13, 2014 by larva225

After my C-section with Felix, I wrote that I also had my tubes tied. Will and I figured that since we had demonstrated our fertility on top of me about to turn 40 on top of our financial situation, that … Continue reading →

Uncle Mom’s Cabin

Posted on February 11, 2014 by larva225

I believe I’ve mentioned before that Stella seems to be exceptionally suggestible.  Her speech therapist and the neurologist seem to think this is her way of cementing language.  If she sees or hears something, she has to obtain it or … Continue reading →

(The) Return(ed) To Sender

Posted on February 10, 2014 by larva225

I’m going to do something I’ve never done before:  plug a TV show.  It’s called The Returned (or Les Revenants, since it is French after all) and is amazing.  You should go watch it.  Now. It’s a story that unfolds … Continue reading →

The Old and the Beautiful

Posted on February 10, 2014 by larva225

Once upon a time, I had a Myspace account.  I liked it fine.  I loved that I could put music on it, change backgrounds, be an antisocial social person.  That was really the birthplace of my blog.  I used to … Continue reading →

Photoshop ‘Til You Drop

Posted on February 4, 2014 by larva225

I can’t believe it’s already February.  Felix turns 1 in under 2 weeks.  Holy smokes.  Where has the time gone? I was pumping at work the other day, looking through recent pictures on my phone to alleviate the boredom of … Continue reading →

As I Lay Lying

Posted on February 3, 2014 by larva225

So Stella busted me fibbing this weekend.  It was one of those stupid things.  I was making chicken and cheese quesadillas for Sunday lunch.  I had actually bought some fancy tortillas: nice and soft with a lovely green color and … Continue reading →
