I JUST REALIZED THAT MY PHRENOLOGY HEAD IS NOT IN...
IT MUST BE IN THE GARAGE IN A BOX. I WILL FIND IT. I LOVE THAT THING. SORRY, THIS IS A BIG REVELATION.

Cleaning the house for hours, dusting, vacuuming, steam mopping, and scrubbing baseboards, walking the dog five times, cleaning the kitchen— NO sitting down today. Riley, I will motivate you to come out and check out the commotion! We have a future to start!

39 weeks!! Only 7 days until the big 'due date'!!
This day has taken it’s time coming around. The last trimester has truly tested my patience. I am waiting for my life to start! Every day brings Riley a little bit closer to meeting the world. I am ready, I am so ready— at least, as ready as I will ever be/feel.
Yesterday I had my weekly ob appointment. No stretch marks at all! It’s a miracle! My doctor commented on how...
Yes, I am jamming out to the Rockabye Baby albums...
It's time to step out of the love/hate dualism...

Seems like it may be a combination of both. Distract the weak minded, but those who try and fight back will be censored and detained.

I didn’t know someone could feel so lonely. The last few days, I have been wracked with anxiety. I wish I knew what the future holds because the journey is terrifying. Sometimes I doubt if I am strong enough. The pressure of feeling responsible to and for someone else is both motivating and scary. I feel so unprepared— I just wish someone would tell me I can do it… then tell...

FOURTEEN DAYS until the big due date!
… not that it means much because she could come any day now! I hope she decides to make an early arrival next week. I will be a little disappointed if we go over the due date but, I will be delighted to hold this sweet gift, whenever she is ready to make her appearance. Yesterday I had an appointment and Riley has dropped all the way into my pelvis which is great. The midwife said she is...

Government: Stop asking so many questions.

Do any of my lovely followers have a dog & a child? I would love some advice about introducing Salinger to Riley when she is born. I will accept long narrative stories, whether they are your personal stories or other stories from child/pet owners, I also will accept stories in general, as long as they are good, also poetry, art, mixed media, musical renditions of ancient literature,...
“If you think there’s such a thing as humane slaughter, I’m curious; do you also...”
– Gary Yourofsky (via veegannn)
Realized that Riley will come out and probably know every word to the good, old Weezer albums — and thank God, not even recognize their new stuff. Also, her cries might sounds strangely like the melody of 99 Red Balloons.

I think all of my friends would agree I’m not a political person and I have a strong distaste for government in general. I’m still trying to hide the fact from my parents that there’s an anarchy & equality tattoo somewhere on my body. That’ll be an interesting conversation one day. My dad is an ultra conservative and says some pretty insane things about politics (and...

I remember, wearing your name as a bracelet, feeling you encircling me we loved to pretend that tomorrow would never come. Tomorrow became today and yesterday feels far away.
This afternoon my parents, Salinger, and I went on a walk through Biscayne National Park and enjoyed the perfect weather we’ve been having. We had a little picnic and Sal was loving all the new smells and other doggies.
Through the day, Riley didn’t move much at all. Around 3pm was the only time I felt her moving in there. It was about 6pm and I had just eaten and she still...

I truly didn’t realize that people still used the phrase “being gay” to describe things giving them difficulty. Example: “Youtube was being gay and wouldn’t let me upload the video of me puckering my lips, blowing kisses, and flirtatiously batting my eyelashes.” …. why is this still happening?

Ya’ll don’t even wanna know how tasty the portobello mushroom burgers I made tonight were. You would be too jealous. They tasted better than any burger I have ever had. We enjoyed them with some oven roasted red potatoes and it was divine. I think Riley must have enjoyed it, too because she is really moving in there tonight.
I washed my sheets, dusted, and vacuumed my room today....

Dad: I don't like that Shepherd Smith.
Me: Why?
Dad: I think he's on drugs. He keeps losing weight.
Me: He's losing weight... so he must be on drugs?
Dad: He's too thin. He won't be around in 6 months, I promise.

While driving
Dad: GEEZE, you pulled right out in front of me, lady.
Mom: How do you know it was a lady?
Dad: I know.
Mom: ...
Dad: It's always a woman.
Mom: ...
Dad: A woman. Always. No man would do that.

On sneezing...
Dad: Cindy, you need to stop sneezing into your hands. It's a health hazard.
Mom: ...
Dad: I don't know why you do that! No one does that... When is the last time you saw someone sneeze into their hands?
Mom: I haven't seen people sneeze into their elbows, either.
Dad: EVERYONE sneezes into their elbows-- all the doctors and nurses and business professionals sneeze into their elbows, Cindy. You aren't listening to me. It's dangerous to sneeze into your hands and you work at a school, around children. You really need to stop that.
Mom: ...
Dad: Your job doesn't have posters about sneezing into your elbow? EVERY work place has a poster about it. Your school should really have one...
