So that short guy that I write about from time to time? The fruit of my womb? This one? He’s NINE today. NINE YEARS OLD. And he’s all: By the way, we didn’t spray-paint his friends’ faces in real life. Just protecting their privacy and whatnot. Like last year, we had a roller skating party. It turned out [...] The baby and I did two unusual things two weekends ago: got up early on a Saturday and went to Ross Park Mall. Ross Park Mall is on the other side of town for us and we all know how I feel about sleeping, so you can imagine that whatever pulled me out there must [...] “Alright, buddy, go upstairs and get dressed. We need to get going.” Ten minutes pass while I make sure that lunch and piano books are packed. I head upstairs and foolishly expect to see the baby in some advanced stage of dressing, at the very least wearing pants. Instead, he is crouched on the floor in his [...] I really need to get my driver’s license. I’ve taken the test four times and failed each time. I can’t seem to get my mind past the fact that I hate driving, I hate obnoxious drivers, and I hate how strict they are about the test and fail me for imperfect parking but seem to just [...] About four and a half years after Frank stood a few feet behind me, supporting me as I married the husband, I stood a few feet behind him as he married his wife. It was super cool and I felt incredibly lucky to be able to say to people who asked me that day, “Frank [...] “Mum. Mum, I have a nosebleed.” The baby’s wiry shadow stood by my bed, his hands clutching his nose. “Are you okay?” I muttered, poking myself in the eye with my glasses as I pulled myself out of bed. “Yeah.” We stumbled to the bathroom and I assessed his nose. It wasn’t bleeding very badly. A few quick applications [...] At my graduation party about a month back, one of my professors stopped by with her husband. He and I were talking about Pittsburgh, and he asked me where I lived, specifically if I lived in a neighborhood. I was happy to tell him that I do and even happier to tell him that my neighborhood [...] The Penguins lost last night, ending the season on a bit of a whimper and sending Montreal on further toward their 8 billionth Stanley Cup. We opted not to watch the game until the bitter end when the score flipped over to 5-2 in the middle of the third period. It was getting late and [...] That’s me at my desk. I’ve been in this position most of the day because I have this really annoying stomachache. So what’s been going on with me? Eh, a lot and not much, know what I mean? I’ve been really busy at work, aside from being doubled over and groaning. The baby had his first [...] Mornin’ everyone. I’m trying to pretend that yesterday never happened for Pittsburgh sports. The Brewers beat the Pirates, 20-0, which makes it the worst defeat in Pirates’ history, and if you know the Pirates, you know that that’s really saying something. The husband and the sister-in-law actually went to the game and they were all [...]  |
