At Forty.

One thing I’ve said, like, forever is, “I don’t want to look all neat & tidy and clean & sober in my coffin.  I want to look like I’ve LIVED MY ASS OFF!” Well I change my mind. Holy F*ck, do I ever change my mind. Now that I’m seeing the results of 20 years [...]

After Effects.

I loved being pregnant.  Like, LOVED it. I loved the wonderment of having a living, breathing human being GROWING inside me.  I loved watching my belly expand and harden. I loved the fact that I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted.  I loved the glow.  I loved that it gave me an excuse to [...]

It’s all about me.

Now that Oscar is almost one year old, I’m ready to start doing things for myself again. *GASP* The first year of his life, well, it was all about him.   And rightly so.  I mean, of COURSE it’s all about him, but what I’m trying to get at is that various choices and decisions we [...]

Because it’s much nicer than hearing, “Stephanie, you’ve got Junk In The Trunk.” Ok, rewind. @CanadaMomDeals tweeted about a Gap sale.  I’m in desperate need of [...]

What’s that sparkle? Oh, it’s Stephi’s teeth.

At about week 25, when this picture was taken: it was brought to my attention that my teeth were discoloured. It happened just like that *snap*.  Seriously.  One day they were white (as white as they could be from a life of red wine, coffee and cigarettes!  But pretty white nonetheless.) and then the next [...]

Father’s Day

(imported from old site) Today was our first Father’s Day. I’ve got to write this stuff down… to record it… to remember it. To have something for O to look back on one day. To know that we were a family unit that loves each other tremendously, even if the day wasn’t monumental. It was [...]
