Chronicling the life of Luci… and other stuff on the side….

To My Baby’s Daddy-

Thank you for giving me 60 shots in my thighs. Thank you for holding my hair and wiping my face when I was puking in the parking lot after the 1st IVF procedure. Thank you for holding my hand through many painful procedures and wiping my tears after many painful disappointments.  I realize I'm stronger than I look and I probably near-bout →


Simmer down, Shannie!

I've been getting a bit of flack for my sappy emo-girl blog posts.  So, I'm emotional.  I can admit it.  But, I'd like to think of myself as well-rounded with equal parts emo-girl and yes, bitchy-mcbitch.  I hope the aforementioned posts don't give readers out there the wrong idea.  I can still bitch with the best of 'em.  So, to prove →


The ultimate list

I love lists. This is for all you lady-mammas-to-be out there.  I know a few peeps who are knocked-up so I thought I'd send out an unsolicited list concerning all things essential as I see them, for the 1st 9 months.  I've divided it into pre-baby checklist, newborn, and things you can wait on.  I also included a list of things I did →


Birth of the five-four….

Perhaps one of the most easily-recognized jazz tunes, Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" just turned 50.   This is an amazing song.  And, "Time Out" is an amazing album.  Ok, so I'm not musically-inclined and unless someone points it out to me, I wouldn't be able to determine four-four from  five-four from whatever.  But, I can appreciate a damn good song that →


Well, hellz bellz

Well, crap.  I love ya, my lil Luci Goosie.  But, Good Lord..... the things you did to my body when you were in there!  My goodness, they weren't lying when they said having a baby changes your body forever.  Couple that with the fact that I'm quickly approaching the big 4-0.... and holy moly, not a pretty sight! To all my HS →


Don’t ever walk the bridges….

I have this thing I do when I'm on a run-- I always, always walk the bridges.  No matter where in the run they "hit"- whether it's time for a break or not;  no matter what/no matter when- I always walk the bridges, always have.  Friends I've run with even tend to make fun of me for this nonsensical running →


Man, I really really want this

This is the most kick-ass poster I've ever seen.  Of my favorite movie on the planet: Blade Runner Fabulous It's "loooong sold out" (blah blah blah).  :-( If anyone can find me one of these, I will be your slave.  For life.


This made me cry
