Day 4 – D
Drink You Last Had – Diet Coke, though I am about to have something alcoholic. Should it be wine or whiskey?
Time Travel
Day 3 – C
Current time: It is 9:01 pm on Tuesday, March 28th. This means that either you are time traveling as you read this, or I’m time traveling as I write it.
Surprise!
Day 2 – B
Biggest surprise: it is a tossup. Either coming home, or finding out I was pregnant.
I think finding out I was pregnant was in a bigger surprise, because it hit me all at once. The coma thing to be able to fully understand.
what about you?

Fears Are So Much Cooler in Latin
Day 1 – A
For today, I took a suggestion from an Anxious Mother and rustled my prompt from Urban Dictionary. “Aibohphobia” A phobia of palindromes.
Le Belle Et La Bete
I just saw the newest Beauty and the Beast and it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. (Spoiler alert.)
To be fair, the original Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite of all the Disney movies. When I saw it (I was a sophomore in high school) I was studying French – we actually watched it in French in French class, if that makes sense – and that fall, I broke up with a boy that I didn’t really like, but I was still lonely and a little depressed, so I felt like Beast. When he roared, it was like a roar I would… roar. At one point when he said, “It’s hopeless.” That’s how I really felt. (Ah… high school.)
Theme Reveal for April #atozchallenge
This April, I am going to take part in the A to Z blogging challenge for the month of April in which I post every day going down the letter of the alphabet. Because I think it will be more fun if I have a theme for these posts, I have found one, though it doesn’t really have a name. Not like, “colors of a carnival” or “traveling with snails” or “tips for cuticle care.”
Isn’t She Quaint? Showing Love
Whenever I’m around my mom or my MIL, I often find myself feeling unsteady, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on how to explain it. Today, I realized that there’s a scene from the show Firefly that seems to show it well.
(What? You haven’t seen Firefly? Surely know that if you watch it, any ailment you’re feeling in your body is miraculously healed and a puppy is saved from being kicked. So go watch it. I’ll wait.)
Toddler Development is Parent Development
I think it’s starting. The thing I’ve heard about. The “She just woke up one day and was totally different” thing. (And by different, mothers mean their child has attitude, sass, opinions.)

Should I Try This At Home? Cold Remedies
It’s the sticky hold out days of winter here in the OH, and Wee One and I just went through our latest bout of exchanging illnesses. In the interest of science and wanting to make myself feel better, I thought I would experiment with a few untried strategies for addressing a cold.
Other People’s Toys
You know how, as a kid, when you go to your friends’ house, their toys are cooler than yours? Does that happen when you are an adult to?
That is, all the toys I see that Wee One does not have, I think are cooler, and I think I need to buy for her.
