Just Got Out of the Bath
2008-01-09 14:43:00 Just a few minutes ago, I took a bath in Cara’s bathroom. She was watching Little Einstiens and her bathroom is closer to the living room. I started up the water and I instantly had a small, loud shadow. Before I could even get in the bathtub, Cara had flipped herself into the water…pjs and all. I ... More About: Bath
Last Night was Tough
2008-01-08 19:32:00 So I’ve written before about how much I love my upstairs neighbors. I’ve talked all big and bad about how I was going to call the sheriff the next time they were loud. Last night I finally did it. A couple of weeks ago, the neighbors got Rock Band. We know this because we saw them getting ... More About: Night , Tough , Cara
Do You Know What I?m Talking About?
2008-01-08 11:55:00 I have a job for you, my internet friends. Several months ago, I was thumbing through a parenting magazine and saw a picture or a cool ass undershirt. It rode low on the hips and covered a very pregnant belly. It was in a really funky pink polka dot fabric and I thought it ... More About: Talking
Aren?t We Smarter than this?
2008-01-07 20:42:00 Why is it that almost every woman that the media interviews concerning the elections always says, “I’m voting for Hillary because she’s a woman and I’m a woman and we need a woman president.” WTF? I really don’t understand this line of thinking. Does that mean that if you’re black, you should automatically vote for Obama just because ...
This Cafe is Closing
2008-01-07 17:30:00 One thing that sucks about me being pregnant right now is the fact that Cara’s not weaned. She had cut herself down to one real feeding when she woke up and one real feeding right before bed and then she would nurse when she woke up in the middle of the night. In addition to ...

The First Pregnancy Post
2008-01-07 15:48:00 Yesterday was not a fun day. Midday sickness [cause I don’t get morning sickness] started around 11 am and lasted for the majority of the day. Luckily, no puking is ever involved so I can completely cope. When Tucker got home from work, we headed to Old Navy to check out the sale that they are having right ... More About: Pregnancy , Post
The Update
2008-01-06 03:16:00 I feel the need to defend myself about this post. I didn’t write it as any sort of New Year’s resolution. I know from personal experience that New Year’s resolutions don’t work. In fact, 63% fail with in two month. Mine always have failed and since all of my “acceptable” excuses for over-eating were past ... More About: Update
Update Coming Tomorrow
2008-01-04 23:23:00 I promise that I will write an honest-to-God post tomorrow. The couch just had my name written all over it today and I did some major napping. Now it’s getting time for dinner and Cara’s bath. It’s amazing how quickly time flies when you’re asleep. ©2008 Taste Like Crazy. All Rights Reserved.. More About: Update , Tomorrow , Morrow , Tomo
Hoping it Sticks
2008-01-03 19:01:00 I’m really sorry about the infrequency of posts around New Years. Tucker was off from work a lot and for some reason I find it difficult to work when he’s home. Also, for the past couple of days I’ve been really nauseous and doing anything other than laying on the couch didn’t figure into my ... More About: Tick , Sticks

Thieving Elves
2007-12-29 16:30:00 Did I tell you about the criminal elves we have in Florida? Yeah, it’s a huge news story down here. On Christmas Day, a group of the sneaky bastards managed to get past Tucker, Cara, the dogs, the cat and me and stole our baby monitor receiver. That’s right, folks. Stole it. It’s either that scenario or Cara ...
I Hope that Tonight is Better
2007-12-28 21:46:00 Last night was a tough night. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve bathed Cara and after a bit of playtime, have told her that it’s bedtime and to find Ugly Dog and to head on into her room. She fusses and bitches, but follows me into her room, nonetheless. I nurse her and lay her on ... More About: Hope , Tonight
New Perspective
2007-12-28 01:34:00 We had to go get groceries today. We were to that point where you start being “creative” when making dinner and Rice-A-Roni becomes the main course. [Don’t judge! You know you’ve been there.] As we meandered around Target , Cara was being a rock star and she was completely engrossed by a box of Pop Tarts. I ... More About: Perspective

The Many Mishaps of Yesterday
2007-12-26 14:47:00 I’ve bitched written about all of our family being 16 hours away and how Christmas just didn’t feel right. But, despite my Grinchesqe feelings, I still planned a kick ass dinner and wrapped Cara’s presents. Yesterday started just like any other day. Cara got up early, we all snuggled in bed for a few ...

Early Merry Christmas to Us
2007-12-23 19:31:00 I just got some really good news from my mom. As I’ve written many times in the past, we’re trying to find a house to buy when we move back to Arkansas. I have the pre-approval financing paperwork sitting on my desk right now. I know I need to fill it out, but right now I ... More About: Christmas , Early , Merry Christmas , Merry
40 Dollar Goose
2007-12-22 00:36:00 What’s wrong with me today, guys? I have been nothing but an evil bitch all day. I’m sure part of it is due to the horrible traffic and the fact that the weather won’t decide what it’s doing; one day it’s 80 and the next it’s in the 40s. Is it too much to ask for ...

Random Because I Need More Coffee
2007-12-21 15:17:00 I’ve made a new discovery. As with all of my “discoveries” I’m a bit late to the party. Oh well. It’s new to me. My discovery is Google Trends. Have you heard of this? Click on that link [it won’t close this window] and look at some of the things that people are searching. The things that are ... More About: Coffee , Random
Catching Up
2007-12-20 15:37:00 Mom left about three hours ago. She’s been here since Saturday or Sunday and we’ve had a pretty good visit. Yesterday, Cara, Mom and I all went down to St. Augustine and walked ourselves stupid; my feet still hurt. I just felt like bitching a bit. *** From now on you won’t be reading about my feelings on ...
Personalized Kids Books
2007-12-17 15:22:00 Cara has finally reached that point where she’s excited about books. She routinely shoves a book into my lap and demands that I read to her. Granted, Cara only lasts for about three pages before she moves onto other pursuits, but, three pages is a start. Though we have tons of my books from ... More About: Kids , Books
Looking for Balance
2007-12-15 14:01:00 Reading The Middle Place has gotten me to think about “the middle place”. That place where everyone knows you are an adult; you know you are an adult but you try to forget that fact. You have a husband and child and your own new family yet you still need your parents’ approval. I wonder if you ever ... More About: Balance
Damn Sad Dog Video
2007-12-15 05:55:00 I found this on Dooce’s site and now I wish that I hadn’t watched it. Damn sad Japanese dog movie. Well, now you’re not going to watch it. Watch the video. It’s good. I promise. Just kind of disregard some of the English subtitles. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of ... More About: Video
It?s Cleaning Time
2007-12-14 18:37:00 It’s cleaning time, kiddos. Kind of like “business time“, but not…that would really be a completely different type of post. Mom’s supposed to be here tomorrow or Sunday. [I can’t really remember] I know that she’s leaving for here early Saturday morning. I also know that the state of the apartment ain’t gonna ... More About: Cleaning , Time
Sick
2007-12-13 15:04:00 Man, oh man I feel like shit today. I woke up wanting to puke and have done so several times. I don’t have a fever, but I seem to lack to ability to keep myself from thinking about food. [Damn, I did it again while I was typing that! And now that I’m typing this! I ... More About: Sick
That Baby DVD and CD
2007-12-13 14:16:00 I grew up on a musical diet of The Beatles, Steeley Dan and Fleetwood Mac. Heck, my first concert was James Taylor when I was four. Tucker is as crazy about music as I am and we want to pass that love onto Cara. While I know that some parents swear by Baby Einstein ... More About: D and C
