We were finally able to sample Pappas Bar-B-Q’s burgers today after an aborted attempt earlier this week. It seems that not only do certain locations not serve burgers, which we found out about two weeks ago when we tried to go to the location on S. Main near Reliant Stadium, but even those that do [...]

Unlike last summer when there were a whole bunch of replacement shows to watch, this summer, there’s not much on. Unfortunately, we don’t get Showtime, so we’re not catching The Tudors or Weeds or shows like that that do seem pretty good. Instead we’re limited to My Boys and CBS’ new show Swingtown.

Huh, more proof that the Chronicle’s website is just weird: They have the burger slideshow back up now. It wasn’t there when I made my post a few days ago, and it wasn’t there at 8:00 this morning when I did my daily read of the Chronicle’s headlines. Maybe the fact that I’ve searched the [...]

This is the first out of the past three summers that I won’t be attending the AP English Language exam in Daytona, which will be taking place this week. Nathan’s imminent (I hope) arrival makes it impossible for me to go, and even if I were there, I wouldn’t be able to partake of the [...]

With somewhere between four and six weeks to go before Nathan arrives, I’m finding that I have at least one moment a day where I’m pulled up short and think to myself, “Oh, right … I’m pregnant.” It usually happens when I pass a mirror.
You’d think after nine months of this, I’d be used [...]
