Tam, from the Living Room: "Um, Shan? What the hell is the TiVo recording? What in tarnation is "Dungeons & Dragons: The Wrath of the Dragon God?" The Varmint, from the Bedroom: "Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!... Read more >

Yeah, he doesn't wake up 'til 9 - 9:30. But can you really blame him?... Read more >

The usual day of gluttony, guilt and remote control wrestling ended up a bust. Nope. Instead, it was pretty much a joyful, Norman Rockwellian affair, just a little bit angstier and neurotic and with a lot more volume. Two... Read more >

Captured. On. Film. The Varmint. Voluntarily awake at 7:13am, this very morning. Bring your galoshes to work, people. Buy some extra canned food. Think nothing of fireballs whizzing through the sky, frogs croaking Mozart or flowers blooming in the shape... Read more >

Monday, The Varmint and I went to the fertility doctor. The funny thing is that we're still on the fence about Varmintlings. (To be honest, The Varmint's leaning a little further over the fence, Humpty Dumpty-style, than I. But he's... Read more >

(Note: As the title indicates, this is the second of a two-part story. To read things in order, scroll to the entry directly below this. We wouldn't want you to be confused...) Propelled by the paw at my back, I... Read more >

The Varmint is obsessed with monkeys. It reminds me of the sort of focused, intense love that Koko, the famed sign-language literate gorilla, had for her pet kitten. If, for example, you were to see The Varmint staring off into... Read more >

The Varmint, his brother The Bunny, and a few friends - including one of my closest friends Dex - signed up to form a Fantasy Football league this season. What's fantasy football? Why, a manly excuse for a techie kaffeeklatsch,... Read more >

This is Monte, possibly the World's Coolest Father-in-Law. He'll probably want to kill me for posting this, but I love this shot as it clearly illustrates his True Inner Monte-ness. Usually, Varmint Sr.'s a cool, cool customer - deceptively quiet,... Read more >

Last night, as I was swaddled in blankets and innocently watching The Simpsons, this came running out from the bathroom, squealing and laughing to tackle me on the sofa: Needless to say, I screamed. I think the exact words were... Read more >

Our household is a pretty smooth one. We love hanging out together, rarely argue, never scream, and laugh a lot. The one sore point usually has to do with food. Specifically, quality leftovers or hidden treats. Sweets are a spectacularly... Read more >

There's a Rockette in my pants, and she's trying to get out. Or a mini Mia Hamm. Having your ass kicked by a six-month-old fetus is enough to give you shivers about the teen years. What sort of spawn am... Read more >

So this morning, I wake up, pull on my fuzzy bathrobe and flop to the Secondary Horizontal Surface - also known as The Couch. It's a few hours before The Varmint shuffles out of the Primary Horizontal Surface (yes, that... Read more >

Last night, after a balmy dinner at Deb's discussing the baby shower, I arrived at Chez Burrow chock-full of warm fuzzies (and some tasty homemade Italian food) thinking innocent thoughts of duckies and booties and what color to paint the... Read more >

Tomorrow evening the Varmint will scuttle from his burrow, nose pointed southeast, surfboards firmly under forepaw. He and his salty crew of bewhiskered scalywags are heading to the tropical climes of Nicaragua for a week of wavehunting and manly bonding.... Read more >

The Big Kaboom As you might imagine, sleeping when you're this pregnant is not easy. I'm not as bad off as Deb of the Microscopic Bladder who, nine months into her gestation, was up approximately 15 to 20 times per... Read more >

Just look at what I get to look at everyday: The choicest bit of babyflesh one could ever ask for. Imminently smoochable. Sweet, soft and snuggly. Holy crap, I am loving life. Television seems to have lost its appeal since... Read more >

Due to the overwhelming response from part one of Goin' Retro, I am continuing the series for a few entries. Today is a tribute to The Varmint Through the Ages. Yesterday, I spent every nanosecond of free time reshaping The... Read more >
