heavy hearted

Last updated on: March 26, 2009 at 2:54 am By Grace Sandra

It’s with a heavy heart I blog tonight. To ease your fears, I have not lost the baby. I know us woman always tend to think the worst! No, it’s actually just that I’m extremely overwhelmed. I’m finding that whenever I’m trying to wear too many hats, I get really sad. It’s like the thought of being really busy scares me so much that I fall into inactivity which only feeds the depression and adds to this sick viscious cycle.... Read more

communicating with John Mayer

Last updated on: March 25, 2009 at 12:55 am By Grace Sandra

So, I wrote music god John Mayer an email today. Were like totally friends. Well, that is if you count the fact that I read his Twitters & his blog. Anyway, ever since he’s been tweeting like crazy -which are generally hillarious, witty & pleasing- he’s been slacking off on his blog & I want him back. So I wrote the following… John, Ever since you started twittering -which don’t get me wrong, I LOVE, youv’e stopped blogging. What gives? The blogging... Read more

I’m so Salty!

Last updated on: March 24, 2009 at 1:43 am By Grace Sandra

I realize I’ve been loathing on and on about my nauseau & out of control preggo emotions. I literally tell the baby everyday how happy I am that he or she is in there despite my bad attitude. And so, it seemed fitting to apologize to you as well. I’ll make it a effort to quit my yapping on & on. Now, on to salt. Love it on my fries. Love it better on my body. A few days ago... Read more

The Jane Austen Book Club – Movie Review

Last updated on: March 21, 2009 at 2:18 am By Grace Sandra

Okay, so this may be one of my new fave romantic comedies. It came out in 2007 ~ who knew? I’d never even heard of it before last night when my friend Marla suggested it. It’s about 6 people who organize a book club, reading one Jane Austen novel a month & as it turns out the characters reveal themselves in their comments. It’s light, it’s airy, it’s cute. At the end this what I wanted desperately: 1) to go... Read more

Pineapple Express – Movie Review

Last updated on: March 21, 2009 at 1:56 am By Grace Sandra

Pineapple Express is a hilarious movie! I took a chance on what just looked like another Seth Rogan film. I never actually took to his more famous films, “Knocked Up,” or “The 40 year old Virgin.” Anyway, I must say, I was alone, I was feeling sick & miserable & this movie made my day. There were at least 3 parts where I was dying laughing with happy tears. It was just pleasing and funny the whole way through. Recommend!... Read more

Your 6-word memoir

Last updated on: March 20, 2009 at 12:25 am By Grace Sandra

The other day I was inspired by John Mayer’s 6-word memoir: “this heart didn’t come with instructions.” (via twitter – yes, I follow his tweets:) My fave 6-word memoir ever is: “born black. married white. died human.” -author unknown other notable funny ones: -even public restrooms rejected my poems -my soulmate has whiskers and paws -sperm too potent, now have triplets -never really finished anything… except cake -well I thought it was funny – Stephen Colbert -catholic school backfired! Sin... Read more

thoughts on baby names?

Last updated on: March 18, 2009 at 1:01 am By Grace Sandra

So, I’m super anal & started thinking of baby names well before both my pregnancies. Ransom’s name was one of 3 options before I was even 4 weeks! It was decided at the ultrasound at 21 weeks. Nothing new for this baby, we’ve been kicking around ideas for 6 months or so. So, if it’s a girl, we really like Sydney Grace. We like the name because we loved the hit T.V. show Alias & the main character was Sydney... Read more

My Andy

Last updated on: March 17, 2009 at 3:12 am By Grace Sandra

A few years ago I had a thing with a guy named Andy. He’s now married to this wonderful gal. This was our “thing.” He came over or we met at the office & he would fix my computer. $10 an hr. all the time. And when I say fix my computer I mean there was nothing Andy could not do. For crying out loud Andy built his own usable computer with a screwdriver & random parts from a junk... Read more

Last updated on: March 15, 2009 at 1:53 am By Grace Sandra

Now you may think the title is one of the lines off the PussyCat Dolls song, “when I grow up,” but it’s not. It’s actually something Ransom said today! RB: Mama, you have big boobies. (I.E. We MUST teach him a new name) GB: Well, hun they are filling up with Milk for the new baby. RB: Milk? In your boobies? GB: Yep, when the new baby comes out he/she will drink milk just like you did when you were... Read more

Vicky Christina Barcelona – Movie Review

Last updated on: March 13, 2009 at 3:57 pm By Grace Sandra

Let me start by saying this a total chick flick. I actually watched this with a perfect stranger who happened to be sitting next to on the plane on my way out to San Diego last week. The dude’s name was Michael, he was 25 years old & about 1/3 of the way through the movie looked at me & said, “you know what, Grace, I think I’m just gonna kick back & listen to some tunes.” lol. Why is it... Read more
