We Have Purchased Summer Shoes!
Buying sandals for Egg is an endeavor. If I was Adam a spreadsheet would be involved. We have the following issues to consider during a purchase: Purchasing little girl shoes is fairly new to me. I cannot purchase shoes that look like they have been coated in Disney Princess, thrown up on by a Fairy, [...]
I Swear It Gets Better After I Get My Bitch Out
I live in a conservative area. Many people automatically assume southern California equals Hollywood equals loose morals. Recently someone asked me why my sister-in-law didn’t get married in California. Why would she do a wedding but not legal marriage in Texas if she could just go home to California and be legally married to her [...]
Christmas Cards
I didn’t want to write this post tonight, but I think I’m going to be grumpy until I get it out of my head. I want to have Christmas portraits done with the littles and I know Egg would lose his mind if he got to wear a pretty dress for it. I could probably [...]
My Perspective on Girl Things
When I was a small child I modeled a bit. My family could not afford two wardrobes, so my mother purchased clothes appropriate for interviews. I wore dresses, long skirts, frilly shirts, and shoes not practical for playing soccer at recess. Imagine what dressy girl clothes looked like from 1978-1985. It wasn’t pretty. I couldn’t [...]
Egg’s Perspective on Girl Things
When Egg was less than two years old he started noticing the girls’ section of clothing at Gymboree. He was drawn to the skirts, dresses, and frilly tops. In many Gymboree stores there is a bench for small children at the back of the store with a television mounted for electronic babysitting. Yo Gabba Gabba [...]

I am not quite sure what I think of the new Twitter. I still need to create a header for my account, as well as finish my blog’s header. I naively thought it would be a fun thing to do while visiting my mother-in-law. I always bring at least one book and my laptop to [...]
Of Dresses And Strangers
I wrote a while back about Egg and his love of mary janes, dresses, and pink things in general. I was annoyed that he could run around in all boy clothes but people would determine if he was a boy or girl simply based on his shoes. I also have been annoyed when a few [...]
Egg’s First Pair of Mary Janes
A few months ago I took the kids to Payless Shoes to pick up an order for Chicken. Chicken had found a pair of boots that were not available in his size at the store, but you could have them shipped to the store for free. At 15 years old, Chicken is starting to learn [...]
Pretty Boy
The last few years for me have been about learning to not put people in boxes. I was getting pretty cocky, with all the learning and not judging. Then I found out that Chicken shaved his legs and armpits for Drag Night. I thought, “Huh. Going a little farther than is strictly necessary in this [...]
