A Question of Barack’s Blackness
Originally published at Welcome To The Dollhouse. You can comment here or there. A Question of Barack’s Blackness OK, I’ll say it. Dumbass Debra Dickerson, author of The End of Blackness, and proponent of the idea that Barack Obama is not black, gets spanked by Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report. I get so tired [...]
My Past/My Present
Thank you, everyone for your good wishes on our match. I went into the weekend on an emotional high, feeling excited for the first time in a long time. Things might just go according to plan, for once. I kept holding on to that thought. AdoringHusband and I got busy. We took time to clean [...]
We Got the Call Today
Wonderful news, everyone. We got the call today while I was in the San Francisco airport that we had been selected by an expectant mother! I was stunned. We had only been in the books for a total of 12 days! I don’t want to put too many details here but the expectant mother sounds [...]
TSA: Making The Skies Safe From Breastpumps
As I am captive on this plane for the next few hours, suffering those nosy people around me who insist on looking at my screen, I thought it would be a good use of my time for me to finally tell you about this week of travel. All I can say is, “I’m tired.” The [...]

Couldn’t Resist
No, this isn’t the travel story yet. It is a travel story, though. When I removed my knitting bag from my suitcase, I discovered that I had broken one of my favorite Lantern Moon knitting needles. I was pissed. They were my size 8 ebony needles that were actually black (normally the Ebony needles come [...]
Subscription Drive
I really like blogging, whether it is about FutureBaby, my crazy travel, feminist politics, knitting, cooking or any of the myriad topics I write about. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my ups and my downs over the past two years. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for that long! So here’s the thing. I [...]
Wearing My Mommy Hat
On the afternoon before I ventured to BabiesRUs with my friend K, she sent me an e-mail advising me to “put on my Mommy Hat” before we entered the store. Truth be told, I didn’t realize that I even had a Mommy Hat. Becoming a mom always felt like one of those pipe dreams that [...]
Goody! More Baby Stuff
Yesterday I did a little more shopping for FutureBaby. I went back to the dreaded, can’t refund my money, Baby Universe and created a registry there. The nice thing about them is that they have a lot of the higher end things I like. (I am still reeling over the fact that the lovely people [...]
