the surprise is that a few weeks before my trip, i found out that i was pregnant. it was a bittersweet reality...all those drinks gone down the chute and indulgent plans suddenly transforming to diapers and binkies. it's been 16 years since i've had to care for my own and i'm excited at the newness of it all. of course it all comes back to...where will i raise my baby? now that i've been home and back recently, my perspective is in constant shift. daycare, commuting, work responsibilities all sound so cumbersome on raising an infant...but t0 let go of it all and be back at one is a task too far for me to fathom. it was great being home. i imagined that my baby understood we were in a different place and had some kind of awareness of those voices, the people, the feel, and the taste of home. i am lucky enough to be rid of my queasiness and have eased into 2nd trimester cruise control.

from my lush homeland to the city by the bay and into the far reaches of the suburbs, i've made my home twice. it was fun in my 20's and even better in my 30's. documenting it all makes me feel important (to myself). here you'll find my multi-tasking adventures with food and the fashionable, my love affair with my dvr, an occasional moment of profound thought, a lot of useless yet laughable ranting, and lately stuff about my life in constant re-arrangement. i'm only fab-ulous because it's in my name.
