The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Wow.  Yesterday was really a low point.  Thank you so much for all of your understanding and sympathy – it says such good things about all of you that no one felt it necessary to tell me to quit complaining and to be grateful for my miracle.
Speaking of miracles:
It would be nice if I could [...]

Storm

Try tropic for your balm,
Try storm,
And after storm, calm.
Try snow of heaven, heavy, soft and slow,
Brilliant and warm.
Nothing will help, and nothing do much harm.

About Last Night

An email I just got from Mr. E:
I’m just remembering now, but, last night… did we actually spend a not-insignificant amount of time designing a bra for female horses? And was it called the “Gal-Up”?  I mean, did we actually do that? Well, if so, I don’t know if there are two people more suited for [...]

Sick of It

I’m wondering if this gluten free thing can be compared to the five stages of grief, or if it’s just that it’s fall or if it’s that I’m pregnant or what.
Whatever the reason though, I am here to tell you that for the first time, I am well and truly sick of being gluten free.  [...]

Invite Sixteen Bloggers Into Your House and Look What Happens*

And please accept my apologies for those of you who guessed and who I blatantly LIED to, I am really bad at keeping secrets.
Due Date:  June 12th.  As in, ridiculously early for me to be telling the internet.

Thursday Is The New Friday

1.  My child is currently forming his uneaten mashed potatoes into hills and valleys. It makes me feel strangely like I’m trapped in 1955.  Who knew kids really actually did this stuff?
2.  We had a glorious two month grace period where we actually got to sleep through the night and now Pants has gone right [...]

Re Boot

So you know we started this new blog, Style Lush, and we’re using Type pad.  Which is all cool and good and groovytowns except that every time I’ve tried to use it in the past week, it’s been SO INSANELY SLOW.  I seriously was having these temper tantrums every two minutes because it was so [...]

Reader Help!

Hey, does anyone out there have any suggestions for cheapish places to stay close to the beach in Australia?  We are flying into Sydney and spending three days downtown, and we’d like to spend the rest of the time lying around in the sun next to the ocean, but we’re having trouble finding places that [...]

Introducing: Style Lush

Please keep in mind that we’re on our second episode of Sesame Street for the day and I haven’t had ANY coffee yet and my Shift key is acting squirrely and my child will not sleep through the night even though he is TWO AND A FREAKING HALF. In other news, I am TIRRRRRRRED.
However, I [...]
