It’s 12:45 a.m., Friday December 7, 2007. A mere 45 minutes past my due date. Scant hours after I decided to take a chill pill and B…R…E…A…T…H…E…. And POP! Hello bag of waters!
So we’re off to the hospital….
Due date has come and is about to go. No one thought I would make it to my due date, much less past it. My mom’s been here for over a week. Other eager grandparents and friends are calling, IMing, texting every day to “check on my status”. Um, status is: when there’s something to […]
The past six weeks have been an absolute marathon of baby-arrival preparation. It started with the overwhelming task of turning our home office / library / quinn’s art studio / catch-all room into a nursery. This included two garage sales, several postings on craigslist, a LOT of rearranging of the rest of the house and […]
We leave tonight for our Southern California end-of-summer vacation. Quinn’s school starts late this year so we’re taking advantage of all the other kids being back in school and hitting Disneyland next week. (Going to Disneyland in the heat of summer with the HORDES of other people pretty much results in a deep hatred for […]
So I’ve been feeling Baby2007 moving for about a month now. At first it was super subtle butterfly flutters that were difficult to distinguish from gas bubbles. Then it was fish flopping which has slowly progressed in frequency and intensity, with the occasional bump and jab. Overall, though, the little resident has been pretty mellow. […]
It’s a girl!

Raising a Kid
I'm Quinn's mom. He's basically The Cutest Kid in the Known Universe. Ok, I know, your kid's cute too, but this one's mine. He was born in March of 2002 and came home from the hospital to a shower of Cherry Blossoms.
Founding Companies
In January 2007 Thor & I joined forces with Lane Becker of Adpative Path to found Satisfaction Unlimited. You can get a sneak peak by going here and clicking on any company or organization that suits your fancy. And you can get more insight by checking out our Satisfaction Blog. Previous to Satisfaction I was a founding partner of Rubyred Labs, a design driven Internet product development firm where we made cool stuff and enjoyed breakfast, particularly when it involved cereal, coffee and grapefruit. Jonathan Grubb is still running Rubyred.
Keeping the Peace
All this has left me craving a nap, but I still somehow manage to find time to travel with my brilliant and adorable husband (and sometimes my friends), experiment in the kitchen, and hit the town with my gorgeous, smart, single gal pals who are in search of kind, eligible men (I know you're out there...)
