Better late than never #coffeebreak
Call Me Christine
twenty-something, ohio, etc.
Wanted: coffee delivery service serving Columbus and surrounding suburbs.
I’ve got a baby that won’t let me put her down for even a second, and all I want is a 10 minute break to fold the laundry and make & drink a huge cup of coffee.
YOUR POST-BABY BODY IS AWESOME

Relevant today — I’m one month postpartum and feeling the itch to shed the lingering pounds and get my old body back ASAP. Time to cut myself a break!
Rose and dinner on a patio? Yes please. #saturday
Maybe it’s because I still want to see Gatsby, or because Kanye’s on SNL tonight, or because I’m going to MoMA’s Party in the Garden this week and reminiscing about the time I saw Kanye + Jay-Z perform there, but I cannot stop listening to this.
I’ve been randomly singing the refrain of this song for days. Excuse me while I play this on repeat for a while.

So I’m out and about doing solo girl things (hair appointment! rejoice!) and I get a call from my husband that within 10 minutes of me leaving he has had his first baby blowout experience. Her clothes, his arm, our comforter…he was in complete disbelief of the effects one big baby poop could have. Good one, baby girl.
This is totally making me enjoy my couple hours out even more.
Good Morning! #lifewithmarjorie
No one would blame Kim Kardashian for staying home, putting her feet up, and wearing leggings as pants for the next two months. At this point, we’d all prefer the break. But, no, she has made commitments to appearances and apparently to wearing dresses that aren’t her size anymore, and she will keep them.
Everyone knows I’ll wear uncomfortable shoes and dresses as fashion requires such sacrifices, but even I wouldn’t do this to myself. She looks miserable.
I’m going to regret what I’m about to say, but here it is —
Kim should take a page from Jessica Simpson’s book and just go nuts.
In Kim’s defense, the swelling of the feet & ankles while pregnant can really creep up on you over the course of a day. And wearing flats does NOT help.
You’ll see no shade from me when it comes to pregnant ladies and their style - dressing the bump (and cankles when you get to that point) is tough and everyone is entitled to their own approach. I’m totally over the hate everyone is throwing at Kim K for her prenatal fashion choices.
So I downloaded the NPR News app so I could keep in touch with the happenings in the outside world during my daily walks. This is good in general, but I was especially happy when I realized that I could listen to a live stream of ANY local station. It is not an understatement to say that I have really missed the Dayton, OH station I tuned into before moving to Columbus—the stations here are just not the same. (Total nerd alert, right?). Anyway, 91.3 WYSO, it feels so good to be reunited with you!
*you should totally download this (free) app if you’re an NPR fan too. I don’t know what took me so long!
Perks of mat leave: finally catching up on shows I’ve been meaning to watch for ages that my significant other can’t stand. First up: season 2 of Smash. Total guilty pleasure, but loving it.
Other hits and misses of my first day of solo parenting:
- took a nice, not too rushed, shower (hit!)
- couldn’t find time or effort to make a real lunch so I ate a fun combo of spinach salad and too many pizza rolls (miss?)
- made my morning coffee…at 4pm (miss.)
