The Birthday Dinner
So tomorrow is the Big Bean’s birthday and last night we went out for dinner with the BFF and her husband, Mr. Style — because the BFF’s birthday is just 10 days before the Big Bean’s and it’s both entertaining and economical to celebrate the two events together. Okay, the truth is we probably would’ve…
The Mall
We brought the Bean to the mall today, because it’s a million degrees outside and we’ve already been to all the indoor playscapes a million times and the Bean’s got a million jigawatts’ worth of energy coursing through his veins and the mall’s nice and cool and easy.

Zax and The New Car
A couple of months ago, we bought The New Car. Correction. The Big Bean bought The New Car. I’ve driven The New Car exactly one time (before it was even “ours,” when we were still in the “test drive” phase — as soon as it actually belonged to “us” those privileges were immediately revoked). I’ve…
T.G.I.F. — UPDATED
So I get to work late (again) this morning and I’m plodding up the stairs, just barely operating on the four hours of sleep I got last night and repeating to myself coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeeeeeee just trying to make it to my desk without passing out from the lack of sleep and lack of caffeine and, well,…
