My Unpopular Political Views
Confession: I hate politics. Sort of…
Okay, in itself that isn’t a worthwhile confession, but my political views are.
It came to my attention the other day that I quite possibly am a closet anarchist.
Why I hate politics:
I love people. Period.
My personal goal in life is striving to understand why people believe what they do. In situations when I do this correctly, if there was any judgement to begin with, it will be gone when I reach … Keep Reading!!!

1. Tell us about your personal breastfeeding experience with your child:
When my first son was born, I knew I wanted to breastfeed – I just underestimated how much of a challenge it would be in the beginning. I probably didn’t sleep for the first five days of his life – a combination of him waking up, and me being freaked out because I couldn’t get it to “work” right. As soon as I could, I … Keep Reading!!!

Confession Friday
I don’t like dogs.
Heart of stone, you ask? Possibly.
I’m a cat person.
Here are a few of problems I have with the little mongrels:
- When you pet a dog your hand smells . (FYI that does not happen with cats)
- They follow you around begging for food (the nerve!).
- When you pet them your hand smells.
- They just look stupid (look in those eyes and honestly tell me you don’t think, “the lights are on, but nobody’s home”).
Happy Birthday Daddy!
My dad turned 63 this week!
I’ve received so many lovely responses from his Valentine’s Day letter to me.

Here are some of the reasons I think this:
The Protector
- When I was little my dad used to carry me all over the neighborhood. I took naps snuggled up with my head resting on his shoulder. He would go socialize with the neighbors

Everyone meet Wendy!
1. Tell us about your personal breastfeeding experience with your child:
My breastfeeding story began long before my daughter was born or even conceived. When I was twenty-one, I discovered a lump in my left breast. At twenty-two, I underwent a core needle biopsy which revealed that I had a benign condition called Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia. I was told that this is just an overgrowth of normal tissue and is not pre-cancerous, but is rather rare in … Keep Reading!!!

We entered through a back alley. And walked down a few flights of stairs to enter.

Angelina Jolie’s Lips, Elizabeth Taylor’s Eyes, and My Cervix
Even the most modest human being is aware of their more attractive physical features.
Well, most people.
This question has come up multiple times in my life and I haven’t been able to give an answer.
I remember watching Love In The Afternoon when I was very young, and I related to Audrey Hepburn’s character:
“I’m too thin, and my ears stick out, and my teeth are crooked and my neck is much too long.” – Audrey Hepburn
