go team edward!

Tomorrow night Shelly and I are headed out to see a very low budget, not very popular movie you most likely haven’t heard a thing about. It’s a little show called New Moon.  I know, who has ever heard of the Twilight Saga, right?  Like the theory of Vampires would ever catch on.  You know, [...]

all this in just two days…

becky | May 18, 2009

Life got a workout this weekend.  And I don’t mean the normal insane-paced life of soccer, baseball, friends, etc.  that Ben and I lead.   I mean that between Friday and Sunday my dear friend Kim hit a milestone birthday which she tried to ignore but gladly in the end succumbed to her bossy friends, my dad [...]

Love From The Big House

becky | March 25, 2009

My computer recently decided that I have loaded too many pictures and therefore I am no longer worthy of uploading nary a photo.  Just like a good Jewish grandmother it seemed to say to me, “Beckala!  Enough with the pit-chas already!  Just write to the nice people!  OY!”  Since posting pictures of the family birthday soiree [...]

Why She’s Not Only “My Person” But Also “Aunt Shelly”

becky | March 10, 2009

Shelly:  I loved the interview with Ben by the way. Stay at home? What? That little bundle of energy?  Becky:  And speaking of energy… all the way to school this morning I told him, “be careful on the sidewalk, it’s really slippery.”  So I drop him off and what does he do? RUNS! Down the hill [...]

Single In The City – Part 3

becky | February 20, 2009

In an effort to have a Valentine’s Day that doesn’t include a single 36 year old woman spending the night with her parents and her kid, eating obscene amounts of Peeps, I once again have thrown myself into the Online Dating fire and joined Yahoo Personals.  Queue the angels singing. And let me tell you [...]

Super Sunday

becky | February 2, 2009

I was so psyched for the Superbowl this year!  You betcha!  I’m just a huge football fan.  Oh yeah, I was watching all the playoffs weeks beforehand and rooting for those teams that made it to the big game. You know… those teams.  Um, yeah I didn’t either.   Good thing I have Ben.  “Hey Ben, we are going [...]

Tired+Headache+Access To The Internet = The Blog Post Below

becky | December 5, 2008

Saturday night I met Shelly downtown for a mutal friend’s birthday party. There was a girl in the group who looked so familiar but I couldn’t place her.  It was driving me crazy! Me: I know that girl from somewhere. Shelly: Well she has hung out with us at Badger games. Me: No… I don’t [...]

Why Everyone Needs Their Own “Person”

becky | November 11, 2008

A Friday afternoon email exchange: Becky: Ugh, I’m so done with this week. Shelly: Me too.  I just want to crawl into a little hole and not come out for a few days. Becky: No kidding!  Going to bed at 9 tonight sounds really great right now. Shelly: With hot apple cider. Becky: or red wine [...]

Do Halloween. Check!

becky | November 2, 2008

Another Halloween has come and gone.  Because I’m mildly insane about holidays and celebrating them to the fullest extent the day will allow, I feel complete in my soul when said holiday goes well. In this case Halloween was a great success!  Especially with it’s rocky, ambivalent start. Did The Punk have fun?  Check! Did he get enough candy to [...]

Lit Addict

becky | October 21, 2008

It started out innocently enough.  A couple here and there.  Nothing serious, just a taste for the stuff.   It was just two friends experimenting and sometimes trying what the other one had.  No one was getting hurt.  We were both still going to work and being productive there.  Housework and laundry were getting done on a regular [...]
