Saw Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women at World Live Cafe last night and THEY BURNED IT TO THE GROUND!  Great show.  Then we hung out at a karaoke bar until 1:30 a.m.  Back at 'em again now.1. "Let's All Help the Cowboys (Sing the Blues)" -- Waylon Jen…

My morning sickness is so bad that just looking at this made me puke. Of course tomorrow I'll crave it.

With Ri, I am certain I was in the first phase of labor for weeks. Hard contractions (not Braxton Hicks but real hard ass contractions) off and on for literally weeks. It would come for hours at a time and then go. When I went in for the last time,…
