DC Zia: It was supposed to be like this
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/05/it-was-supposed-to-be-like-this.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. It was supposed to be like this. We have no childcare. The one that we were supposed. To bring her home to, just about six months ago. Well, you know how that. Went Recall what it looked like in the "during construction" phase. You know that we were still in the rented beige apartment. When Helene was born, that we brought her home there, because our house was still a dust-covered deathtrap construction zone until the end of January. I guess it doesn't really. Because Helene loooves...

DC Zia: I'm happy
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-happy.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. Yes, I did get to pet a kangaroo. This is a gray kangaroo, which is actually brown. The red kangaroos look mostly gray, so don't try to figure that one out either. Kangaroo fur is much softer than you'd think. It reminds me of petting a horse with its thick winter coat. We saw the kangaroos at this place. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

DC Zia: Of shop vacs and improvisation
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/06/of-shop-vacs-and-improvisation.html
Thursday, June 4, 2009. Of shop vacs and improvisation. And addictive chicken cutlet Philly-style Italian sandwiches at Taylor Deli. And playdates in the park in the lovely spring weather in DC which only lasts like, a minute, so you have to get out and enjoy it. It's true. And am I here to write about all the fun we've been having? Of course not, because why would I do that? It's boring. Suffering really has much more pith and drama to it, don't you think? If not, how do I get out? Suddenly, I was baref...

DC Zia: Fleeing the scene
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2008/09/fleeing-scene.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. We have temporarily fled our under-construction house. It all came about kind of quickly. Seth's parents were here about two weeks ago, to deliver the dog. So, now we've gone and made everything more complicated by having Grandchild #2 on a continent that is neither Europe nor Australia. Now, my in-laws are wondering if they want to move back to the U.S. permanently (they spend summers here), and if so, where? They're considering DC, in order to be as close to the shiny new gr...

DC Zia: Zia's Fables in Two Tales, or Lessons Learned
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/08/zias-fables-in-two-tales-or-lessons.html
Monday, August 3, 2009. Zia's Fables in Two Tales, or Lessons Learned. On "Trying To Do The Right Thing:". Yesterday, we finally, finally cleared the last bits of leftover stuff from the basement, remnants of the moving out the renovation, the moving in, the thinning out. Seth loaded them all up in the Jeep so I could take them to Goodwill. A few boxes of books, a box or two of clothes and odd housewares, a lamp, two maple barstools. Had I really been disrespectful? I got to the parking lot, and realized...

DC Zia: Milestones and resolutions
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/01/milestones-and-resolutions.html
Monday, January 5, 2009. 1 We survived our first extended car trip with the baby. It was a medium-distance jaunt to New Jersey for Seth's family's annual Hannukah fest. 3 I also managed the Superfund cleanup of the first official diaper blowout. This was, unfortunately, also at the above-referenced I-95 rest stop. I still have not figured out exactly what type of physics of force or trajectory or high-pressure compressed gas results in the baby having poop all the way up her back, dear god. 5 I can wear ...

DC Zia: Gone fishing
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/11/gone-fishing.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I've been suprised to hear that people still look at this page from time to time, even though it has been three months since I posted anything here. There is still a Flickr link and you can still read my inane Twitterness if you like. I guess I'll leave all of that up. But mostly, I've moved. Remember: it's my blog and I will curse if I want to. You can click that little X in the upper corner if you don't like it. Thanks for reading. (. Pesky bloggers, trying to lay down rules.

DC Zia: Mothers' Day? What? Me? Oh yeah, right.
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day-what-me-oh-yeah-right.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. Oh yeah, right. Yes, I really did not realize for a time that Mothers' Day applied to me this year. Seth: "So, Sunday is Mothers' Day." Me:"Oh yeah. We should definitely call my mom and do a video chat with her, and don't forget to call your mom." Seth: "Uh, I meant what do you. I will be sure to milk this a lot more next year. Mothers' Day breakfast. Mmm, bacon. This comment has been removed by the author. May 18, 2009 at 7:34 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

DC Zia: Reprieve
http://dczia.blogspot.com/2009/06/reprieve.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. Sometimes, good news comes in wolf's clothing. Or something like that. Sometime after this totally deranged post. You're a real fan if you managed to read it, and sorry about that), we hooked up with another daycare-waitlisted family to embark on a phenomenon known as a "nanny share." In sum: 2 families 1 nanny = less cost. I laughed to Seth. I once described them as the "alternate universe us". For us), how to get an employer Federal taxpayer ID number, workers comp insurance, the...
