The Browns: September 2011
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2011. Our Mostly Finished Living Room. I have this ugly orange folder where I keep my house decorating inspirations. It's like a more archaic form of Pinterest. I call it Staplering:. Anyway, this month we officially celebrated our one-year anniversary as Savannah homeowners. Though I have completely underestimated how long it takes to finish working on a home, our living room is for the most part complete. This is what it looked like when we moved in:. And here's what we did:.

The Browns: October 2012
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. So clearly I can't seem to blog anymore. I can't even manage to read blogs anymore. And it's not for lack of time, trust me. This semester I'm only teaching World Lit, and I just finished watching the whole first season of Once Upon a Time. And now they might be getting back together? Oh, what, you don't care about Rob and Kristen? US Magazine isn't a bookmark on your browser? Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. They're funny. Smart. Creative. Have two kids. Make ...Then they broke up.

The Browns: May 2014
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. Any Northwest baby needs a good set of jackets! Side note A: Yes, there happens to be a letter B hanging on the wall behind the baby's crib.but who knows what that really means. Baby? Side note B: Also, I was really into getting a live plant for the baby's room. When I brought the plant home one day, Andrew asked me what it was. "It's the baby's plant," I said. "The baby's plant? Why would the baby need a plant? My husband inquired. "Well obviously. Get here already, baby. You...

The Browns: June 2011
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. We pulled it off. This is the face of someone who didn't expect to see you in the airport, 4,000 miles away from your home, and thus can only continuously and adamantly shout the word "No" (caught here mid-sentence) in disbelief:. And these are the faces of two siblings reunited after two years of being apart:. Though mildly traumatic, surprises are the best. Labels: airport surprises: more fun and less shocking than unexpected pregnancies. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Fortunately, Bosto...

Monday, June 18, 2012. Sometimes We Make Things. About six months ago, I fell in love with this bookcase from World Market:. Activity. So we got some wood and Andrew built the frame. Also, everyone's garage looks like this, right? No room for cars. Just tires. Then I had the really important job of "distressing" the wood, which required me to nail holes in the wood, or bang it with a hammer, or drag a screw driver over Andrew's meticulous framework. I am gifted in forms of destruction. So here's hoping g...

The Browns: One Year Later: Benjamin's Birth Story
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2015/06/one-year-later-benjamins-birth-story.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2015. One Year Later: Benjamin's Birth Story. Note: I wrote most of this story a few months after giving birth, but finished it only recently. It is very long, but to be fair, so was my labor. Texts to cease, I went on a long uphill walk with Andrew. Mammoth feet be damned, this baby needed to get out. Seems like those two things are on the same time trajectory…. Seriously. As in just after a 2? After what felt like 2 days of active labor and 2 weeks of early labor? The midwives were hap...

The Browns: January 2014
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 24, 2014. While I'm leaving out a lot of details, as of the end of December, Andrew was officially on terminal leave and we began plotting our long road trip westward. Though Andrew doesn't currently have a job (to answer the obvious question.), since he is on terminal leave from the military he still has a paycheck until March 1st. So we're not quite as crazy and capricious as we seem. Andrew has made. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Elizabeth Madox Roberts Society.

The Browns: August 2011
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. I finally have tomatoes. Of course, having tomatoes has already presented its share of garden evils (lest we forget the zucchini larva saga so soon). Just recently I went out to monitor their progress and discovered this seemingly innocent caterpillar friend:. After talking to it for a few seconds in a baby voice ( What are youuu doing out here, little guy? I crouched down next to it just in time to choke on my words and spout curses towards all things garden-related in the South.

The Browns: July 2011
http://lyndrewbrown.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. An R-Rated story about Gardens. I have sleep problems. Those of you who have ever lived with me know this is the case. My sleeping habits are questionable to say the least: I'm hypersensitive to noise, I have strange rituals involving socks and chapstick, and I tend to take out my sleep frustrations on those around me. I'm no Freud, but I think this means I am afraid of bugs. In fact, I think this means I am more afraid of bugs than anything else in the world. Then I got worried.
