Sprachbund in Austin: Farewell, Newborn Days!
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2011/07/farewell-newborn-days.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Farewell, Newborn Days! Magdalena reflects on her youth. Technically, a newborn ceases to be a newborn after the first four weeks. As baby Magdalena is approaching her fifth week on the outside, she is a mere baby. So this entry is a pictoral retrospective. In all the ways the pregnancy sucked rocks, Magdalena's first weeks have been pretty grand. She sleeps, she eats, and she doesn't cry unless plagued by an unusually painful bout of gas. To looking more like a cute li'l baby.

Sprachbund in Austin: Vanity post
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2012/03/vanity-post.html
Thursday, March 15, 2012. I'm doing cartwheels today, because my dissertation revisions have been approved and even complimented. I kinda feel like this dude:. One of the theoretical chapters needs just a little spiffying to be more journal-ish, but it shouldn't take too long. And I'm working on a very fun article on dialect and socio-historical residential patterns in New Orleans. It's due today.it's gonna be a long night. Still, linguist Jess is a happy camper! 1 I finally found a coral lipstick. Even ...

http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2012/06/having-enough.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. In the month since I graduated, it's been a whirlwind of activity, including a trip to California to see family, and now we're making an offer on a house.a fixer-upper on the East side. Yikes.

Sprachbund in Austin: May 2012
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. So, I just discovered this amazing gif after falling into a wikihole. It went: heaven- Gustave Doré's illustration of Dante- Gustave Doré (who was a looker, in an 1850s sort of way)- Gaspard-Félix Tournachon. How wonderful and creepy. Http:/ commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nadar autoportrait tournant.gif. It's a gif made out of this self-portrait series. Oh, humans, how I love you sometimes. May in New Orleans. Turquoise ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. How old are you, Ida?

Sprachbund in Austin: Rosie wants me to adopt her.
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2012/03/rosie-wants-me-to-adopt-her.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. Rosie wants me to adopt her. The four girls were laughing and talking, when Hope brought up the fact that she is adopted. Lucero tells her that she, too, is adopted. From the stove, I chirp in with, "Yep, by me! Next, Mila, who is just 6, says in the not-very-nice sing-song voice that little girls have been using since time immemorial, "I'm not a-do-opted! Hoo-ray for me-ee," ending with a final cheer, "Woohoo! So I butt in with, "Adoption is awesome! Lucero says, "Yeah! You real...

Sprachbund in Austin: Ode to outsourcing domestic duties
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2010/07/ode-to-outsourcing-domestic-duties.html
Friday, July 2, 2010. Ode to outsourcing domestic duties. As my family and friends know, my path to motherhood was unconventional. Over half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned, so there was nothing so unusual in the fact that Rosie's conception was a."surprise! As any step-mom knows, the transition takes a while. And in the event that a child's birth mother is not present, and the child is very young, the transition is to a real parent. Deep and wonderful! My work was clearly more flexible than...

Sprachbund in Austin: Za-Za-Zaftig!
http://sprachbund.blogspot.com/2012/02/za-za-zaftig.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. Of a woman: plump, curvaceous, ‘sexy’. Nigella Lawson, the very picture of zaftig. You don't really hear that word thrown around much anymore, except in the occasional New Yorker or Vanity Fair piece. And it's a shame, really. There are so few positive expressions for round and sexy with as much panache and verve as zaftig. Let's reintroduce zaftig into common circulation. What does it take to popularize an expression? But not necessarily how to revive. Farewell, Newborn Days!
