Carcharodonna: Resuming
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009/02/resuming.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. I have sent out six resumes in the last few days. I am starting to really worry here about how we will provide for our daughter. There is nothing, and I mean, NOTHING out there for my husband at the moment. . Besides which, if I go to work, I will miss the opportunity to throw this on the kid and take pictures: . This is a look at what you'll see in the background from now on. In various states of cleanliness and general upkeep:. Labels: Boring People Since 2006.

Carcharodonna: August 2008
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. I am 25 weeks pregnant today! Links to this post. Friday, August 29, 2008. Discourse for the Modern Age. Maybe that's the reason they seek outside company, to keep finding people that are interested in their old stories and observations, to make them feel beautiful and mysterious again. Probably, as ashamed as I am to admit that. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. I joined Facebook yesterday morning and subsequently sucked the whole day dry of any potential. A shared b...

Carcharodonna: Wow, It's Uh, Been a While
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009/03/wow-its-uh-been-while.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. Wow, It's Uh, Been a While. I wish I were more like Alison. I'm me, and I'm not writing here. And I'm not only not writing here, I'm not really writing anywhere. Actually, that is not true. I am writing. I am writing copiously, I am writing fervently, I am inscribing on my mind and heart the first few months of my darling, glorious, awesome, incredible baby girl. That's parenting. The awe and wonder. . This is a wondrous endeavor. . I'm awed. I'm humbled. ...But can we...

Carcharodonna: May 2009
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 15, 2009. I know it has been so very long since I last posted. I believe I've been suffering from Ongoing-Traumatic-Stress Disorder. . You see, I quit my high paying job in July of last year partly because I was pissed at how they treated me, partly because the high-stress, high-smoking and high-drinking lifestyle wasn't conducive to the tiny pup in my belly and partly because I grew up in a wild and loving huge family and wanted the same for my incoming baby. The thought of being without my ...

Carcharodonna: November 2008
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. Too Much Information in 3.2.1. So, today I received an unpleasant surprise. It seems that checking your cervix to see how far effaced you are is NOT comfortable. . And when I say it is not comfortable, I mean that I almost slapped my doctor. . Let me pause and reflect, "thankyougodthankyougodthankyougodthankyougodthankyougod.". We signed another offer on our house today. This is the third. We are happy, but it is hard to let go of our doubt and frustration. We've...Absurd...

Carcharodonna: October 2008
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. I have exactly 15 eatable cookies out of the batch I made this morning. What with the first batch being undercooked (there is a difference between "chewy" and "intestinally inadvisable") the third batch having the oven turned off accidentally (wtf? Dough runs out, and then, NO I'm not going to scrape the bowl, fuck it, I've been standing here for hours and I just remembered I don't actually LIKE cookies. What a difference a neighborhood makes! Links to this post. I still find ...

Carcharodonna: July 2008
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. Writing to you from Sacramento, where our world has fallen apart. A week ago, more than that, Tuesday the 15th of July, three days before closing, my agent called me to tell me that the buyer was backing out. WHAT? The buyer officially backed out the next day. We were leaving on Saturday with the house unsold, vacant, and now we are two states away. How will we ever find another buyer when all the news is full of banks closing, stocks dropping, economy sucking? Links to this post.

Carcharodonna: Correspondence File: 2/15/09
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009/02/correspondence-file-21509.html
Sunday, February 15, 2009. Dear Large Companies Posting Jobs on Monster:. I have a favor to ask: Please don't make me submit my resume and cover letter through your bullshit, bug-ridden employment software. I upload and it auto-fills everything wrong. I cut and paste and painstakingly reformat, and then the goddamn site crashes and I lose everything. Even in these troubled times, if your posting says apply only using our online system, I say Go Fuck Yourself. I am debating on whether or not to post an ho...

Carcharodonna: New Parent Smackdown
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009/02/while-things-are-getting-clearer-and-we.html
Friday, February 06, 2009. While things are getting clearer. Re both getting more comfortable in our abilities with the baby, I still find that the clocks in the house blitz through the hours, and each night I'm stunned to realize it is night, and the world is again asleep. I will be sending resumes out tomorrow, and I am devastated. What if I get a job, and have to take it? I just remembered that a urine soaked diaper fell facedown on the floor by her changing table, so I'll go clean that up. . My Hus...

Carcharodonna: January 2009
http://carcharodonna.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. I am phoning it in today, because I have spent a great day napping with the baby and now I'm playing Rock Band with my husband. He is playing Medium, I am playing Easy and spending more time updating my hair and outfit than I am playing songs. Every dollar I get, I immediately go and change my hairstyle. So instead, here are some recent pictures of the baby:. Hello, my name is McScreamy. I don't like that toy, no, not at all. Top Chef is so prosaic, you know? Like a homing mi...
