Snappy Surprise: December 2013
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Where to find me. Friday, 20 December 2013. Oh my god, today. I had a lot on my plate today. Regular Christmas prep coupled with the in-laws visiting tonight meant that I had to: make dinner, clean the house, wrap the gifts, and pick up some groceries - all while caring for a tiny human. And oh, facing a snowstorm. It started out fine, as most jerk days do, and then BAM. It bit me in the ass. I tried everything and couldn't fix the fucking thing, so I called the company. What am I supposed to do? Further...

Snappy Surprise: Asshole Depression
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/p/asshole-depression.html
Where to find me. Yeah I write about Depression. Not all the time (that would be miserable for all of us), but when I feel like it. Sometimes it's heartfelt, sometimes it's messy, and sometimes it's a goddam laugh riot. But I do write about it. Because it's part of who I am. That wasn't always the case. I was, years ago, one of those classic over-achiever types who thought she could survive anything. In fact, shd. Survive anything. Push it aside, power through, overcome. October 13, 2012 3:06 pm.

Snappy Surprise: Shitionary Sunday
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/p/shitionary-sunday.html
Where to find me. Yeah You heard correctly. I don't know what to say. This is random. Hubby and I played Pictionary with a friend one night, and then I of course blogged about the sheer ridiculousness of it. Somehow that turned into MS Paint creations of unknown origin and identity. That my loyal (and crazy? So on Sundays, I used to post an artistic rendering like this:. And then people guessed what it was. Like Pictionary, but shittier. June 03, 2011 5:43 pm. BECAUSE I *WILL* WIN THIS TIME! Musings of a...

Snappy Surprise: FAQ
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/p/faq.html
Where to find me. Who the hell is Roseanne Roseannadanna? Is Roseanne Roseannadanna. She was a character played by Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live. In the 1970s and 80s. Although I wasn't alive during Roseanne Roseannadanna's time, I can appreciate the early golden days of SNL (pre- Dana Carvey and Mike Myers, pre- Chris Farley and David Spade, pre- Will Ferrell and Tina Fay). Also? Someone nicknamed me "Marianna Annadanna" - and I guess it kinda stuck. What is a "Snappy Surprise"? Category. Be w...

Snappy Surprise: Dear Fraggle, Just learn the good stuff, k?
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2015/01/dear-fraggle-just-learn-good-stuff-k.html
Where to find me. Sunday, 18 January 2015. Dear Fraggle, Just learn the good stuff, k? Newsflash my baby: Lately you are less "baby", more "small human taking over our house." You recently turned 18 months old, and it is finally becoming clear to me what people meant when they promised this parent job would get fun. Because holy hell my little monkey, you are so. much. FUN. My point is, Fraggle, you're making our lives so much more fun. Like, a lot. Before I went to sleep the other night, I was counting.

Snappy Surprise: February 2014
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Where to find me. Friday, 28 February 2014. Tomorrow is the end. Fucking balls. Tomorrow is the end - the end of Birthday Month. It wasn't necessarily as glorious as I had hoped (not exactly a 28 day wacky celebration), but it was still pretty great. My actual birthday was in fact last Saturday. It was a good day! So, all in all, a pretty wicked day. Looking forward to m y dinner with friends. The best part is that I seem to have taught Fraggle how to take a bottle (! Posted by Marianna Annadanna. Which ...

Snappy Surprise: October 2013
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Where to find me. Wednesday, 9 October 2013. Dear Fraggle - Volume 3. Are you kidding me? I'm still unclear on how the final six months of pregnancy dragged on like a tortuous apocalypse, while the first three months of your little life have flown by like the Roadrunner on meth. Another exciting/sad thing since the last time I wrote. When you were 11 weeks old, you achieved the most amazing feat. YOU ROLLED OVER. Apparently it's early for this particular accomplishment, but I don't really conside...The a...

Snappy Surprise: September 2014
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Where to find me. Thursday, 18 September 2014. After 23 months (9 14) of being my baby’s sole provider of care (i.e., eat, drink, sleep, play, learn – let’s be honest, I was her sole provider of. For all intents and purposes), I am now two weeks into my ominous Return To Work. The Strangercare Dress Rehearsal. The Home Nesting Interpretive Dance. A fast and sometimes furious flutter, organizing and cleaning in an attempt to prepare for the new world order. An often fruitless but necessary exercise. A slo...

Snappy Surprise: August 2013
http://snappysurprise.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Where to find me. Friday, 23 August 2013. I'm a goddam medical mystery. And a failure to boot. I wrote this in June, but I was afraid to post it. It was a dark time for me; I wasn't sure how many details I wanted to share. Time has since passed, and now I want to share it - for any woman struggling through pregnancy, with or without complications and/or antepartum depression. How common is pregnancy? Probably about half the human population is physically capable, and it's safe to say that most of those do.
