A Sort of Love Mosaic

Reality meets fantasy. My lunch hour was spent pumping milk & looking through New York City real estate. I always dreamed of being a Mom so now who knows when I’ll be living in New York? 😉

Get me out of this black hole. Okay, maybe not just yet. My friends have said it’s evil, and now I understand why. Tumblr‘s like a fun, massive black hole. I say it’s a good source of pop culture. If you’re tumbling about, let me know. My tumblr’s called Macaroni and Serendipity. And feel free to ask me stuff.

“by the time I got good with things other people were into something else.” So goes the opening line of one of my favorite poems. I’ve been re-reading this Charles Bukowski poem and the comments on the entry. It got me thinking that we’ll always be lagging behind on something, ‘no? Perhaps it’s not because we’re dissatisfied with where we are. Maybe it’s more of we’re always aspiring for something else, something better for ourselves and so we have that impression of ourselves as being left behind, being not quite there yet. It’s all a matter of perspective, yes. But when I’m feeling like I just can’t catch up with others or with the dreams I have for myself and my family, I go back to this poem. It gives me hope.

And speaking of hope: my son, my chunky ball of love. It was about a year ago today that H & I announced to family we were expecting a baby. My Dad said it was his best birthday ever. A year later, he’s holding his best birthday present ever in his arms. Timmy’s just one big ball of love, love, love. He’s turning 5 months old tomorrow! My chunky little one is growing up so fast. I haven’t even gotten his baby scrapbook together yet. Yowza.

And how are you doing so far this week?

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
