From the Office of the MOB -Elect…

Posted by Dave

…a.k.a…FOB.  No, I haven’t finally won a closely fought run-off election.  More like a shady late hour appointment.  After talking briefly with Em on the phone after school yesterday, she informed me that she was coming down with the plague virus that has apparently afflicted every other member of our extended family.  So… rather than [...]

Gone Fishin’

Posted by Emily

Some MoB readers may perhaps be wondering how I did on my self-imposed “40 til 40″ fitness challenge which officially ended November 23.  For those recently joining, I committed exactly 40 days before my 40th birthday to get off my a#@ and in some sort of shape.  Cut to the chase:  I lost about 8 [...]

26 til 40 with Bonus Recipe!

Posted by Emily

It has been two weeks since my 40 til 40 post when I committed stupidly publicly to getting myself in shape. I have 26 days left. I think I have lost about 3 pounds but more importantly, I feel much better physically. Here is what I look like now: Admittedly, I have a ways to [...]

40 til 40

Posted by Emily

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at the close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. -Dylan Thomas The other day, the boys and I were taking the dog for a walk at the local park. We always take the same route which begins [...]

Diagnosis: Mork from Ork

Posted by Emily

Noah came down with the Mork from Ork sore throat on Saturday night. You know the one that comes with horrible referred pain in your ear when you swallow? The only relief is to stick your finger in your ear and apply significant pressure…every time you swallow…which happens a lot. It’s a goofy gesture that [...]

Oophorectomy – Sequel, Prequel

Posted by Emily

I’m lying in bed typing having survived my oophorectomy. I guess I am doing what the professional PR people call “resting comfortably”. But since I am not a movie star or celebrity, I can tell you that “comfortable” is not exactly the operative word. The Percocet that I put so much faith in made me [...]

Oophorectomy I

Posted by Emily

Tomorrow morning when most of you are still sleeping, I will be at the hospital getting ready to go to sleep. You see I am undergoing an oophorectomy, a procedural name which makes me smile when I want to vomit. Whoever named it must have known exactly how women like me feel when the doctor [...]
