The other day Josh and I were talking about this image that was making the rounds on facebook. If you are on facebook chances are, you saw it. Here, let me refresh your memory… He said to me, “did you see that photo?” and yes I had. He asked me how I felt about it, [...]
I understand there are such things as lulls and bad luck, but man, the amount of tragic spice, whining and complaining from a lot of people on my feeds is… wow. It’s sad that people cannot see the value in life and themselves enough to boost them up a little. Look, shit gets bad, god [...]
Yesterday we ventured into Philly again, this time cause I wanted to check out the Reading Terminal Market. The Market itself is pretty amazing but this post is not about that. Josh ended up in an old book area and Reza and I went exploring, walking around. I did some photo taking, eye shopping and [...]
I had a rough day earlier last week. I am in the process of getting reza enrolled in school. In order to do so, I have to get a form from her Dr. saying she is well enough to so. In all the moving hoopla I failed to get our medical records. Well, so far [...]
It is not news when I say that I despise the way some parents choose to instill this kind of thing in their daughters. I have never been a fan of of the girly girl, foofy, “mommie’s little princess/diva” clothes that are out there, I am not a fan of a toddler decked out in [...]
Yesterday our landlord allowed us to have our stuff delivered even though he hasn’t moved out yet. Awesome! It’s gonna save us a grip of cash to have to store it, word. Then the day slowly declined into the following…. Reza and I go to the house to check off bill of lading Driver shows [...]

When I last reported about our sleeping patterns I showed you via lovely, and still hilarious diagrams of how us Carleys play the football field that is our bed. Heh, those drawings still crack me up. In this edition of “How We Sleep”, which should really be called “How THEY Sleep”, I bring you this: [...]
I would love to get to posting all about my adventures in San Francisco this past weekend but as you all know, I am a visual person and not sure how I found myself in this predicament. Photos are stuck on the camera! Somebody in the house bent my camera cable and my card reader [...]
I came across this video earlier today. While it can a small helping of self indulgence with a small side of “I’m better than you”, I could not help but enjoy it because as much as we don’t want to admit it, there is a lot of truth behind the message. This is a truth [...]
