For the past two weeks, Alex has been fighting a cold. It seems to be mostly gone at this point, but like any good 14 month old he’s still rather snotty. It’s amazing how much mucus someone so small can produce.
He recently discovered that he can fit his finger in his nose. Every few minutes [...]

The protest was a success. About 500 people showed up, marched around Oakland, and at least 20 people gave speeches. Many of the stories were beautiful, and many were very painful.
A couple was married in Massachusetts and now has two adorable sons. Beautiful.

The scene: Human Growth and Development class. We are discussing adulthood, ages 40-65.
Professor: “Why do you think married couples have less sex during this stage of their life?”
Girl #1: “‘Cause their bodies be triflin’.”
Girl #2: “‘Cause the dude can’t get it up.”
Words of wisdom. Again.

I have so many wonderful pictures on my camera. Beautiful pictures of Alex, adorable pictures of Zach and Alex, and hilarious pictures of being with my friends. I can’t get them onto my computer, though.
Something is clearly wrong. It could be my computer, which I have a box that it will fit into perfectly for [...]

Sarah is coming into town today, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I am so lucky to have someone as amazing as she is in my life. We have gone through a lot since we first met each other just over four years ago.
I’ll never forget the night we became friends. It was a [...]

I was walking to class this morning directly behind two young women. They looked very young, so I’m guessing they were probably prospective students or freshman. One was wearing a mini skirt, tank top, and flip flops. The other had on a winter jacket.
Girl #1: I was talking to Jared, and he says there is [...]

There are 57 days remaining until the end of the year. That means 2009 is right around the corner.
Before 2009, though, three very important dates will pass:
First, my birthday. We all know how important birthdays are, right?
Second, Christmas. I have always loved Christmas. It’s my favorite time of year. Between a birthday and Christmas, you [...]

Tomorrow is election day. I want to be able to wake up, feed Alex, and walk down the street to the elementary school where I can vote.
Then I want to come home and sit in front of msnbc all day long watching the election results come in. I could take a break for lunch and [...]

Zach, Alex, and I went to our friends’ house to watch the Steelers game yesterday. We ate cheese and crackers, chips and queso, had some delicious grapes, enjoyed watching the game in HD while attempting to convince Alex not to touch things that he shouldn’t touch. Alex was well behaved, only stepping on a few [...]

This past December, my phone stopped charging. It would indicate that it was fully charged, but when I tried to make a call I couldn’t talk on it for more than 3 minutes before it would die. Fortunately, I was able to get a new phone from my Best Friend, Sarah.
Unfortunately, that phone stopped working [...]
I'm Allison Barton, a 22-year old new mother and student. I'm highly literal, occasionally moody, obsessed with Burt's Bees and compulsive about spreading butter perfectly onto toast. I am a wanna-be-Geek, loving all things Apple, and I hate competing with my friends. I am immensely loyal, not fastidious, and love to cook.
This is me:
I live with my wonderful partner, Zach, and our beautiful baby boy, Alexander. Alex was born on August 28, 2007. He is the most amazing little person that I could have ever imagined knowing. Zach is a software engineer and hopes Alex will love computers as much as he does. We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This is my family:
Aren't they adorable?
