Gig Girl To Go Go

April 4, 2011

Not-so-secret-confession:  Gig Girl abhors grocery shopping.  In my ritualistic weekly routine of tedious, mundane things that I have to do…food shopping always gets the “bottom feeder” award.  Back in MA, I remember one of my favorite bosses sat me down and informed me that, as a single mom, I didn’t have time for two things: […]

March 11, 2011

Survival Lesson 1: Communication At All Costs Communication. We grow up hearing that successful communication holds the key to a successful marriage. Looking at our parents’ happy unions that have spanned an almost 90 years combined, Hubs and I couldn’t help but agree. So for the entirely of our almost three years of marriage, we’ve […]

One Year Of Corporation Liberation

February 23, 2011

This past Saturday, February 19th marked some major milestones in the House Of Gig.  Exactly one year earlier, I gave my former boss the infamous “Lips moving, still talking” diatribe and bid the world of Big Business adieu.  On February 19th, 2010 I officially began the phase of my life I like to refer to […]

On Time Is The New Early

February 9, 2011

Gig Girl has a theory – as women, no matter how highly functioning, evolved and well-adjusted we may be, we all still have our own personal brand of lunacy. It may rear its head in the form of mere idiosyncrasy, neurosis or a full-fledged phobia but as a gender, we are far too complicated not […]

Snow Day Salvation

January 26, 2011

Gig Girl has a confession to make…I am sooooooo done with winter (did I hear a few cyber “Amens” there??  I think I did).  However, I realize I live in New Hampshire and, even though I personally feel the region has been impersonating Antarctica rather than New England lately, the frigid cold and endless tundras […]

Sweatin’ With The Oldies

January 12, 2011

Like most new moms, Gig Girl had but one Christmas Wish this holiday season: Dear Santa, I’ve been extremely, very, pretty, kinda good this year.  The only thing I want for Christmas this year is…my pre-pregnancy body back.  I know you’re super busy so please don’t waste any time wrapping it up for me.  Just […]

I’m baaaaack…kinda sorta

January 5, 2011

Note To Self: Add “I’m really sure I’ll only need a 2 week maternity leave once the baby gets here” to the ever growing (and already quite lengthy) list of ridiculous things that Gig Girl spouts on an embarrassingly consistent basis.  (I sense a New Year’s resolution in there somewhere about attempting to just STOP […]

Happy Holidays!

December 22, 2010

Exactly one year ago this week, the Hubs and I experienced our second miscarriage of 2009.  We had initially planned on making our big pregnancy announcement to our families Christmas morning – instead we somehow navigated through our worst holiday season together and anxiously anticipated the end of what we consider “the worst year ever.” […]

Life In The Pod

December 15, 2010

Anyone who knows the Hubs and I personally knows that, as a couple, we tend to roll through life on the gritty side.  We are undeniably blessed and fortunate, but strange, awkward and occasionally mortifying things happen to us that would never happen to anyone else (Case in Point: the whole Dot saga…a perfect example […]

He’s Here!

December 1, 2010

Just a quick update (as Gig Girl is happily a teense tired these days and surely not capable of anything longer that a “note”.  Please forgive any typos or grammatical errors).  On November 19th, Hubs and I made our way to the hospital for our scheduled C-Section with Dr. T.  Apparently, November 19th was a […]
