Facebook troubles.

I like facebook. I really do. I'm not one of those people who roll their eyes at peoples' need to update their statuses and tell the "world" they went to the gym. However, I use it sparingly. I've found that sticking to safe topics is better for everyone. Having family and friends from around the world I don't want to offend means I'm limited in my output. In general I thought safe topics were: the weather, pets, food, and baby. I was wrong. And I found this out when one of my so-called friends "un-friended" me because I was putting up too many pictures of my gorgeous and incredibly edible daughter. Some 30-somethings are just anti-baby. Another grad-student, doing his PhD in Italian lit at NYU jokingly said to me tonight while we were chatting, "Get a blog already!"

So this blog is for all the people who want to see how a PhD student in French Literature at the University of Pittsburgh juggles life, baby, dog, cat, husband, and social life. And in a way it's a way to prove that being a Mama doesn't mean I'm not a person anymore either.

So here goes.
