It’s a rainy Saturday and I spent all afternoon at one of my grandmother’s Ladies’ Lunches. So I have that post-being-dressed-up fatigue and don’t want to do anything but bum around the internet. So, here we are.
About a year or so ago, I subscribed to this site that posted old VHS videos. I never really [...]
I’ve heard from various sources that you’re supposed to get your hair trimmed every six weeks. This sounds nice and all, but I’ve always fancied it to be excessive, both in terms of maintenance and cost. Granted, I tend to let things go longer than I should, but usually get my hair cut maybe twice [...]
With the Master’s degree pretty much over and done with (or, as I told my friend Jennie the other day, “It was time to put that bitch to rest,”), I am all set to dive into holiday stuff.
I have this emotional quirk that doesn’t allow me to enjoy things if I have some stressful [...]
One of my quirky pet peeves is inefficiency. Specifically, inefficient packaging. As insignificant as a concern as this may be, I think it will start to have significant consequences as people rely more on e-commerce and shipping in terms of costs, both financial and environmental.
So, for the baby’s birthday, I ordered (shh, don’t tell) this [...]
My great-uncle brought it back from Italy after World War II and gave it to my grandmother. I wore it on our wedding day.
My plans for today included laundry, eating, maybe going to the nail shop, taking a nap, and whatever the female equivalent is of laying on the couch and scratching one’s balls.

Oh, yes they did.
I haven’t blown up like that [...]
As I just said when I shared this on Google Reader, “There’s an Ice Cube ‘It Was a Good Day,’ ‘didn’t even have to use my AK’ joke in here somewhere and I just can’t get it out.”
Why, yes, I am avoiding thinking about my Grammar mid-term that starts in an hour and a half. [...]
In somewhat stark contrast to the picture below, in which my brand-new son and I clung to each other, skin on skin, I report to you that I spent a good portion of the evening bellowing, “DO. YOUR. HOME. WORK. NOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW.” And throwing in a, “There will be no TV ever again and if you [...]
Hi. I just got back from the doctor’s office and getting my breast ultrasounded. Everything is cool. I had to wait forever, but I really didn’t mind since I walked out of there relieved and I really can’t say the same for a few of the women that were also there.
I hopped on the bus [...]
This ad is a perfect example of why it is always a good idea to have a copywriter and/or editor who is totally immature when you are working on the script for a new commercial.*
In case you missed that, Shawn Johnson actually uttered the sentence, “It makes my taco pop.” WHO DOES THAT?????
* hiring parties [...]
