by Tena

on August 30, 2010 in EZPZ

In life, a good rule of thumb is if it includes cream cheese and chocolate, it is good.   Remember that- it will get you through a LOT!  You’re welcome. In my house, we live by this rule.  When we have gatherings, there is, but ONE staple, as far as a food.  Some have chicken wings, [...]

School’s In!

by Tena

on August 26, 2010 in Parenting

With the summer winding down, pools are closing, temperatures are becoming more bearable, and vacationers are returning home.  Soon the leaves will start turning and there will be a smell of fall in the air.  This can mean only one thing. Back to school, bitches! I have a love/hate relationship with back to school time.   [...]

Seven Can Soup!

by Tena

on August 11, 2010 in EZPZ

I big puffy heart soup! It’s a comfort food that I’m a sucker for whether it’s cold or hot outside. As a kid, a can of chicken noodle soup or vegetable soup would make me all warm and fuzzy,  but as I’ve gotten older,  my palate has discovered how nasty canned soup is- like seriously- [...]

Obsession Is Not Just A Song By Animotion

by Tena

on August 10, 2010 in General

I go overboard.  It’s a character flaw. Some (like my shrink) might call it OCD. Sure, I insist that shampoo bottles be closed when I get in the shower. Throw pillows must face a certain way. Blue towels and white towels are NOT to touch.  I wipe down my baseboards twice a day.  The Wii [...]

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

by Tena

on July 26, 2010 in Community

When the Aiming Low birthday was upon us, we were each told to write a couple sentences about what it’s meant to be a part of Aiming Low.  As I began to draft it, I realized, being a part of this has meant more than a few sentences… Just over a year ago, I received [...]

Maybe I’m Just Bitter Since I’m Pretty Damn Sure I’m Pregnant

by Tena

on July 22, 2010 in Pop Culture

PLEASE, tell me you are watching “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant.”! Because I am.  With my swollen, painful National Geographic boobs, bloated belly, burning acid in my throat, a  fetus kicking the shit out of my bladder, a non- stop appetite, water retained ankles and hormonal tears every few hours flowing down my face- [...]

What’s in a Name?

by Tena

on July 13, 2010 in Parenting

There are two things in life that should be fun when you’re going through life-altering, vomit inducing changes.

Take moving, for example, I’d rather stick hot S’more sticks with scalding marshmallow residue in my eyes than move again. However, being able to decorate a new house gives me a high that closely rivals the Nitrous Oxide that my oral surgeon gave me.

Watch Out Dr. Google- There’s a New Dr. in Town

by Tena

on July 8, 2010 in Pop Culture

My new obsession is the worst thing to happen to hypochondriacs since WebMD – Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health Channel.

Not only have I diagnosed myself with Sjogren’s Syndrome and Hoshimoto’s Syndrome already, but, now, if a doctor tells me I don’t have them or that I am fine- this show has made me see that doctors don’t know shit and I am, indeed, dying of something.

Stretch Marks and Wrinkles Shouldn’t Mix

by Tena

on June 30, 2010 in Identity

I used to think I was strong, that I had a high threshold for pain and discomfort. That I could pretty much get through anything. Then I became pregnant at 37. Last time I was pregnant, I was 32.
