So do you remember when you had friends? Come on you remember–they’re the people who quit calling when you had children. I’m not blaming them, god knows I quit hanging out with a lot of people I liked once they had nothing left to talk about other than what brand of ass wipes they [...]
In my search for the perfect leggings, I stumbled upon the “suck you in” kind of leggings. Or more appropriately, “shaping” leggings. And I decided that they were perfect. Because one of the things I was worried about with my much loved outfit was that I wasn’t thin enough. But shaping leggings would make me thin [...]
I haven’t slept in two weeks. I’m a little crazy. Not as crazy as when I posted my nudes, but close. It’s 9 p.m. I commence my trying-to-go-to-sleep rituals which include: a hot bath; sipping Ovaltine like an elderly, celibate cat rescue lady; and/or reading something way over my head, like Anna Karenina, Dante’s Inferno, the [...]
Have your dogs reflected different stages of your life?
Before I was lucky enough to have children (SHUT UP) I thought I knew it all. I saw how my parents and other relatives parented and thought, “I’ve got this.” I also had lists of things I’d never, EVER do when I was a parent. How completely stupid naive I was. Look, I was a [...]
So, it’s almost Memorial Day, which basically means it’s summer. Know how I know? I just got my WHITE DENIM SHORTS out of their hibernation spot in my plastic underbed storage rectangle, which is like a hyperbaric chamber for bad ideas (also in there: a cashmere halter top and a jersey romper). Don’t get me [...]
I don’t care how well you think you know the person you are married to/in love with/living in sin with, the day will come when you look at that person and think…Who is this freak?! I’ve been with my significant other for over a decade and I’m used to him and his ways. For the [...]
I don’t go out to the movies often. If I am lucky enough to secure a sitter, movie-going is about #18 on my list of things I would rather do without children. It is sandwiched between showing up stag to a pap smear and attending an obligatory baby shower. I can count on my fingers [...]
In the blog world there’s a mission to always be interesting. Thought-provoking. Creative. But I think people forget that “creative” is a trait you can strive to bring into your everyday world. Whether you’re photographing nature, painting a masterpiece, or finding a new use for cheese with dinner. Make your efforts creative. Make your results [...]
Is your womb in its geriatric phase? Fear not. There’s always a silver lining….
Spring is here. The sun is coming out and the winter coats are being put away. Your BFF is asking you to come along on a spring time shopping spree because when temperatures get higher, shirt sleeves and pants legs get shorter. Being the awesome friend that you are, you go with her to the [...]
Food. I haz obsession. I pretty much think about food ALL DAY LONG and when I’m eating one meal I’m already thinking about the next. Fortunately, I have the awesomest genes on the planet because I manage to stay in good shape and health. But I often eat like crap. For example, my favorite food? [...]
