Recently, we had a completely new experience. My kids and I (I can’t really blame my husband, because he was collecting our drinks at the time) managed to drive another family right out of Starbucks. I noticed them when we arrived: two kids, a little older than ours. One of them, an angelic curly blonde,…

Apathy For The Devil
I don’t like to consider myself an apathetic person. I mean, who wants to be all, “What up, Bitches? I’m LAZY.” Not me. That’s who. But in the process of hosting my very first party in five years, I realized something–I’ve gotten disgustingly apathetic. The old me is shaking her head right now as the…
Strength of the Stallion
My wife wants me to take supplements because apparently I’m not quite the stallion I once was.
From Zero to Addict in 24 Hours
My friend and personal trainer is one of those people that plays Scrabble on her phone all of the time. Yesterday, I finally made the mistake. I asked her who she plays against.

Heating and cooling your home efficiently can be a PITA. I just suck at remembering to do it, OK? Right now I am on the waiting list to receive a new product called Nest–it’s the smartest thermostat you’ll ever own. And at $250, it’s actually not *that* crazily priced compare to its competitors (WiFi enabled…
How To Win Your Super Bowl Pool
This is where I admit I am not the biggest sports fan. I mean, I like sports. I like watching sports. I just don’t have time to watch sports. In fact, I realized last night I hadn’t had the actual clicker (remote control for those of you not good at vocab) in my hand for…
Adult Game Night Survival Guide
I don’t like most games. Not the “two-faced stab you in the back” kind or the emotional blackmail bullshit most people universally dislike. Literally the games of chance and skill conjured up by Milton Bradley and his competitors annoy me because I really hate to lose. It seems I get suckered into playing all the…
