By Default Friends

  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 use on their kids. I don’t blame them. I do, however, miss them, and I hope that their phone numbers stay the same for another 13 years. Just as soon as I ship my own precious-sunshine-sweet-heart-baby doll-social life-suffocating child off to college, I can meet them out at the bar for the Guided … Read More

How to Squeeze into Shapewear. Or Not.

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 enough. And in an effort to get free shipping, I also ordered a suck you in shapewear top.   I decided to wear the top to work today.  And such, the comedy of errors began.  I could not figure out how to get the shirt on my body.  It has this "slimming liner" … Read More

While You Weren’t Sleeping: An Insomniac’s Diary

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 Bible (retaining only "Jesus wept.") It's 11 p.m. I clamber into bed with Henry. His head is buried under two pillows, one arm flung protectively over the entire mass so it can't be dislodged thus keeping any sound, such as my voice, from entering. Henry … Read More

You Might Be At A Gay Fundraiser If…

Maybe you don't get out much and a friend invites you to an event and you immediately scream "YES I'LL GO!" because you haven't left the house since you had that weird growth on your foot removed/your baby was born/your mother-in-law came to visit and you are just a tiny bit desperate to go out into the world where there might be adult beverages and food and some form of entertainment other than Netflix. The night of the event arrives and you get dressed up and head out with your friend and, when you arrive, you finally stop to wonder exactly what type of event you are attending. Well, … Read More
