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

Do Dogs Reflect Their Owners? If So, I’m Screwed

We've all chuckled at that strawberry blond lady walking her Golden Retriever, and we've probably remarked on how so-and-so's hyperactive Chihuahua is like a miniature version of her flibbertigibbet owner. There has even been actual research that shows that people with certain personality traits tend to end up with certain breeds. There are also plenty of people who maintain that, not only do people get dogs that they are compatible with, but that the owner's personality actually rubs off on the dog. These are generally people who have cool dogs. I've only had three dogs so far in my life. … Read More

11 Things I Swore I’d Never Do as a Parent

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 cocky twenty-something. I mean, my future kids would NEVER misbehave and they'd certainly NEVER do _____ (insert completely out-of-touch-with-reality parenting thing here). I had PLANS, PEOPLE. I read books! From parenting experts and stuff! I wasn't going to mess this up. Ha. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Naturally, I have … Read More
