Last weekend I watched Food Inc and solemnly swore to myself never to eat McDonalds again. Then I got my period and needed French fries from McDonalds more than I needed oxygen. I drove toward the gleaming arches in a hormonal fog, salivating at the thought [...]

I’ve taken an informal poll amongst my lady friends, as well as our very astute Aiming Low readers and according to them, these are the top 15 ways for men to make sure they don’t have to partake in the drudgery of sex anytime soon—or possibly ever again.
1. [...]

This year, my friend Lauren and I decided on a whim to put my Christmas lights up about 45 minutes before she needed to head to the airport to go home. While my husband played World of Warcraft and the kids napped, we dug around in various closets until we found several gnarly piles of icicle lights to add to the tricked out new LED lights and drunk penguin we bought at Target.

When we moved into this house, there were three of us and one was still in diapers. Buying an overpriced 2/1 in the city seemed like a perfectly NOT stupid idea. Well, another potty-trained kid later, I’m thinking it was the stupidest thing I EVER lobbied for in [...]

On my way back from therapy today I saw a woman at a bus stop and remembered going to lunch at my old job a few years back and seeing a woman in the Publix parking lot.

In fact I have one skill that I am so proud of and so confident in that I would challenge anyone of you to [...]

We had friends over a few weeks ago. For dinner. It was the first time we’d ever had them over for dinner. You see, we don’t socialize much. Mostly because we’re lazy. But also because my husband isn’t big on entertaining and making [...]

Alternate title: How not to pick up guys at Universal City Walk.
First of all, I’m obviously not actually looking to pick up guys.
But let me be straight with you. On rare occasions I’m able to leave the house in grownup clothes with grownup ladies and grownup [...]

I was actually getting some decent sleep Monday morning when I heard the baby cooing in his crib. He sounded content just chattering to himself so I went back to sleep, at least I tried. Two minutes later my husband came in with the baby and plopped him [...]
