  Dear Halloween Costume Inventor of the Land:   You are in big fat trouble, sir.   Seriously.  You are disgusting.   Things have gotten to the point where I liken the “adult” section of the Halloween Costume Catalogs to the Sports Illustrated...

  One thing that a lot of people assume about bloggers is that we are all very computerey.   I assure you, this is not the case.   I am good at buying stuff on the internet.  I can out-Google 9 out of 10 people.  And those pictures that leaked of so-and-so or...

  As my son gets older, I am starting to realize that I’m outnumbered.   I live with two boys.   TWO BOYS.   And they are gross.   Also, they don’t get me.  At all.   I’m always all making sure we have snuggly throw pillows and...

Seven years ago today, you entered the world.   Life had not always been easy for me.  It was full of struggle, and heartache, and tough lessons.  But on this day, seven years ago…everything clicked. I understood who I was supposed to be.   And when I looked at...

For most of my childhood, A Witch was my costume of choice on Halloween.   Boring, I know.  But it was safe, hard to mess up, and there were no grand expectations.  I mean…it is a witch.  As long as you’ve got a pointy hat and black clothing, you’re set....

My son’s favorite Disney character is not Winnie the Pooh. Or Lightning McQueen. Not even Buzz Lightyear. It is…Jack Skellington.  From The Nightmare Before Christmas. Two years ago, when Jon David was 4, we went to Disney World for our Summer vacation.  It was a...

  Yesterday started out just like any other day.   I woke my son up as annoyingly and obnoxiously as possible.  Blinking overhead light? Check.  Armpit tickle? Check Check.  Yank off his covers?  Don’t mind if I do.   I had a Pop Tart and Diet Coke for...

One thing I have learned about being a short female in society is that people are generally not very intimidated by me. Also, they call me “honey” and “sweetie” and nicknames like that a lot, which I really don’t mind so much. It makes me feel all...

  So today is the day where we talk about my baby Jon David starting first grade this morning and I cry and you give me lots of hugs and candy.   Or money. That would probably help a little.   For some crazy reason, I thought Kindergarten would be the worst.  ...

  Sometimes I really wish I could meet the person who decides what is and isn’t acceptable to talk about to people you barely know. Because for real, a few changes need to be made. Like how is it NOT okay for me to tell someone that their clothes smell like cat pee or...

  One of my biggest pet peeves in life is indecisiveness. Of course, I’m not claiming to be perfect. I’m scared of everything, I prefer robots to human company, and I’m one of those people who orders a Diet Coke with their Big Mac. (Helloooo, I’ve got...

As you may remember, I posted a milkshake recipe on my blog last week. And I sort of had an epiphany. Because really, my blender is probably the least used appliance in my kitchen. (Except for sometimes when I make drinks. With stuff that rhymes with Shrum and Modka) Anyways,...

I don’t know if anyone’s ever told you, but I’m practically a world famous inventor. I’m pretty much the Benjamin Franklin of our time, except I’m a girl, and sparkly, and plus I don’t wear those awful tiny glasses or knee socks or have a bunch...
