I am hungover from pie.
Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy massive amounts of pumpkin in three different locations (including a piece of my pumpkin cake creation for breakfast and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice in my coffee) and even a huge piece of Patterson’s cherry pie (oh my God, yum!). As holidays normally progress, [...]
This horoscope courtesy of Daily Bedpost cracked my shit up today:
taurus (Apr. 21st-May 20th)
It’s a good thing a bunch of family holidays are coming up, because you need some kind of speed bump on your highway of sin. And what better to keep your mind off of cheap and easy sex than a visit with [...]
long and rambly. bear with me.
Words really cannot express enough the amazing emotions that I feel at this moment.
I came into early election season as an undecided. Trying to figure who was the perfect candidate aligned with what was important to me. Or if anything was even truly important. Eight years ago [...]
The Modern Gal has a plan: to make sure October does not create the emotional stress cracks that Suck-tember did. Thus, Rocktoberfest was created. I plan to stick my middle finger up to the shit (hopefully, none) that tries to negatively impact my life in October. And I’m making a plan to get my shit [...]
I love tolerate the MSN Lifestyle random lists and stories produced for single-somethings. Today’s feature is 25 Fascinating Love Facts.
(Oh crap, is freakin Sweetest Day coming up? Puke).
OK, this one kind of resonates:
17. People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin — as low as levels seen in people with [...]
While you were all trying to figure out forearm vs. leg (it’s forearm), or believing that only women could be shit-talkers (grown men can act like gossip girls too), I am preparing for the return of “HIMYM” and “Big Bang Theory.” I need myself a brilliant geek, me thinks. And perhaps a Whopper with cheese.
I [...]
Day 14: still no nicotine. Gum chewing (Orbit, not some nicorette crap) has also subsided dramatically.
I’m sure you can all guess the status of my penis.
I’m sure many are at a loss of words today. While I haven’t particularly cared for many of Connie Schultz’s columns over the years, her editorial today was perfect and touching. If we can learn something (but only one of many, many fantastic qualities) from Stephanie Tubbs Jones as a woman, it should be to [...]
808 is my favorite number. Not just 8, but 808. And I know you’re not supposed to start a sentence with numerics, but I was looking for impact. I haven’t figured yet it to be a bad or good omen. I do know, I’m superstitious enough that if that combination of numbers showed in [...]
I’m a little sad today. I’ve already felt considerably distant from my sisters, in both miles and that whole “life” stuff getting in the way of visits and lengthy phone calls. Urick Sister #2 that taught for the past year in the Dominican Republic is now moving to Phoenix to be with Sister #3 that [...]
Finally, last night I was able to dig into some of my new magazine subscriptions (last issue for Glamour, sorry publisher, but you just don’t mesh well with me anymore) before “Swingtown” began. Inside my Marie Claire was the holy-hell funniest thing I have ever read (well, besides David Sedaris, of course): Learning to Live [...]
Thanks to Modern Girl for her posting of this column in the New York Times.
A few passages of advice from the 79-year-old Catholic priest that stuck out for me:
A therapist friend insists that ‘more marriages are killed by silence than by violence.’ The strong, silent type can be charming but ultimately destructive. That world-class misogynist, [...]
I have a new hero in Dara Torres. If you’re unfamiliar with Olympic swimming, she just set the American record time for the 50-meter freestyle — and she’s 41-years-old! Not to mention, she took “time off” to have a child AND has one of the most incredible 40-year-old female bodies I have ever seen. Seriously.
I [...]
Alexa from Cleveland’s a Plum has a guest writing entry over at Stylish Handwriting about what is on a blogger’s refridgerator.
Here’s the freezer door: (and say hello to Poncho!)
Let’s start from the sunflower magnet (sent from my friend Lori who knows I love sunflowers). That magnet is holding up my list of 43 Cleveland+ as [...]
Unfortunately, I did lose a friend and co-worker to skin cancer a few years ago. Within six months of being diagnosed, she was dead — in her young 20s too. It is pitiful it took me this long to realize I NEEDED to have a skin screening (hello, former tanorexic), especially having so many freckles [...]
Well, I can’t think of a better way to stay warm!
This has been a seriously awful set of four weeks filled with stressful situations. In the grand scheme of “life,” I suppose if I self-prophesied enough, it could be worse, right? I’m trying my best to be strong and resilient, but seriously… why am I being so tested?
I had another birthday. Yeah, 31!
My favorite “cool” [...]
It has been far too long since I have motivated you, dear Internets.
Here are a few things that are helping me get through learning CSS, WordPress, FTP-ing and what-the-hell-is-Twitter?:
Esteban is trying to recharge the “Good Guys” with: ANYTHING remixed by Kleerup, ”I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry, “I Love to Move in Here (Crookers [...]
Sometimes saying the wrong thing is better than saying nothing at all. (Certainly making me laugh is better than me feeling ignored). And sometimes the action of a small hug means something bigger than you can ever imagine.
I tolerated the thought process for this post while en route to the woman's restroom (and scratched [...]
Residents of California: YEEEEEAAAAH!!!!!
Winner of America's Next Top Model: WOOHOO!
Oil control lotion that actually WORKS on Mel's face: Holy hell, and I need another $80 to add to the collection.
