America’s “Future”….STD Repositories

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So there I am, driving along in my boyfriend’s car (which he is so kind as to lend me whenever I choose to drive rather than take the train to work), smiling at all of the Little Faces out for their morning walks, singing along to Lady Gaga (Teeth), you know, generally minding my own [...]

Baby Shower Bamboozling

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Can someone please explain to me what the hell a “Couples Shower” is? Because I just don’t even know anymore.
My friend Mara, the same one who got married in all kinds of annoying ways, who went AWOL after ascending to the state of wifedom, and who is now in the family way; has sent me a [...]

Preggers Scare ‘09

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I mostly blame that show, “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.” Have you seen it? Who am I kidding, of course you have. That thing is like a freaking car crash. You don’t want to watch it, but you do with that perma-frown of disgust on your face. In fact, if you’re anything like me, [...]

After [...]

I'll Give You A Cupcake to Avoid "Friending" Your Ultra-Sound

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Can we talk about something?
So you know how I’ve gotten sucked into FB (yes, I just admitted that again. I also acronymed it. What’s more, “acronymed” isn’t even a word so I’m two for two), well I’ve been witnessing the most….distressing?…trend among some friends of friends (i.e. people I know from high school but whom [...]
