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, [...]

Lost Friend Report: Last Seen As Bride At Wedding

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Recently, my boyfriend and I decided (well, he kind of just came along because he’s good like that) to visit Mara and her husband. We planned to stay for one night, after which we couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. As he accurately and cleverly put it, he felt as though we [...]

Forget Shark Week, THIS is Far Scarier

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

According to every other commercial on the Discovery Channel, it’s Shark Week ’09. I’m sorry, but my fear of the ocean aside, the sharks have nothing on my latest adventure and it happened on land.

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 [...]

And Really, Who Doesn't Like Hores?

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

My mom sent this to me today from another teacher, begging everyone to remind their kids about the importance of proper spelling. Incidentally, also how important teachers are (they just gave pink slips to half the staff at her school and cut everyone’s pay).

Message in a Bottle

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Today is your birthday. You were never mine, and I was never more to you than your dad’s on-again/ off-again girlfriend, but I will always remember this day as yours. And I’ll always remember the day we took you to see where you were born, where you first lived as a baby, and the year [...]
