Tidbits from a Mom Weekend

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

My mom came to visit over the weekend, which is typically a delightful girly time wherein we do fancy things like get mango margaritas down the street, go for long walks, and make a fun dinner or two that enables me to bust out my cheese platter and cheese knives, colander, and spice rack. BUT, [...]

Little Faces and Their Plight

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

I love dogs. They’re sweethearts with their sweet little faces and their little paws and noses and waggedy tails. I love how they each have their own personality and quirks and how they look at you and just want you to give them attention and love. To me, they are Little Faces. But, I don’t [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #26: Compiled Miscellany of Snark

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I hate a lot of things. Besides the obvious things like Speidi, sex offenders, and people who do bad things to children, puppies and/or trees; I hate lots of random things too. So for lack of a more productive use of this Toolbag Wednesday, I’ve compiled a list for you, which also makes this the [...]

Please Don’t Pull a Geena, Tina

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

When I was in 6th grade, my English class and I received a writing assignment to author a “fan letter” to a celebrity of our choosing. I happened to choose Geena Davis (whatever happened to her anyway?) because I’d just seen A League of Their Own and even though I really fucking hate baseball (including [...]

You’re likely to have seen them before (and given their nature, embedding is unfortunately disabled), but as they say, sharing is caring! So [...]

Popcorn

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Someone (that would be my boyfriend) devoted a few hours to the Top Chef marathon leading up to last night’s finale… What I have made for you tonight is a play on Depression-era cuisine d’poor. I bathed some Iowa corn with small waves of heat…a “micro-wave” if you will…resulting in a light and clean floret [...]

Pre-Season’s Greetings

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I got my first Christmas card…. After dinner one night last week, my boyfriend and I popped into the Walgreen’s. While he hunted down shaving cream, garbage bags, and Zone bars, I wandered into the Christmas aisle and it was….mag-fucking-nificent. Seriously, you people at Walgreen’s- nicely done. Overwrought and sparkly and garish, it was just [...]
