My husband bought me a new lawn mower today and somehow this made me happy. It is shiny and red and I am thinking of buying flame stickers for it. My neighbor in kindergarten will be so jealous. * * * When I was 18 years old and a freshman in college I called one [...]
They Should Also Get Off of My Lawn
August 22, 2011
I am not going to call her out by name, but I was having a conversation with a person who I am close to that just so happens to be about 10 years younger than I am. I was asking if she thought I should wear pantyhose under my floor length bridesmaid dress. She said [...]
My New Facebook Friend, Chs Ninetyone

The year I graduated from high school. Oh. Not Chs. C.H.S. Holy crap. They must be preparing for my [...]

On 36

I am going to be 36 years old in December. It doesn’t really bother me too much. I feel like I am in a very good place for my age. I have two children, a wonderful husband, a nice house, several jobs that I enjoy and good friends. Things are going well for me. Here [...]

Can anybody read the bottom line on the eye doctor’s little chart or is it just some sort of hilarious inside joke for Ophthalmologists?
Close but No Cigar
September 19, 2008
We TiVO 120 Minutes on VH-1 Classic. (1. Shut up. You’re not cool either. You know you have embarrassing season passes on your DVR too and 2) VH1 Classic, ugh. I’m so old.) The first couple episodes of 120 Minutes we watched were all about Morrissey and Siouxsie & the Banshees and a lot of [...]
