So, moving sucks. And I haven’t even done anything yet. But just thinking about it stinks. Speaking of, I can’t get over the fact that I’m moving into someone else’s space that has (1) Their hair in the drains (2) Their poo ethers in the toilet (3) Their skin cells in the carpet.…Continue Reading

I’ve Said It Before and I’ll Say it Again
Why haven’t bathing suit designers realized that if they’d only lobby against the sale and manufacture of florescent lighting, they’d sell a hell of a lot more bathing suits? There should be lobbyists on Capitol Hill. Yea, I see it now: shade-walking flabby 30-somethings, sweaters tied around their waists, who never use public restrooms.…Continue Reading
Last Night, And I Can’t Write Anymore
Saturday night was a total fluke, because originally I was to join Jenn at FOUND, but The Rock cast his Father’s Day vote to listen to some music and spend some couples time (poetic license on that last part), and so off we went to a complete dive lounge in horse country where his cousin…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #61: Imagine That
I’m scared to fly. Best of all and super exciting is that I get to do it next month for my brother’s wedding. In New York. (Can’t you people get married where there’s easier ground transportation? And in a city of closer proximity not necessitating air travel?) For God’s sake. At any rate,…Continue Reading
Note to Dirty Self
If you are asked to showcase your cheap, used thriftwear on another website, shower first. That’s all I got.
Just Do It For Him
How come you people never tell me to just shut up? Why do I need to go to my dad for that service? Because when I called him yesterday, all crestfallen and lame about moving to the suburbs, you know what he said? He said I was a Drama Queen. A Drama Queen!…Continue Reading
123 WHATHEHELLAREWEDOING Lane
The suburban Chicago house where I lived for 8 years, so I should just shut up. *********************************************************************************** Dudes. Oh, dudes. It’s pretty official. We’re moving to the ‘burbs. I know I say this like I’m some elitist hipster who can’t deign herself to live in two-story houses next to…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #60: Lie to Me
We got a meme this week, folks. And I’m going with it because the topic intrigues me and I love to lie for sport. So by way of Green Girl, this meme/PROMPT is as follows: “Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you, or from the things they…Continue Reading
Go For It, You’re Not a F*ck-Up
I saw two movies this week I want to tell you about because they’re the type of movies that will strike a chord if you’ve ever: 1) Waited to take a risk, then took it and were so so glad you did. 2) Felt like life has passed you by. 3) Worried that when…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #59: Decisions, Decisions
The Rock and I are in the process of making some major decisions on our future. Really BIG decisions. Ones that can change lives. Alter the trajectory of our existence even. We might move to the suburbs. I know. But this is good, right? Costco proximity? Cul de sacs? Girl scouts? Crazy…Continue Reading
Hard Ass is Us
I went to an event recently, and the party was altruistic because it raised money for women in Kenya through $14 martinis, but the venue blew. Not because it wasn’t gorgeous, it was: all rooftop deck and blue pool and cabanas and crimson lounge cushions. But because the staff apparently took too seriously their employee…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #58: We All Need One
We’ve got all kinds of friends, haven’t we? The serious ones, the anal ones, the silly ones, the lost ones, the distant ones, the ironclad ones. Today, let’s write about the fun ones. Do you have a friend who makes you laugh and is a guaranteed good time? Write about this friend. Tell…Continue Reading
