You know your blogging game is not strong when so much time passes between posts that you forget your password. Every. Single. Time. Oh well…such is life. I keep meaning to do a 2015 books post but somehow it just never happened. Shocker. Apparently I have more free time than anyone, ever because in addition […]
In Which I Try to Get Over My Video Phobia
If you know me in real life or have ever had the (dis)pleasure of hearing me speak, you know that I do NOT like public speaking…and that’s putting it mildly. And not only do I not like it; I suck at it. But in my quest to get over my phobia and hopefully improve over […]
You’ve Had The Old Bull; Now You Can Have The Young Calf
If you’ve never seen Step Brothers, a) you’re missing out and b) you won’t have any idea what the title of this post means. If that’s the case, obviously you need to go watch Step Brothers, right? Or at least this clip. Warning: if you’re easily offended by language, you might want to take a pass […]

So if you’re reading this and feeling like shit trying to slog through your own SAD abyss, you’ve come to the right place for […]

Instead of the usual SAD-induced sofa coma I find myself in this time of year, I have been savoring every humid minute of this unseasonably warm December and actually had all gifts not only purchased but WRAPPED a week and […]
White-Knuckle Christmas
I may be the only one who recommends this book as a great holiday read, but I think it is: Maxed Out: American Moms on the Brink (not an affiliate link because Amazon closed my affiliate account for reasons I’m too weary to investigate…not that I ever made so much as one cent from affiliate links […]
If Personal Blogging is Dead, Does That Mean You’re Not Really Reading This?
Apparently this is the year that personal blogging died, if you haven’t read/heard. Dooce allegedly quit blogging…although she’s actually still blogging. Andrew Sullivan quit blogging, revealing that he had no choice but to quit because it was literally killing him. Young House Love quit last year…but recently crept back after a year of silence, mostly, […]
That Time My Daughter Was Internet Famous for a Day
Rabbit Rabbit! Happy official start of the depressing slide into winter, my most hated season. At least the leaves are pretty…for about a week more until they all fall off and there are just blank trees and coldness for the next five months. Did I mention I hate winter? Anyway, at least the most meh […]
