HAPPY FRIDAY February 17, 2012

Love, Nugg

I can never have children February 1, 2012

No, that is not a confession of my barren-ness, but a wise decision if you all know what’s good for you and my blood pressure. The short version: I got a bouncing baby Nugget (his name) who was very ill, who almost died, who they wanted to euthanize, who I needed to raise a few [...]

Things My Boyfriend Says September 22, 2011

The purpose of this (hopefully repeating) post is not to embarrass my unbelievably sweet and always good-intentioned boyfriend. It’s because sometimes he shares little gems with me that are just too good to not share with the general population. I would be  a grave injustice to keep these from you. Sorry dear…   Him: it’s [...]

Stretch Pants Sundays, the new Sunday Funday September 14, 2011

Spandex is a beautiful thing.  There are few things in this world as comforting as a pair of stretch pants to help kick off Sunday Funday. They’re perfect medium between full on pajama bottoms and real people clothes. They also don’t press too hard against a belly full of digesting 12-hour-old street meat and half [...]

This holiday seems seriously effed up, ya’ll May 29, 2011

Memorial Day used to be one of my favorite holidays–like The 4th of July’s younger sibling. Both involve Americana, grilling out, patriotic music, friends, family and potato salad. And beer. Nothing says ‘murica like beer. But this is the first Memorial Day since my brother got home from Afghanistan, and forgive me for being Debbie [...]

The Cat’s Pajamas May 15, 2011

Being the supremely critical connoisseur I am, finding things that I think are worth a)the money and b)telling others about is a rarity. So know that the below should pretty much hold as much weight as Oprah’s Favorite Things. Except that I am not an embarrassingly wealthy, unimaginably powerful, sassy black woman…yet. 1. L’Occitane bar [...]

Please don’t mistake these tears as evidence of a soul May 15, 2011

PREFACE: I wrote this a few weeks ago. My uber-lethargic self only got around to posting it now. Sorry Charlies. Wedding always catch me off guard. The general rule is that they affect me about as much as half caff coffee—I don’t feel a damn thing. But throw in some royalty and that sweet angel [...]

Resolution Shmezolution January 6, 2011

For 2011 I’ve decided my only resolution is to have fun. Yah, that’s all. Just have fun. When I’m not having fun, I’ll focus on having fun. And when I am having fun, I’ll try to have even more fun that I’m already having. Less thinking, more fun. I win. Which leads me to believe [...]
