The Valentines Cure

February 14, 2012

February 14th, the birth of cupid. Or love; or romance, or whatever the hell the story is. In case you’re one of the poor souls spending Valentines alone on the couch in front of the TV -ahem – fret not, dear friends; I’ve the fix. I stumbled upon this little gem while trying to work [...]

The voices in my head

February 10, 2012

I hate meeting people. I’ve said this before; but this, condition, if you will, has been exacerbated over the past year, namely since BD and I called it quits and I was subjected to working with new crews every week and awkwardly navigating the Top 5 get-to-know-you’s in the jumpseat. (How long have you been [...]

Elmo poops

January 25, 2012

Its true, mes amies. Our furry little friend with no discernible asshole does, in fact, drop the occasional deuce. It must be true, because I have in my possession a book that not only states it but shows a picture of the little red fella climbing onto his very own potty, belly full and round and obviously [...]

Meet Gabe

January 11, 2012

You know when you’re looking so forward to some quality, quiet alone time and the very moment you’re about to start reveling in it some tool comes along flapping their lips in your face and ruins it? Annoying, indeed. This annoyance is magnified for those who work in any kind of service/public industry, and particularly [...]

Sleepless in… not quite Seattle

January 2, 2012

I once went to this wedding where I did more hanging around the food bar than socializing, and happened to be right at the ready when they set out the coffee & tea bits; some suited fella set a plateful of Mighty Leaf teas right in front of me, and, knowing these lovelies go for [...]

The Visit

December 24, 2011

“Mommy! Santa.” “Mommy! Santa ho ho ho!” “Mommy! See Santa! Santa Caus!” You’ve guessed what’s coming. Off to see the fat man we went. Now, before I share this photo, I must plead my case. Dear friends, let me tell you, I loathe the mall. Hate it. Avoid it all costs. I also [...]

Skip Run Hide

December 20, 2011

Have you seen Four Christmases, dear friends? You must. The movie itself is good – Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, both adorable as usual but the premise of the movie is to what I’m referring; the idea of skipping Christmas. Absolutely brilliant. (Gasp) This, coming from the girl who prattles on about the lights & the [...]

The Waiting Game

December 14, 2011

Hello dawlings! Have you been on the edge of your seat, just dying to hear if I shat the bed yet? Well. I didn’t. (my mother breaths a sigh of relief) But – settle in. So I arrive at the place and am shown to my room where I drop trough and climb into the [...]

Update

December 12, 2011

Well! Look at all the thoughtful comments! Thank you, dear friends! I also received some texty texts from well meaners, suggested prunes and prune juice, and (for back) deep tissue massage. The update…. isn’t much of an update, sadly. On the bright side, there were two – ahem – ‘movements’, if you will, though they [...]
