An Aside...

Since then, if you have had any interaction on any form of social media, you have seen a virtual cluster fuck of outcry at this decision, and a mountain of furious opinions coming in from both sides.

And now, I’m going to elaborate on mine…kinda.

My 2011 TED Talk

November 20, 2011

It’s finally here, my 2011 TED Talk. I haven’t watched it, because in my head, everything about it felt perfect. It’s been almost 4 months, I feel the exact same level of confidence now as I did then.  To this day, it is still the most raw, honest, surreal and life changing moment of my [...]

Breaking Dawn, Duh.

November 16, 2011

Perfecting my Bella Swan costume and lip bite. All that’s missing is being spontaneously impregnated with a hybrid vampire baby who will eat her way out of my uterus before I stick her with the worst name ever.  Next to Kryslyn. (sorry girl in my kid’s class.) 2 days.

Sickness isn’t an excuse. It’s an alibi.

November 14, 2011

If a mom coughs uncontrolably in a steamy hot shower on a Sunday afternoon, and no one was there to hear it, did it really happen? Trick question. Mom’s don’t get to take steamy hot showers alone, and the pee running down her leg is a dead giveaway. I’ve decided the whole, being a mom is a [...]

The Divorce.

November 11, 2011

This weird thing happens when you get married. You get a sudden desire to accumulate couples friends. As in, friends that are couples.  So you can all do things collectively.  And talk about couples things. Like…tax exemptions and the perks of having a joint Facebook account, while we each uncomfortably make out and use pet [...]

Two Butts.

November 8, 2011

Being broke and in college sucked.  No car, little free time, massive expenses. I once took a job with a environmental lobbying firm looking for students to get involved.  I was super excited. I showed up in my Birkenstocks with my hemp bag, looking all politically turmoiled, and even considered putting a hoop in my nose.  But, [...]

Way to Go, Bruce Jenner.

November 2, 2011

Ok so, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce after 72 super hard days of marriage, and a two part wedding special on E!, or as I like to call it, the Ryan Seacrest is Ruining Humanity Channel, that netted her a rumored 17 million dollars. Well, this makes sense. Gay people can’t get married in the [...]

Haunted.

October 31, 2011

I grew up in the middle of the woods, also known as, the place where everyone fucking dies in every scary movie, ever. So, I never watched them. In fact, up until college, I had only seen one scary movie my whole entire life.  April Fools Day. And then, Andy tried to convince me to face [...]

Tales from the Road Part 2: I’m broke.

October 26, 2011

When Andy came back from Korea, he had 80,000 won  in his pocket. Which sounds like a lot, but it really it’s only, like $70. Wouldn’t it be awesome if Disney World money was like Korea money? I don’t know what it is. You go there with every rational thought and plan in the world. [...]

Tales from the Road Part 1

October 24, 2011

Curse you fear of flight. I don’t know why, in my head, I envision road trips going better than they actually do. I mean, I know my kids are technophiles and they wouldn’t how to sing in a round if it punched them in the face, but really with the constant need for stimulation, already? The [...]

On the road, again.

October 21, 2011

So tomorrow, we are driving to Florida.  Again. I know. Like Lindsay Lohan, I just never learn. But, we need to get away.  Like, Andy and I just look at each other with a face that says, “I need to fucking leave this place before everyone dies in a bathtub.” So, we decided to change [...]
