My brother has left, his vacation with me is over, and I am bereft. But it’s probably a good thing that he left or I may be dead. Allow me to explain. As you all know, my brother lives in Alaska and scenery is king there. A trip to visit me in Washington state means…

Good thing he’s a chef…
Apparently I need to work on my time management. I haven’t posted a new blog in two weeks, but it’s not all my fault. My baby brother decided to pop in for a visit since we haven’t seen each other in almost seven years. Since I only had one day’s notice of his arrival, things…

What kind of “kid” are you…
A true fat kid has experienced all 10 of these things. A chubby kid scores a 5 out of 10. A skinny kid will deny even knowing what cake is. Decide whether each statement is true or false for your lifestyle – then count up the number of true answers and vote in the poll…
Read MoreI am not explaining another accident to my doctor…
I think I may have broken my index finger. I was trying to adjust my kitchen aid bowl the other day and I foolishly opted to ignore the instruction to “unplug the unit.” And you can guess what happened next. As my hand slid on the machine, it knocked the lever and turned the mixer…

Note: I wrote about this problem two and a half years ago. The foam is already soft again. Where’s my fucking rock?!!!! So I have this fabulous couch that is amazing except for the fact that I am already griping that I need foam cushion replacements to sit on and it is less than three…

I can read lips…and words…and lips…
Last night I decided to indulge in a marathon of the Fast and Furious franchise. I was bored and had a ton of time on my hands. Thanks to the world’s insatiable desire to watch cars recklessly fly around roads, there were plenty of movies in the franchise to fill up my time. Because I…

She won a battle, but there’s still a war…
Lola has been tad bit annoyed with me lately. She doesn’t know where the Daddybeast went and she hates to sleep without snuggles. Snuggling with me is out of the question, I’m a flipper and kicker. Anyone near me is probably going to lose an eye. Last night, our argument over which one of us is…

That took a rather ugly turn…

So if you are not following us on Instagram, you’re just missing out aren’t you?! Fret not, if you’re not on Instagram,…
