Tonight I am having an adult sleepover. It was very weird to write adult and sleepover in the same sentence. And let’s get our heads out of the sewers and keep it rated G people!! We will be pigging out on junk food, watching scary movies that have sharks in it, and then attempting to sleep…

Yesterday I sat down and started actively putting my thoughts together into a book. I’m officially three pages in and I am exhausted. I’m pretty sure that none of the three pages are actually about what I want my book to be about. There’s a small possibility that I just let every thought in my…

Yesterday was my official one year anniversary of this blog. When I started my blog I had some pretty lofty goals. I wanted people to use the word shank in everyday life. I hoped people would love Twinkies more. And Lola wanted to show the world her crazy. I hit all those goals!! I even…

And she is currently kicking the shit out of my fat kid side. On Saturday I was laid low with the plague of all fat kids. Vomit. Now, any true fat kid will tell you that vomiting is the worst, absolute worst, thing that can happen to you, in your life. Food is our friend. How dare…

Shoes went in the trunk of the Barbie Cadillac. Hair accessories went in their little yellow organizer. Life was good. Now I am sharing something with…

The day started off normal enough. I played my farm game on my iPad before daycare. Checked my Facebook. Read a few tweets. Sent off some iMessages. It was business as usual. Within 3 hours I noticed that iMessage was completely down. I couldn’t send, couldn’t receive, there were red exclamation points all over. Never one to…

Last night I struggled to fall asleep. It was after midnight and I knew that my clock was going to go off at 0500. My brain was doing the “if you fall asleep right now you’ll get (blank) hours of sleep” deal that all brains do to stay awake and torture your body. Stupid brain.…

A reader recently commented on my last post about Amazon Prime. The post where I admitted to buying a year’s worth of Skittles. Because I could.
