Thank you for letting me squeeze your blackheads when I’m in a bad mood. Thank you for letting me paint our dining [...]

FYI: People who don’t need to read this blog: prudes, my pastor, the makers of the rabbit, & my father. Please escort yourselves out of this post. I’m really into a kick with lyrics as title posts, no? I should probably remedy that before it gets out of hand. On another note, it’s going to [...]

Scandalous! But you know, the licking was okay. Because we were married & even if you’re Baptist, [...]

In case you missed this over at Look at the Birds yesterday! (she’s one of my favorites on my reader, so she should be on yours too!) I give you a courtship with morning breath ______________________________ I met Nate in January 2002 in a Feminist Rhetoric Class. Yeah. You read that correctly. But it was [...]

Let’s put this bluntly – having a baby is like watching Britney Spears shave her head with crazy eyes & then ram an umbrella into an SUV at a gas station. Remember how you felt? Helpless, humored, confused, & shocked with a massive dose of “WTF IS GOING ON HERE, PEOPLE?!?!” yeah. That’s what happens [...]
