Soccer moms, am I right? They are just the worst! According to pop culture that is; "Soccer Mom" appears to be right up there with mole people in the amount of disgust that is felt for this hideous breed of human. Being the self-aware kind of person I am, I guess I'd better start with…
My Favorite Things About Summer (That Actually Kind Of Suck)
Summer is my favorite season of the year! Just the thought of Summer conjures images of pool parties, backyard barbecues, warm summer evenings with fireflies majestically glowing- it's just the best! Until it's not. Every year I romanticize the idea of summertime, especially as I'm miserably holed up in my home on a dreary, cold February…
Do You Believe in Ghosts? A Haunting Tale From My Own Childhood
When it comes to the supernatural, I'm generally a skeptic. I think psychics are charlatans and con artists (although Thomas John makes me wonder sometimes....). I don't believe anyone can actually see my aura, I don't deck myself out in magic crystals, and I don't subscribe to any particular religion. I'm a science girl- Bill…
My Love/Hate Relationship With The Bachelor
Confession time: I'm a a fully fledged member of "Bachelor Nation". I watch 'em all- The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and where the hell did Bachelor Pad go? I really liked that one most of all. They all screwed each other- literally and figuratively- for money, and it was reality T.V. gold. Anyway, it's…
Hey, Television! Can You Learn To Keep Your Big Mouth Shut?
Television shows talk about everything these days, and for the most part I'm pretty cool with that. The days of extreme censorship appear to be in the past, which is fine, I think- the censors used to go way too far. Did you know that when Joan Rivers was pregnant with her daughter back…
The Basic Bitch Strikes Again (And This Time, I’m Sorry!)
Dear Faithful Blog Readers, I suck. I'm a flake. I abandoned you for too long, and I'm so sorry. Life got super busy the last couple of months and, on top of being the most basic of bitches, I'm also an Aries. Which means I love starting projects and then, as soon as my attention…
When Gender Reveal Parties Go Horribly Wrong
If you have friends of childbearing age (or have ever been on Pinterest for even 5 minutes), you have probably heard of a new trend called Gender Reveal Parties. These parties are sort of like a baby shower, but the purpose of these parties are usually a grand gesture to reveal the gender of your…
My Foray Into Self-Inflicted Torture: The Brazilian Wax
It's no secret that women do strange things in the name of beauty, and I'm no exception. But I think the craziest has to be exercise in madness that I got myself into today.... I'm about to leave for a family vacation; a Disney Cruise. (Shout out to Disney, they are best cruise line…
5 Types of Buyers You Meet While Selling Girl Scout Cookies
It's that time again- Girl Scout Cookie Season! My daughter is a Brownie and trust me, cookie season is a big deal. It's like a 5 week Super Bowl for Girl Scouts, it's insane. But it's awesome, too, and the girls get very excited to sell. This is the big money maker for the troops.…
Gluten Free Find!
Since being diagnosed with gluten issues, I've tried several brands in an attempt to find a bread that I like. A few in the beginning were complete fails- either the consistency of the bread was strange and almost gritty, or the "feel" of the bread was doable, but the taste was off. A relative turned…
