Recently I had a dream, that in retrospect, seems almost too scripted to be genuine. But I had it nonetheless. I was in my AP English Classroom from my senior year of high school. My old teacher, Mr. Wymbs, a very Dead Poet’s Society type, was in the center of the class. I was sitting …

Does anyone know where I can find one of those cute little helpers that Satan seems to send round this time of year? You know, the ones that tend to wear green uniforms and carry messenger bags full of the best calories ever? I COULD USE A DAMN SAMOA. Don’t you like how they wait …

Though it may come as a shock, I am a very deliberate and conscious shopper. I’d rather live in a couchless chairless apartment than in an apartment with couches and chairs I do not love. A reality that was hard for Eric to accept when we first moved in together. The boy just wanted a …

She disappears into thin air! And then POOF! Is back in your lives like she never vanished. Let me tell you what happened last week. I had Monday off of work. BONUS. Then, I came to work on Tuesday, graced them with my presence again on Wednesday, and then on Thursday I went and talked …

Don’t get me wrong. I like being me. Yes, I know I’m loud. (My coworker just said, “Oh don’t let the ‘loud girl’ [yours truly] near the sleeping baby!”) But even though my “voice carries,” I still think I’m pretty fun. True, unlike my genius husband I’m not a phenom at anything, but at least …

Oops I did it again. I just bought the new Brittney Spears CD “Circus.” I didn’t even want it I swear. It’s just habit now. But now that I do have it… BEST WEEKEND EVER. LOVE YOU, DON’T JUDGE ME.

You guys! It was sooo hard to choose the winner! I thought I could do it based on comments alone, but I couldn’t! So Sprinkles and I decided it was best to choose the winner randomly! We did, and Sprinkles is very excited to go to his new home. And the winner is… LIZ!!! The …
