I’m leaving for the airport in about 30 mins and I’m:
sad to be leaving my people because I have really good people; tired of being sad to be leaving my people; butterfly-ing just a little; envisioning my cab ride into the city; hoping that the two small bags, three medium suitcases, and one massive monster [...]
In the span of the last several months, I had lost some weight. The extra that had been affixed to my thighs, bottom, and tummy were gone as a result of the break-up diet. Best diet ever - btw.
In the span of the last several days, it is likely that the extra curviness has returned. [...]
So, the last six months have been monumental in this girl’s life. Monumental as in, CHANGE. Lots of change. Some cope by crying, some by stressing. Today, I was thinkin’…
I may have coped by letting a little of my hometown white trash rear its ugly head.
My White-Trash Confessions:
My driver’s side window has lost its powerful [...]
(Okay, a year and a week. I was unable to post last week due to technical difficulties.)
We adopted little Iris.
I love her.
I think I’d be considered a “late bloomer” for most of the adolescent-into-adulthood milestones in life.
Working with 8th graders either confirms this OR confirms that we’re all going to hell in a handbasket.

It seems kids are more mature these days. I don’t even flinch anymore when a student says “Um, it’s 2009!” [...]
Nature or Nurture? After being heavily influenced by her older male cousin, Tobey, Iris has started to simultaneously sqaut AND lift her leg while doing her number one business.
In a study of varied interactions between Iris and children, I have found that she is terrified of them. Anyone under a certain height will cause the [...]
In observance of the day that Caeser ignored, Jezebel created a list of things of which to be wary on this infamous day.
Though their list is pretty good, I think they may have missed a few things:
a dog eating your favorite pair of flip-flops JUST as you were thinking you might be able to actually [...]
Now, I don’t know how “safe” it is to have your dog nuzzle in your lap as you drive to and fro, but it sure it freakin’ adorable.
Taking pictures with your cell phone as your dog nuzzles in your lap may or may not be equally as unsafe. I’m 85% sure I was stopped when [...]
Hello.
Soooo, I was in DC over the long weekend, and I JUST HAVE to tell you about this great place we ate at in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
But, first.
Remember this guy?
If you were/are a Top Chef fan, then you are well-acquainted with Spike.
Hi, Spike.
Spike is the creator/owner of Good Stuff Eatery, a burger joint with [...]
I was just about to go to bed when…
I hear the remote fall off the couch, knocked off by my aforementioned puppy friend.
Remote falling = batteries falling out of remote which has no back = puppy friend eating batteries
So, puppy friend trots up to me with half of a AAA Energizer sticking out of her [...]
