The Worst Mother in the Universe and her evil screaming child have vacated the building after only four months. I don’t care to know why they’re breaking their lease so early. I’d like to think that my loud music, feet stomping and, “SHUT UPS!” ran them out. All I know is that there is nothing like the silence of a child-free house. I’m just disappointed I didn’t...

I am slightly buzzed from wine this evening and have been cruising the Net while watching reality TV. (A favorite pastime of mine.) I happened upon a Facebook group titled, “I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar,” which led me to a Web site that has cute little T-shirts available for order. Because I’m thinking in the midst of a wine haze, a little because I often impulse shop but mostly... Read more

I’ve never been able to deal well with being bored. In fact, it’s safe to say that boredom is one of my least favorite human emotions. I think I used to (probably still do) drive my biological father crazy when I visited him in the Podunk town he lives in. One pizza parlor, one grocery store, one bowling alley and one theater that boasts documentaries on the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption every... Read more

Congratulations Winston and Tara Evans! I brought out my boobs, just for you, to celebrate your day. Feel special.... Read more

During my lunch hour today, I was enjoying my rather hearty salad and reading an article I found on The Seattle Times titled, “‘Old Friend’ offers help with writing a memoir.” Since it is my dream to someday turn these 20-something ramblings—or perhaps what my life has to bring—into a memoir, I jumped at the chance to read advice on writing one. The author of the book, Natalie... Read more

Dear February and March, I loathe you. You are the worst two months of the year. Nothing exciting ever happens in February—who actually looks forward to Valentine’s Day, even if you do have a significant other? And does anyone ever really think to him or herself, “Oooh! Leap year is this year! The only thing I’ve ever liked about you, March, is St. Patrick’s Day (heart!), and the downhill slope... Read more

I’m so excited!! I will be heading to Sin City with Baby Daddy and a group of my friends at the end of March. I’ve wanted to go back to Vegas ever since my first trip, right after turning 21. I fell in love immediately—I really don’t know anything better than a single destination that allows extreme partying, dancing, gambling and sunbathing for days on end. Unfortunately, I haven’t had... Read more

Happy Valentine’s Day! I feel sorta silly happy today, which is quite the change from my usual complacent attitude in years gone past. I have to say, Valentine’s Day when you’re single really sucks. You can’t help but to feel slightly down about not having someone to spend the day with. Even if you’re completely satisfied and content with your relationship status, there’s just something...

I’m whoring myself out. That’s right. You knew it was only a matter of time. I’m offering my writing skills up for free to the masses!! I’ve been contacted to be a volunteer for the Taproot Foundation. I found a posting they had on Monster.com for a copywriting position they needed–volunteer only. In my obsession with breaking into the copywriting world, I applied to work for... Read more

Since for the most part I’m constantly trying to watch what I eat, I find it much more exciting now that I know how to make a few recipes and shop for tasty ingredients at the grocery store. Today I enjoyed white bean chicken chili I made in my crockpot last night, (recipe courtesy of good ole mom and listed below), with a walnut, dried cranberry, apple and chicken salad with raspberry, walnut and...
