Something has been bothering me for quite some time now… and while it might be a little too crass for some of you, I just have to bring it up. It has to do with bushes. No, not George, although he’s bothered me for quite some time also. The bushes I’m talking about are approximately half a foot south of your bellybutton. What I’d like to know is when it went from being socially acceptable to have a... Read more

And that means a Sunday fun day with beer, nachos, wings, BEAN DIP, chips, meatballs and everything else that I normally wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot poll unless it were at a Super Bowl party. Ooh boy, I can’t wait! What are YOU making? Need some ideas? Remember that really fantastic caramel corn I made for Christmas? I’m making it again, and perhaps it’d be a great reason for you...

This past weekend I picked up “Eat This, Not That” after listening to all of my co-workers talk about it (I am easily coaxed onto bandwagons). As I move comfortably and sometimes awkwardly through my 20s, I am increasingly more concerned and aware with the food I buy. Everything in my pantry and lunchbox is low sugar, low calorie, whole wheat, high fiber, blah, blah, blah. It’s sorta funny because I... Read more

I’m a bag girl. I love them; I buy them frequently; I owe a million; I have one in every color (because I habitually match my coat to shoes to earrings to bag). I just don’t like the expensive ones. My taste wanes much to quick and boredom sets in far to early for me to spend $200 plus on a purse. My inexpensive bag dreams have come true. Target recently launched their Hayden-Harnett for Target... Read more

…attending a Michael Jackson vs. Prince dance party. Friday night, a great bar in Seattle called Nectar (home to my 25th silver birthday bash) had a Michael Jackson vs. Prince night. No the actual artists weren’t singing and no there weren’t impersonators on stage, but yes it was a grand ole drunken time with 80s dancing, hip thrusts and snapping. (My new hot pink heels came in... Read more

Today I ran across a neat site – Wordle - which creates a tag cloud from any sort of text or Web site you choose. I came across it while reading an article a co-worker sent me on a word cloud analysis of Obama’s inaugural speech vs. Bush. (Yes, I’m this nerdy). Anyway, my immediate reaction was to want to know what words would pop up most in my little homespun blog here. So, I took all... Read more

I think I realized today that I am unofficially an emotional eater. I eat when I’m happy. I eat when I’m drunk. I eat (a lot) when I’m in love. I eat when someone sneezes. Because something even that minute makes me hungry. I eat when I see food ads. I eat when it’s in front of me. I eat when I’m bored. I eat when I’m full. I eat when I’m drunk. (Oh shit. I already put that. I must be drunk).... Read more

Today the first President, many say, who has truly united and excited America since John F. Kennedy will begin his Presidential reign. I read CNN’s Campbell Brown’s commentary this morning on the bus to work, which she delivered yesterday on MLK Day, and I thought it was a great thing to post as Barack Obama gets sworn in this morning as our 44th President: (CNN) — Barack Obama...

I love random, thoughtful gifts. My co-worker bought me these chalkboard wine glasses from Cost Plus World Market. Now I can drink out of a personalized wine glass every night, according to my mood. (Wait. Did I just admit I drink wine every night? I joke. I joke. I kid. I kid.) I’ll deny it if you tell. P.S. I’m G $, and sometimes I call my boyfriend Rexy (anyone get the reference?), in...

Yesterday I rejoined the “girls who tan to make themselves look feel sexier” club. My shit is pale. Anyway, my 27 birthday this week induces a little reality – I’m not going to be young forever. And all the drinking and partying is already going to take a toll on my lovely lady bits, so I don’t want to compound it with wrinkles from tanning too. (Really all I’m worried about is the...
