A few weeks ago, I was approached by HarperCollins to do a book review of Thanks for Coming: One Young Woman’s Quest for an Orgasm by Mara Altman. My immediate reaction was, um, YES because a) I’m obsessed with memoirs and b) who doesn’t love to read/write/talk about or have sex? Not this girl! My lovely review copy came just in time for me to pack it with me on the plane to Mexico. I started it... Read more

I might have just had the most boring weekend of 2009. Possibly my life. I guess there is something to be said about loving Baby Jesus – at least Baby Jesus lovers had dinner plans that included copious amounts of ham, carbs and coconut-flavored treats. Me, well, I just ate an entire box of Peanut Butter Bumpers while sitting home by myself. That’s right. Peanut Butter Bumpers. Do not buy that shiz... Read more

So during last Saturday’s bacon series, “Yo Quero Bacon! [Part I]” I talked about bacon-wrapped hot dogs at a stand in Sayulita, Mexico. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to make it to Sayulita – it was on the long list, but ended up being the one and only to-do that we cut. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad cause I’m still pretty sure I would have died... Read more

Hola! I’m back and currently still trying to stop saying, Gracias to everyone. Since that’s the extent of the Spanish I know besides Me casa es su casa (My house is your house), which isn’t really appropriate to be throwing around in Mexico, I got really excited to say Gracias when it was appropriate (and sometimes when it wasn’t). So now I’m embarrassingly still saying Gracias to everyone,... Read more

[This final guest blogger is actually a journalism nerd friend from college who's been blogging at Word Is Born since 2005. That's like super early in blog time. Unless you're Dooce. Let's be honest, he might be the reason I started blogging in the first place. But that still doesn't mean he's "Gods Gift to Blogging," as he likes to call himself. *Groan* But ladies, he's male. So of course he needs our... Read more

[This wonderfully hilarious post is brought to you by Katie from Don't Call Me Kathleen, and I think we might be blog twins because my regular readers should know, I am famous for drunken mishaps and Baby Jesus loving. So she couldn't really have done any better, picking a story to fit into my little corner of the Interwebs. Here's a quick background story to show you how dumb I can be sometimes (even... Read more

Picture me eating bacon in Mexico on the beach. Cause that’s what I’m doing right now – ordering the shiz (Read: pounds) out of some bacon while on vacation. Cause vacation calories don’t count ya’ll! And I did not count every calorie and pump iron six days a week for a long stretch of time before my vacation, to watch what I eat while ON vacation. Like duh. So, in honor of my... Read more

[You know how I previously wrote that if you talk books with me, I'll love you forever? Redacted. If you talk drunken debauchery with me, I'll love you forever. Is there anything funnier than a good drunken story? A college journalism friend of mine, Cari from Flipflops in the Rain, might be somewhat of a fair-weather blogger, but the girl can drink. Therefore, I'll love her forever. She's shared some of... Read more

[Ah. The first kiss from that person who rocked your world for the first time and is sorta forever hard to get over. We all have one of these. Or at least I do. Lily from Lily Speak is sharing here with you a story of her first kiss, first love, first crazy butterflies and memories that are forever imprinted... I just started reading Lily's blog, which I highly recommend. She's a very wise, strong and... Read more

Okay friends, as some of you know, I’m off to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week to celebrate a Dolphin Sister’s wedding. I’m super excited to be on the beach next week, lying horizontally with a book and a drink. I might do a little horizontal lying in my room too. And a little horizontal stuff with my BF. That might be the extent of my trip, so I’ll spare you the recap post when I get back unless... Read more
