This article practically wrote itself. Here’s the background, though, to catch you up if you weren’t already paying attention. I wrote a piece earlier this week entitled “Play Dates are Ass” which appealed to several of my like-minded female friends. And any moms who disagreed don’t typically read my blog anyway because they are the […]
Stop Saying “ Don’t Follow Your Passion ”
I have been seeing some pretty crazy advice floating around on the webby-webs in the past couple months, which is starting to go beyond mildly annoying and moving right into danger of pissing me off. The “advice” isn’t really advice so much as filler, or a restatement of the obvious. An extreme and ludicrous […]
Why I Write The Way I Do
Why do I write the way I do? I’ve been asked in recent weeks how on earth I get away with writing the way I do. You know — the questionable subject matter, the naughty language, the over-the-top aggressive tone. My answer is this: I get away with it because I write whatever pleases […]
Play Dates Are Ass
My good friend Jesse (as opposed to my hubz Jesse) wrote an article for Parent Society called “I Hate Playdates” which reminded me that I had wanted to write about that topic too. Because they seriously tick me off! I would find this tedious fad annoying enough if it didn’t actually impact me on a […]
Zombies Tried to Kill Us
Zombies tried to kill us, but at least the kids were safe. Moral: Send your kids away more often. Last weekend my hubz’ brother came over to hang out and have some beers. The kids were both gone — the little was at her father’s house, and the big was out somewhere with his […]
Bacon Jokes — WTF?
I don’t understand the surge in Bacon Jokes. Or weird, bacon-flavored foods. Or references to it that don’t make sense in normal conversation. Please. Help me to understand the phenomenon of these Jokes. It seems everywhere I turn there are more and more jokes about bacon. Everyone makes Bacon Jokes on Twitter: […]
Sick Days – NO is not an option!
I recently had cause to think about sick days, even though I no longer work outside the home. Lucky for me, I can take as many sick days as I want and it’s just not an issue beyond the buildup of laundry. But honestly… that is sometimes a problem anyway, sick days or no. […]
Kansas – Your State SUCKS!
Kansas – Your State SUCKS! Yeah, you heard me, Kansas. Your State Sucks Ballz. But don’t worry. You aren’t the only state that sucks. And to show you that you’re not alone, every month I will showcase another great American travesty. Because I want you to be informed! Kansas has not elected a Democrat to the […]
Fracking Friday
It’s Fracking Friday We decided I need to find a cause to get up under, because that’s what grownups do. Everyone knows you haven’t made it BIG until you defend someone smaller than yourself. Well, not necessarily smaller. Just maybe more defensible-ish. Something that needs defending. Something you can really get behind with all your […]
Nepotism – Want to get hired? Better be related!
August AtoZ: Nepotism I don’t know why, but whenever I hear the word “nepotism” I instantly think two things: -1. something has died. -2. it has to do with men. Thank goodness my brain kicks in, albeit three seconds too late as these images have already crossed my mind. For the first point, obviously I […]
