Hi everyone!  As you read this, I am enmeshed in the annoying process of traveling by air.  We spent the weekend out of town and we’re now trying to make our way back to the DC area on a plane.  Have I mentioned that I hate air travel?  Hate. It.  Hate.  It’s undignified, expensive, and [...]

Where do I start with Jenn?  Let’s start with the birthday party she planned for her son.  Her carnival themed birthday party.  With ideas she got from Martha Stewart. And when she executed said Martha-ideas, she did it well and nothing at her party looked like it had been made by deranged monkeys then left [...]

Yeee-hawww!  It’s Thursday so, once again, I’m letting Mama Kat pick my topic for me.  This one is a good one! 2.) If you could do your wedding over, how would you do it? First of all,  I considered vlogging about this topic and put it out for a vote on Facebook and Twitter.  I [...]

Recently, I received an email from the ops director at my office telling me he had gotten a call from a bank verifying my employment prior to final approval on mortgage closing.  While I appreciated him telling me this, and the bank’s diligence in making sure they only approve qualified borrowers, I was profoundly alarmed [...]

Case in point, my reviews of the Twilight saga.  What’s that? You think I liked Twilight?  Ok, yeah maybe I enjoyed reading those books a [...]

The fabulous KLZ at Taming Insanity asked me to guest post so shoo!  Head on over there to read about what I used to wear in high school.  And check out her posts, especially the ones about how she used to torture her dad. Because that?  Is comic genius in blog form. Meanwhile, I’ll be [...]

I have a post on DC Metro Moms with no discussion about gynocology whatsoever.  But I stand by my admonition that you all get pap smears once a year!

Thursday already?  That means it’s time for Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop! 2.) What was your medicine? Write about a time you remember being ill. (inspired by writingfix.com) I’ve never really been seriously ill, knock wood.  But last year, I escaped serious illness thanks to some routine tests and a simple preventive procedure. And I am [...]

Summer is approaching and here in the Mid-Atlantic that means temperatures in excess of 85 degrees and the kind of humidity that probably resulted in the extinction of Mid-Atlantic dinosaurs who drowned trying to breath the soupy air. So, all over the region, women are updating their wardrobes to reflect the change in season.  Men…aren’t. [...]

Dear Heidi Montag, Who are you? No, seriously.  Who are you?  I’ve read about a million stories about your FFF-cup fake boobs but I’m still not entirely sure why they were newsworthy.  Unless the story was titled “Stupidly Big Fake Boobs and the Women Who Have Them”. What I’ve been able to piece together without [...]
