Beauty Top Down: Make-Up

Oh make-up. How I love you! Pretty colors, enticing packaging, the promise of looking prettier! What’s not to love? I have so much make-up. Just look! And keep looking. And remember that I tossed out a cabinet full of make-up when I moved in January. Yeah. I love make-up. The problem is, I bought all [...]

Toys That Make You Go WTF?

So, I went to Toys R Us. That in and of itself is pretty bad news. Toys R Us is one of those places that sends me into the kind of sensory overload that makes me want to run, whimpering, back into the natural light just to get away, far, far, away from the flourescent [...]

Football Food: Chicken and Artichokes

O-H-I-O!!!!!! The Buckeyes are going strong (sorry 3 Pugs and a Baby. I know last week must have been rough). And it’s time for more weekend comfort food! This chicken and artichokes recipe came from a cookbook published by the Junior League of Rochester back when i was in college. My mom gave it to [...]

Deep Thoughts

This is barely a post. This a collection of questions that have popped into my mind this week. I apologize for not having anything better to write. *** Why do some men sit with their knees so far apart that they’re invading the seats on either side of them? Are they airing out their crotches?

Letter to the New York Jets

Dear New York Jets: I hope every single one of you got a call from your mother this week where she said that she’s ashamed of you and that she didn’t raise you to act like that. You know what I’m talking about. Ines Sainz, pretty reporter from a Mexican tv station came to stand [...]

C’s Bookshelf

Many of you are familiar with my reading habit. I consume books the way I consume coffee. Right now I’m on a quest to set a land-speed record for how fast I can finish the entire Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. Those are the books the series True Blood is based on and OH [...]

Metro Can Suck It

Two facts about last week: 1) I have an adorable new yellow purse that I am not carrying during the week. 2) I am putting C through hand-holding boot camp. These facts are related. And they’re both Metro’s fault. Here’s the deal. As many of you who frequent this space know, we are a commuting [...]

Cats in Ikea!

I’m posting this because I kind of love it. 100 cats, loose in Ikea. Awesome-sauce.

Football Food: Meatloaf

My husband and I are joined by a holy bond. No, nothing that happens in a  church. Something that happens in a Horseshoe. On the banks of the Olentangy River. Yes, that’s right. We are both Ohio State football fans. I went to THE Ohio State University (college sports enthusiasts know why I emphasize THE) [...]

Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop: With Friends Like These…

This week, Mama Kat wants me to consider the plight of my friends who don’t have kids. Only I don’t have a lot of friends without kids. Because, um, I have a kid and that makes me uninteresting to people without kids. 1.) A list of things you no longer have in common with your [...]
