So I come home, arms loaded with dinner and a liquor store run and the dog, fresh from day care; and all I want is a glass of icy white wine... Being the Klassy gal I am, I head for the "cask" (re:box) of Fish Eye in the fridge... I open the fridge, and

Let's be honest - women in their 20s and 30s have tummy trouble... you know what I am talking about, all your gals who say you "have a sensitve stomach" or have a list of rules about what and where you can eat, what meds you need to take, and a whole

Ahh, Town and Country, how I love thee... This one is only an add, and yet I am in love... those huge windows with the drapes, the big round ottoman dividing the two spaces in the room, that blue lamp in the corner with the understatedly proportioned

I have come to the realization that I am a kind of mediocre jack-of-all-trades.... It started with my many careers in my 20s.. I went from College Student studying Poli-Sci, to Culinary Student, to Restaurant Manager, to Make up artist, to Baker, to Floral

Ugh... I feel awful... tummy trouble abounds, some invisible force is squeezing the old bean until I feel like my eyes might pop right out of my noggin... I speculated yesterday that it might just be an extra-pronounced version of A.F.'s monthly arrival,

So I get up this morning to find a puddle of coffee all over our counter... clearly I wasn't paying enough attention while loading the coffee and setting the auto-brew last night.. I soak and I wipe and I squeegee, and get it all cleaned up, check to

So as some of you know, my twin sis, the other half of my egg, has taken BIL and made for Australia - leaving me here to fend for myself on this stupid continent... (OK, OK, that is an overstatement, but still..) For both of us, our first plane trip was

So I am at Einsteins today, grabbing a box of bagels in honor of my two teammates' return from vacay... and everything is a-ok until this girl in running gear and her little friend get in line behind me... first of all, she is a crowder, which I hate...

Oh, it is the sound of silence... as in, "the in-laws are gone, amen" silence... Ahhhhhhhhhh..... DH is off at the all star game festivities, playing tour-guide for a bunch of Japanese big wigs from Sharp Japan and commanding the minions running the Sharp

So BIL's horrifying behavor came to a head in one last spectacular display of craptacularly piss-poor manners that began on Tuesday evening when I got home from work.... Somehow he uttered the N-word durring a story while we were out on the patio right

I emerged from the bedroom this morning, freshly showered and tip-toeing so-as-not-to wake our snoozing houseguests (or DH for that matter) and I stopped dead in my tracks when I hit the living room... cushions and pillows from the couches on the floor,

When DH's fam is in town, it seems to lower the level of manners and decent behavior to that of say, a 9 year old... Him and BIL act like spazs together when things are "good" which isn't often since someone always seems to be pouting.. And I don't need
