If you’re single, don’t go snooping around at Christmas gifts. It can only lead to bad, bad things.

November 24, 2009

This is a great little Christmas story from a few years ago. Let me set the scene.  Now, I’m a snooper. I always have been and I probably always will be. I remember snooping through my parents closet one year before Christmas and finding a Timex computer (OK, I know I’m dating myself here, but [...]

Cells gone wild!

November 18, 2009

I think the cells on my cervix have decided to start filming their own version of a Girls Gone Wild video. I’ll call it cells gone wild. As if going to the gyno is not awkward and embarrassing enough, getting that phone call a week later really blows. Nurse: Hi is this Essentials Today? Me: [...]

So I’m tucked in, under my soft, velvety blanket listening to the upbeat vocal stylings of Brandi Carlile. Really [...]

Me…in the raw

October 26, 2009

So, I made a decision today. I have cancelled all my online dating profiles. I’ve been wasting so much time checking all my different inboxes, waiting to see who, if anyone, has emailed me or checked out my profile. And it’s just wrong. Creating new profiles on 284759684727 sites only to find the exact same [...]

I went into my Disney hotel lobby store for a cork screw and came out with a pair of crocs.

October 19, 2009

I love Disney. I love that I live so close that I can just roll out of bed on a Saturday morning, decide to go and be there within 1.5 hours. Well, I’d shower first, and have some coffee, check my emails, update Twitter and FaceBook. Probably more like mid-afternoon, but anywhos, you get my [...]

Best friends are like four leaf clovers, hard to find and lucky to have. If only some of them would quit acting like damn thorns.

October 12, 2009

I have a best friend who I have known for the better part of 20 years (I always cringe when I can say I’ve known someone for 20 years. Yikes, it scares the bejeezus out of me.)  Anywhos….I guess I probably should have realized that the relationship would be tumultuous eons ago. Like that fateful [...]

I should never have to wake up to mean emails. They make me want to curse and it’s not good to curse first thing in the morning. Besides, I can come up with more colorful phrases once I’ve had my coffee.

October 3, 2009

I used to live with this dick guy. Every morning when the alarm would go off, I would say something to the effect of “aw, fuck, it’s way too early. I don’t wanna get up yet.”  Every morning he would lecture me on how cursing first thing when you get up is not good, it [...]
