Rue McClanahan died! I always secretly thought that I would be like a non-slutty Blanche Devereaux when I am old: reeking of Chanel Number 5, making suggestive jokes in response to normal conversation, wearing support stockings and bright lipstick. Query: have I already turned into a non-slutty Blanche Devereaux? I thought I had a few […]
Bad Boys and Bad Husbands

Remember my thoughts about the attractiveness of fictional bad boys? I wrote a piece about it and it’s up at Yummy Mummy. Check it out! xo
It’s my dog’s birthday!
May 30, 2010 by
I used to think that people who celebrated their pets’ birthdays were, how shall I say, a little bit lame. But! That was before we had Barkley, the wonder dog. Mark is presenting him with his birthday treat. I tried to manually take out Barkley’s red eyes because the photo made him look like a […]
Stitches and Disney and Snow in Late May
May 28, 2010 by

It didn’t affect me though as I am decidedly not a camper. I am […]
Randomness: Jeopardy, Miss USA, and Brahmin Widowhood

Secretly I prefer […]
