I feel like I, perhaps, left my dear readers hanging; I will make amends by updating you on the goings-on in the Boyhouse. 1) Mark has been using an inhaler for a week, and he has NOT COUGHED FOR A WEEK. Happy coincidence? Related: I have been sleeping uninterrupted through the night. Not once have […]
Sloth and the Splash Pad – Summer of Awesome
July 6, 2011 by
We have been on summer vacation for one week and we have turned into a slothful people. This is why I don’t register the kids in any organized activities; we are too busy being completely lazy every morning to get anywhere. I’m in my sweaty yoga clothes, drinking coffee and accomplishing nothing, until finally showering at 10:00, […]
You put the meaning in my life! You’re the inspiration.
June 3, 2011 by
I waitressed all through university, except for one unfortunate summer in which I worked as a beer girl, ultimately quitting when the requirement was for me to wear a Busch bathing suit to work. Waitressing was not a bad way to make money for a student; the only problem was that by the end of […]

High Maintenance Girl
April 7, 2011 by
Sally: Which am I? Harry: Oh, you’re the worst kind. You’re high maintenance, but you think you’re low maintenance. Sally: I don’t see that. Harry: You don’t see it? Waiter, I’ll have the house salad, but I don’t want the regular dressing. I want the balsamic oil and vinegar. But I want it on the […]
When I am an old woman
April 5, 2011 by
When I am an old woman, I will wear an excessive amount of Chanel Number 5. I will wear thick, bright layers of lipstick that will feather and bleed into my papery skin. I will make wildly inappropriate jokes and sexually harrass all the male orderlies at the home and earn the reputation of being […]
