Aloha! It feels like I haven’t written forever, but that’s because I was on vacation in Maui! We flew in on the red eye last night, and so I’m feeling a little red-eyed. Pardon the incoherence. Despite sleeping only about five hours last night, the boys are shockingly energetic and pleasant, which indicates that a […]
Being a MILF

I was driving home from yoga this morning and I heard “You Shook Me All Night Long” on the radio, and it occurred to me – not for the first time – that the line “knocking me out with those American thighs” had much different connotation back in 1980 than it would today. American thighs […]

Last week I posted about being blue on Blue Monday, but today it was brought to my attention that TODAY IS BLUE MONDAY. But I was sad last week! I’m not sad today! How can it possibly be Blue Monday if I am not sad? I know. I know. It isn’t all about me. Maybe […]

Hey, what has two thumbs and just made it in and out of the post office in less than five minutes? THIS GIRL. I had to mail a package to my in-laws – because I’m such a fabulous daughter-in-law – and I was psyching myself up for total mayhem and trauma. I was even ready […]

It’s the most wonderful time…of the year. Not only is it the holiday season (well, almost the holiday season, I was singing Santa Baby in a slutty voice to myself this morning, so it totally counts) but it is also the Sexiest Man Alive season, as I alluded to in my last post. Mark Wahlberg […]
