Slightly Gross & Childish -- but Genius
Savannah is a proud graduate of puppy school — magna cum laude. This is why it’s not hard to believe that she is a genius. The following short anecdote proves her resourceful brilliance, but it is not for the weak of heart or those who are very serious. Today, after going to the dog park with our other pup, the beloved Kava, Savannah was in desperate need of a bath. Luckily, I have...
A Spot of Tea, M'Lady
There is nothing better than receiving mail — real mail. Well, there is something better than that, and it’s receiving packages. I finally got my adorable teapot and teacup necklace from the beautiful and talented Kaleigh. Kaleigh is the artist/owner behind Unexpected Expectancy, which is a company I have supported and featured here several times. She has the most clever...
WatchA video from the day Kava was adopted. So sweeeepy. Check out the video section of this site; I’ll be uploading a few more throughout the night.
More Like Boo-thday!
It’s true, I turned twenty-frickin’-three on Tuesday. It’s not something I wanted to do, but who am I to stop the inevitable? Well, as I predicted, it totally sucked. It started out well, though. On Monday, Mom and I headed an hour west to Biloxi, Mississippi for some major spa time at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The facial, massage, and exfoliating body wrap — that...

School Days: A Retrospective
School is back in session! Let’s celebrate and/or commiserate with students everywhere by…well…looking at me, I guess. All the big days of my education are here: For starters, here I am headed to my first day of kindergarten at Christ the King Catholic School. This, as you know, is where on my timeline that I began to love “Dream a Little Dream of Me.” I would spend...

Sneakily Showing You My Boyfriend
If there was anything to know about the Eberly family, other than they are all much too smart for their own goods, it was that they fish. A lot. This was evident even when Rob and I first met, which was right about here: So, naturally I was dying to partake in this coveted and exclusive experience. I was granted this honor early Monday morning. I pretty much just rode along (I love nothing more...

Overheard Hilarity
My six year-old nephew, Andrew, decided to open his own in-room massage therapy business. Who am I to complain? These are some of the things that were said to me during my rubs: “I’ll give you forty squeezes — that’s the special I’m running for girls. Boys only get thirty.” “I can do this every night for you. I’m always available.” “If...
Preachin' to the Choir
I will go to the grave drinking water, milk, tea, juice, and Wild Cherry Pepsi. I will also go to the grave being extremely pale. This, my friends, is why: ALCOHOL In the first experiment of its kind, 15 volunteers quickly drank the alcoholic equivalent of three beers through straws as their brains were scanned. Six minutes after doing so, the magnetic imaging began to show chemicals that are...
Ebbs and Flows
The ebbs and flows of life are so balanced and perfect if you just breathe. Wait. Listen. React. Work: Ebb - Writing is a difficult field in which to catch a break. Flow - I was just offered a fabulous opportunity. Love: Ebb - A long, miserable, unbalanced relationship left me shattered. Flow - I finally land the nearly perfect boy I’ve had a crush on since I was 7, and I’m...
Easy Does It
My ex surprised me by sending me a series of friendly texts yesterday. They were the no-big-deal type of texts, but it was nice to be able to briefly shoot the breeze. It all started with his complimenting my family’s lessons in dongs. So, since he was catching up with my blog, I thought I would take a glance at his. I saw one post that said something like, “I don’t have all my...
Featured Artist: Lindsey Welch
Tell me… …is this not the cutest girl you’ve ever seen? Yes, she is. I know what you’re thinking. Girls like this are just trophies. They exist solely to be precious and make you feel like you’re something special because she graces you with her presence. Well, would it blow your mind if I told you that…she is also smart, witty, and talented, too?! Because she...
Weirdest Family Conversation Ever
Mom: I need to take the puppies to PetSmart to get a Dong toy.
Alexi: MOM! It's Kong, not dong.
Mom: Whatever!
Alexi: No, not whatever. Dong is another term for a dick.
Mom: What? Nobody knows that!
Alexi: Everybody knows that! Even your husband; he knows all kinds of things...even about weed.
Mom: That's a gong! Even I know that!
Alexi: No, Mom. It's a bong.
Mom: Matt, do you know what a dong is?
Matt: Like a ding dong?
Mom: No, it's something nasty.
Alexi: It's another word for a wiener.
Matt: I thought that was "schlong."
