Yummie Tummie sent me two of their tanks for me to wear to BlogHer – the tank and the boyfriend. Though they might be a bit pricey, the return that you see in smoothed bumps and jiggly bits is well worth it. In case you’re wondering, the white sparkly tank and the jeans are from… Continue reading Yummie Tummie Video Review
Next Time I’ll Say Something
I have been young and stupid and have worked many, many different jobs. Some of those jobs I cared about but most I did not. Most of those jobs were more about socializing than rendering a service and my customers were like gnats that annoyed me. So, I get it when I go to Target… Continue reading Next Time I’ll Say Something
Selfish
*Note – This was originally posted Dec. 9th, 2008. However, I have moved it up so it’s visible again because I have been asked to.* When your average person commits suicide, they do it because they feel dying is the only option left to them. They are at such a point of despair they can… Continue reading Selfish
I Was Almost VERY Lucky
Unfortunately [for me], Best Buy has corrected the messed up pricing and I could never get my order to go through. I thought I had my Christmas shopping all wrapped up. Image|Amy Tucker Black and white image|striatic
Letter to My Mom
I wrote this about two years ago and just rediscovered it again. I know there are some of you out there who can relate. Mom, I hope that you’ll forgive me for writing you instead of calling you; I think I’m taking a break from talking to anyone for a while. There are some things… Continue reading Letter to My Mom
A Game I’d Rather Not Play
I did something this weekend that I rarely do – I stood up to my dad. It’s not that I let my dad walk all over me, it’s that he’s usually too afraid of me to be an absolute ass in my general direction. I’ve never chased after him with a knife [though maybe he’s… Continue reading A Game I’d Rather Not Play
A Quiet Place
Sometimes, when everyone else is asleep and the house is utterly quiet, it is almost heavenly to curl up with a good rum and coke, a cup of cheap ramen and a good book and enjoy being alone. Image|Coca-Cola Art Gallery
I’m a Rat Lover
Little know fact about me: I love rats. Several years ago, while Tucker was at boot camp for the Navy, I became very, very lonely. I had Sophie, the wonder pit bull, but I still felt a huge gaping hole in my heart where there should have been a Tucker. In my desperation to fill… Continue reading I’m a Rat Lover
A Big Box of Organic Goodness from Santa Cruz Organic
I love it when I’m having a bad day and the FedEx guy brings me food to review. Ain’t life grand? Also, my FedEx guy has great timing since my box of goodies got here right around snack time. Cara does love herself a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich and she about lost it… Continue reading A Big Box of Organic Goodness from Santa Cruz Organic
Snorting Bleach
Today I actually got to GO IN some houses that I had stalked looked at on the Internet. We had a list of seven to check out. Seven. I went into it expecting to end the house looking session being all conflicted and not knowing which of the amazing houses we were going to buy.… Continue reading Snorting Bleach
Do You Know the Super Nanny?
One of the very popular topics when I first started writing this blog was Cara and her problems sleeping. Her problem being that she didn’t like sleeping unless she was firmly attached to my boob or strapped on my in her sling. In desperation, I bought Dr. Ferber’s book, read it and decided that it… Continue reading Do You Know the Super Nanny?
My Kingdom for a Can of Bugspray
Many of my dad’s “weekends” were spent at my paternal grandmother’s house. Her house is surrounded by about two hundred acres of deep woods and I can remember many nights falling asleep to the music of cicadas and frogs. Still to this day, those sounds put me at ease and take me back to nights… Continue reading My Kingdom for a Can of Bugspray
