What does this picture say to you? [The kennel door is open, by-the-way.] To me, it means that the end of the summer is getting damn close and the beginning of Fall is on its way. Let me explain. We live in Arkansas and Arkansas is usually unbearably hot from sometime in May until sometime… Continue reading Fall Tease
Hello. This is a call to action. In the spirit of the Democratic National Convention, I present to you an early opportunity to vote…FOR ME. To make it easy on everyone involved, I have included not one, but TWO places for you to click so that you can vote [FOR ME]. The first is on… Continue reading Vote for Me…Please?
As I’m typing this, I’m having a contraction. BUT, it’s not one of those, “OH MY GAWD I’M IN LABOR” contractions. It’s just something to remind me that I have absolutely no fucking control over this pregnancy whatsoever. Last night I woke up thinking, “Damn, that hurt!” and I promptly went back to sleep. I’ve… Continue reading Still Pregnant
I just got an email from BareEscentuals.com about this 4 HOURS ONLY[!!!] thing that they’re doing for their Lip Guard lip gloss. It’s “kind of free” because you have to buy $40 worth of product and enter in the code BEACHY. I have to say that I’m mildly pissed by this email since I just… Continue reading Kind of Free Bare Escentuals Lip Gloss
Way back in October of last year I reviewed Joshua Henkin’s book, Matrimony. I really enjoyed the book and wish that I could link to the review that I wrote. Sadly, that was one of the posts that got assassinated during the “Great Host Move of ’08”. [Just take me at my word that I… Continue reading Book Giveaway
I’m currently reading The Ghost Map. It’s about a major cholera outbreak in London in the the middle part of the 19th Century. How’s that for light bedtime reading? In my defense, Tucker’s reading Bitten which is about…well…bites. Spider bites. Ferret bites. Snake bites. Human bites. Pretty much any and every bite that you can… Continue reading Clean Water and Other Random Things
Yesterday was an interesting and eventful [yet uneventful] day. I know we did something other than eat at O’Charley’s but I really can only remember the lunch part. There is a point somewhere around here… So we were eating lunch and my back started hurting. Then my stomach started hurting. Then, they started hurting in… Continue reading 36 Weeks and Change
Before Parent Bloggers offered The White Trash Mom Handbook for my reading and reviewing pleasure, I had never heard of Michelle Lamar or her blog, WhiteTrashMom.com. [That makes me a big, out of the loop looser, doesn’t it?] I was intrigued by the title of the book since #1 I’m from Arkansas, #2 I’m a… Continue reading Semi Homemade Meets The Heathers
I’m on my way out the door to head to Little Rock but I wanted to leave you with a look at my hair this morning. The pregnancy hormones have calmed down a bit and after I got to mess with the hair a little bit, I don’t absolutely hate it like I did. It’s… Continue reading I Leave You with This
This was me at around 15:30 today. I was not happy. Can you tell? I used to look like this: I liked this hair cut. It made me feel pretty and thin and like I looked LIKE A FUCKING GIRL. I’ll try and keep the story short. I got my hair cut like a month… Continue reading Butchered
Our “baby plan” is that Oliver is going to stay in our room till he outgrows the bassinet part of our pack-n-play and then he’ll move into Cara’s room. [Can’t wait for that mayhem.] Since Oliver won’t be using the crib for a while, we weren’t in any hurry to get any sort of crib… Continue reading Can’t Beat Cheap with a Stick
