Thank you
This is just a "WTF" entry. The title words are pretty easy to say. So then, why are people so rude ( Read more... ) -
The wai-ai-ting is the hardest part
(sorry Tom Petty)
We're getting married in 116 days. That's a lot of days, but I imagine that after the holidays it will come at me so fast I won't even realize what's happening until I'm laying, toned from all this working out I'm doing, in a hammock outside our villa in Ocho Rios calling for Jeeves to bring me some rum punch. Knowing me, after a ( Read more... ) -

Does anyone have a normal boss? I've had an interesting string of them
My first bosses were at Eckerd Drugs where I worked part-time during the holidays while in high school. One of them adopted me as her personal errand girl. She would call in her lunch order at a nearby restaurant and send me to retrieve it on a near-daily basis. The other was ( Read more... ) -

Pentecostals, politicians, and lying whores
That's what you get when you go to church with my family back home (those are are easily offended should stop reading now). The pastor of the church I was raised in has recently taken to the word "whore". According to my sources (okay, okay, my parents), the first use was when he was discussing the kiss between Madonna and Brittany Spears on some ( Read more... ) -
the pink wars
We had a nice busy weekend at home. The weather was quintessential North Carolina autumn...quite lovely. Saturday morning I dropped J at his dad's house and drove to my hair and makeup appointment. My mom wanted me to use her stylist because she's a very talented makeup artist and as soon as I walked in the door I could pick her out of the crowd ( Read more... )
