1. skeletons
    some things get to be just yours. some secrets. some issues. they get to be buried and hidden and ignored. or they get to be complained about. until you have a daughter. and then you have another. and then your disordered eating and your disordered view of your body doesn’t get to be just yours anymore. because [...]

  3. of pasta birthdays and pineapple express dreams
    yesterday, while on the phone with miss SLynnRo, complaining talking about people oversharing with me, my doorbell rang and i ran for cover. i so wasn’t expecting visitors and i sure as hell didn’t want any unannounced ones. but, looking through the peephole, i realized it was either a primordial dwarf or a package, so [...]

  4. a summer bonus. and i don’t know how to be single.
    food poisoning. a nice little bonus summer activity i can now cross off my list. i still feel like crap, but the chills/sweats/chills/sweats fever is gone so i’m back at work. i pretty much slept straight from 10:30 yesterday morning until 6:30 this morning, waking only to tell the husband, twitter and Tova how awful i [...]

  5. this week i will…
    …attempt to NOT be such a music snob. i really, really am. i really, really wish i wasn’t, though. i realize that there’s a reason we have so many different radio stations. not everyone is going to like what i like. different strokes, right? but sometimes…things happen…where snarkyAli rears her head and says things on [...]

  6. i am a liar! (albeit not a very good one)
    i am very open about the fact that i’m a really shitty liar. i swear. i am. if i’m lying, you will know. i cannot bring myself to tell you that your baby is cute if he looks like an old wrinkled man. and i cannot tell you that no, those pants don’t make your [...]

  7. think karma can be bribed with cheeseburgers?
    phone karma. make fun of your dinky little phone and it will hide your messages from you and then, all of a sudden, it will be all “hey, dude, you have 29 messages!” and i really wish that 29 was an exaggeration. it’s not. this morning i had 29 phone messages. and i’m not that [...]

  8. met on the internet
    i hate manicures and pedicures. seriously. the entire experience. having someone massaging your hands and (ew) feet. that cheese grater tool they use…what the fuck IS that thing anyway? having to choose your colors without any guidance…there’s a friggin’ wall of choices, how am i supposed to pick one? from the non-english speaking…it’s straight out of that [...]

  9. please come and sell me chocolate. i will buy a dozen.
    i wish more Jehovah’s Witnesses came knocking at my door. no, really, i do. (you can stop laughing now) i’m fascinated by religions in general and love to pick at the brains of the religiously inclined. i love to hear about what and why they believe. i mean, i come from a family full of jews, [...]

  10. raised right. and straight. and with a warm gun.
    i consider myself to have been raised right. well, that’s not entirely true. my sister and i are actually shocked that we managed to grow up to be actual functioning members of society and not banging our heads against some padded wall all girl interrupted style. only with way better hair and probably less dead chicken [...]
