1. This is the Most Exciting Thing to Happen To Milwaukee Since Laverne and Shirley.
    Last night I sat in the living room listening to the mayor of Glendale, Wisconsin on the phone doing important Mayorly things, like talking about how Nicolet High School is completely under water and whether or not they need to declare the city of Glendale a disaster zone. Now, I can’t speak for the entire [...]

  2. I’m shredded. And not in a Jillian Michaels kind of way. But I like biking. Who knew?
    So, I was totally getting into a good running groove. I was going early in the morning just after the school drop off. I had run just under three miles and first time and just over three the second time. I was totally going 4 yesterday. and even though it’s disconcerting that my 8-year-old can [...]

  3. an admission, a mystery, and a shoe-eating puppy
    Okay, so, I’m going to admit something to you all, and I’m probably going to take a lot of heat for it…because, well, I *know* how people on the internet can get. I have seen the gloves come off and it can get UGLY. and I’m usually a shy-away-from-the-drama type of girl, but, alas, here [...]

  4. the phrase “pet peeve” is totally a pet peeve of mine
    these may appear to be your average run-of-the-mill steel-toed booties. and you may remember them from such trips as McAli takes Edmonton. but, sigh, you would be wrong to think that they are just any old protective footgear. oh no, these puppies were exactly 87 sizes too big for my wee feet and therefore had [...]

  5. right under my nose…
    I had such a great post planned. SUCH a great post. It involved telling you how my skeptical self and I went to a Gold Party at my bff’s last night expecting to maybe make about $50 and eat some twizzlers. I mean, I brought some old gold necklaces and earrings that I haven’t worn [...]

  7. silver linings. as always. and i’m awesome. as always. heh.
    it’s 6:17am and i’m sitting at my desk at work. in the fucking dark because hell if i know how to turn on the lights in here. 6:17? before this the earliest i’ve ever been in was, um, 7:58? but, really, truthfully, there’s no where else i’d rather be right now. (well, that’s a lie. [...]

  8. got pie?
    i’m looking for a good pair of spanx. sadly, though. i’ve tried ‘em. i’ve tried the power panties and i even attempted the midthigh body shaper which is a glorified body stocking that you CLIP onto your bra. but, because i’m a midget, they NEVER fit right and never sucked in a damn thing. all they did was add extra [...]

  10. HELP. i promise i’m not sporting shiners.
    this, friends, is my face, sans makeup. It took me a long time to get the make-up thing down…and yes, like a 6th grader, i still keep it all in a messy, messy bag. over the years, i’ve discovered what i like. and i’m truly an easy girl to please. smashbox foundation, clinique powder, lancome [...]

And I’ve had to guest post for two of ‘em in the last two weeks. It’s like rubbing tequila, a little lime and a whole lot [...]

  15. on the QB1, gross generalizations, haircuts, and drunk dancing
    last night i watched my Superbowl dreams fly right out the window. all thanks to a hypothermic QB1. at least, i hope he was hypothermic. because otherwise, there’s little excuse for the game he played last night. the New York Giants deserved to win that football game…and you know why, Brett? because Eli Manning actually [...]
