CAKE OR SNOT

The lack of “new” posts could be due to the fact that I am sick again and if I post something it will be all about my current disgusting illness and would be infected with descriptive terms such as: “green, Day-Glo snot with the consistency of Elmer’s glue before it dries” and a “hacking cough [...]

THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO

Here are two of my very first blog posts ever:
 
Working at a bar until after 2:00am in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco may have not been the best idea for a young girl lacking in street smarts, especially when having to walk to the bus all by my lonesome in the middle of the [...]

BELLY ACHING

 
 
In the bulk food section at the grocery store, I noticed that they had an array of sugar-free chocolate candy.  I never tried them before but thought I would give it a go and then selected chocolate covered malt balls.  I put my little plastic baggie over the spouting thing, but when I pulled the [...]

It is hard out there for a Misogynistic Asshole

I know this is from last year, but I only just heard about these remarks and was horrified.  In an ELLE interview with actor Terrence Howard:
 
 

ELLE: What is one item could you find in a woman’s house that would prove that you weren’t compatible?
TH: Toilet paper—and no baby wipes—in her bathroom.
ELLE: Wait. I don’t think [...]

I said jump, down on Jump Street

Every time I empty the dishwasher and begin putting the silverware away in their little organized slot cubby in the drawer, I think of Johnny Depp; Every. Single. Time. I am certain there must be at least one other person in the world who also thinks of Johnny Depp when putting away their freshly cleaned [...]

HISTORY OF AN ADDICT

My brother was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This is my wake up call that if I don’t make some big changes, I will be next. I am off sugar once again, people, this time for good (fingers crossed). This week’s addition of fun with flashbacks is my account of my [...]

REUNITED: THE HAUNTED HOTEL

Last weekend I went to a reunion for my old hotel job where I worked for 7 years, but quit over 6 years ago. Actually, I helped organize the damn thing and totally expected only 3 people to show up, but more like 30 people attended the picnic in the park. That is [...]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the day I lost my virginity. Woo! It was a pretty nice experience, as Sam was a virgin, too, so it was like a story book romance, but it was also a harlequin. The setting was a hot, humid day in Queens, NY, so a lot of [...]

CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPLIFTER

I have probably only stolen 1 or 2 things in the last 9 years, but I used to be a chronic petty shoplifter. I think it is an inherent trait, because my whole family has this problem. My brother was caught stealing shorts from R.E.I. in 1986 and the humiliation set him straight, but my [...]
