An ongoing investigation has unraveled a ring of high school students who caused last week’s Snowpocalypse in Birmingham, Alabama. According to captured SnapChat messages (that’s right, children, your data isn’t safe – not even there), thousands of area teenagers banded together to compound a liquid road treatment that immediately turns snow into ice, which puzzled […]
Wedding Crashers.
This post is supported and endorsed by two wedding planners. We need to talk about an alarming trend that is spreading like Kardashians and certain to bring doom to our nation if not addressed. Slovenly Dressed Wedding Photographers. At the last several weddings I’ve attended, I’ve been horrified by cutoff shorts, yoga pants, t-shirts, holey […]
Bad Answers to Good Questions: Christmas Edition.
Sometimes my kid asks me a question for which I have no answer. I vaguely speak a bunch of hogwash and then change the subject, hoping she’ll move on. But my mind cannot. It is a continuity issue that must be addressed. And so it spins in the background, using up my RAM memory and […]
It’s Fashion, Y’all. Gameday Fashion.
I wasn’t going to post one this year. I know, I know – it’s tradition. But I live-tweeted it instead on a particularly fun gameday, and I thought that was good enough. Apparently it was not. I had people who missed it. Or wanted it all again. And some that even said “it’s all they […]

Baby Got Pad.
There is really nothing I adore more than watch people awkwardly record important moments with iPads. Especially in large crowds of people where their ‘pad completely blocks the view of the people around them and they’re likely to give their neighbor a black eye if they get too excited. Or two. And, much akin to […]

The Foreign Universe of The South.
I do adore Project Runway. As long as Tim Gunn is there, I will be a lifelong fan. (Same goes for Sofia the First. He’s the star of that show and Sofia knows it.) However, last week’s episode was a tiny bit perplexing, and has made me seriously rethink the perception that the rest of […]
75 Ways to Get Guilted on Facebook.
This list started months ago as a text vomit stream between my friend Ashley and me. And we decided that the world should be allowed into our heads. How can Facebook give you a Guilt Trip? Let us count the ways. 1. By buying organic. It’s too expensive and you’re selfishly robbing money for your […]
