As always, Ali and I had to watch Miss America last night, also known as “The Princesses of the States” – which were thankfully much more classy Princesses than the last pageant we watched. Besides my fast forwarding through the unbelievably-looking-like-bra-and-panties swimsuit competition (really, there ARE ways to make bathing suits so that they don’t […]
The Slimy Demise of Me.
Disclaimer: This post contains medical disgust. For all three of you who like such things, feel free to keep reading. The rest of you: be warned and run far, far away. Disclaimer 2: There are always a few of you who say you felt guilty laughing at my expense. If I wasn’t okay with you […]
Stranger Danger.
I had my last doctor’s appointment yesterday. You know, the one where my doctor promised to do The Procedure to help me go into labor. So, after my appointment (which did not make me feel very hopeful of labor at all), and after I checked out without setting another appointment (which was a bizarre feeling), […]
Bama Belles: An Official Rebuttal
For those of you not “fortunate” to watch it, TLC kicked off a new series Sunday night titled Bama Belles which documents the lives of five women from Dothan, Alabama… Dear TLC, Although I’m flattered that Alabama Women have made your Person of Interest List with the likes of Polygamists, Little People, families with 19 […]
A Worthy Addition for Your Christmas Wish List.
Do you love hiking, but just feel so un-sexy when you wear tennis shoes? Or do you have a hangover-from-the-early-90’s-love for Teva Sandals that is so strong that you wish you could wear your 20-year-old-with-the-frayed-edges-favorite-sandals to weddings? Or have you just always just had a keen desire to wear thick, wool, hiking socks with stiletto […]
I’ll Have a Presidential Christmas…
We have a new Christmas store in our mall this year, and it has every type of Christmas ornament that you could ever desire. And so, for a three year old little girl who absolutely adores Christmas, it’s the funnest toy store in the whole mall. But despite the glittery fairies and the pink princesses […]
Phantom Baby.
This is one of those posts that’s going to either make you think that I’m a bit crazy, or you’re going to say “YES!!! I’ve experienced that! I’m glad I’m not the only crazy one!” (So, I guess either way, you’re going to think I’m crazy.) Oh well. Chris and I encountered a strange phenomenon […]
The Second Annual Holiday Shopping (Un)Guide.
It’s that time again…the time that all of the crazy baby catalogs in my mailbox have to move over to make room for all of the even crazier toy catalogs. I seriously just need to put a dumpster out front – the mailbox just isn’t cutting it. And, since I wrote you a shopping guide […]
Votin’ In The South
Among my attempts at avoiding mud-slinging commercials, pre-recorded phone calls, and unfortunately-not-pre-recorded-so-I-can’t-hang-up-on-them-because-I’m-too-dang-polite political surveyors, there is, thank goodness, some entertainment that comes out of elections – at least if you live in Alabama. The names. They’re awesome – especially the nicknames that people choose to associate with themselves. Oddly enough, according to our voting regulations, […]
Mail-Order Baby.
There is indisputable proof that the moment a woman conceives, a magical bulletin is immediately sent to every baby and children’s retailer in the world. She wakes up the next morning, as of yet unaware that she is with child, only to be completely puzzled by the stuffed state of her mailbox – full of […]
