Have you ever looked closely at food advertisements? They aren’t nearly as appetizing as they are when you DON’T look at them. For instance, I have never had coffee that would just sit gelatinously up above the cup:If you take a minute and pretend it’s cold, it actually looks pretty yummy – Starbucks pudding. Hmm…cross-branding […]
A Lady Never Tells…
We have a way of having quirky and unique creature invasions no matter where we go. At our old house, it was Satan the Squirrel. Thank goodness he hasn’t found us again (yet). But for the last three years at our new house, we have had a much less damaging, but much more puzzling group […]
I’m not sure if we’re trying to scare off giant mosquitoes or arachnophobes, but it’s working.
Our neighborhood has been taken over…by gigantic spiders. And I DO mean GIGANTIC. It started with this one, which quickly became Ali’s best friend: And then it had babies – ones who built magnificent webs, Ones whose heads eerily jerk around and stare at you when you drive past, And even apparently some die hard […]
Market Recovery Ahead for Those Who Lost Their Fortunes in the Great Beanie Baby Market Crash of the 90’s!
Birmingham has gone crazy. I don’t know if the reaches of this phenomenon are national or if it is just local – I’m hoping that all of you can tell me. (By the way, if it IS just local and at some point becomes national, I want this post to document the fact that Alabama […]
Spilling My Age All Over The Place.
I’m not one to inherently feel older after a birthday, but I think 28 is having an affect on me. On Monday I was SO sleepy, so sluggish, so creaky and achy, so edgy – with absolutely no just cause whatsoever. It’s 28. But that’s not the biggest side effect of 28. Apparently, one “perk” […]
And I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For…
Go ahead and hate me for getting that U2 song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. It’s in mine too, if that’s any consolation. But besides that, I decided the other day that it was high time to take another look at my Google Search Terms (my first look can be […]
Passionistas, From a Mundane’s Perspective.
Last year when we went to Alabama’s first (in my football watching career) Atlanta season opener, we were delightfully shocked when we found out that there were not only 80,000+ football fans in downtown ATL, but there were also 40,000+ fans of a VERY DIFFERENT variety, also within a one mile radius. Dragon*Con, a convention […]
The Smiles of My (Foggy) Weekend.
Although I rather unsuccessfully navigated the last few days behind a thick curtain of mental fog thanks to my new allergy medications, I did manage to wake up long enough for a giggle every now and then. And so, since my brain is not functioning enough to actually WRITE a post, I bring you a […]
At Least It’s a Curse With a Sense of Humor.
Earlier this year, I posted about mine and Chris’ curse, that causes every place that we love and that is sentimental to our relationship to close, get demolished, or otherwise maimed. The lowest point of this curse was when our super classy Wedding Rehearsal location, a Greek Steakhouse called Sarris’, closed down and was replaced […]
Gremlins.
I’m not one to condone making blogscuses, but I would like to state a disclaimer for the following blog post: My house is currently under attack by a parade of little gremlins. I was accosted over the weekend by the Emergency Dental Pain Gremlin, and I must say that the Weekend EDP Gremlin is MUCH […]
