Stuff happens in public restrooms. Right? Sometimes you get to see it after the fact, like this beautiful graffiti on a Church bathroom door… …even for defacing Church Property. And sometimes you are blessed enough to live through it – like the time, almost exactly a year ago, when I was in a Tampa restaurant […]
Bubblegum Lies.
Saturday night, we met my Mom and brother at Rusty’s BBQ. It’s the only place we ever meet them, because it’s halfway between our houses and is exactly what you want in a good, off-the-path Southern BBQ place: without pretense, containing random kitsch (I especially like their license plate map of the United States), booths […]
Girls {Night} Gone Bad.
All Girl’s Nights Out should have adventure. Right? Right. A couple of weeks ago, a friend was in from out of town, so that was the perfect excuse that us girls needed to get together. We decided on a restaurant – a fairly fancy Greek one, because I’ve solidly convinced all of my friends of […]
The Turkish Connection.
Whenever I’m in the car alone, if I have the presence of mind to turn off Veggie Tales (and there is nothing like the rage of a mommy when she realizes that she’s inadvertently listened to Veggie Tales alone for half an hour), I turn on Spotify and blow my speakers out in the attempt […]
Pitfall, The Shopping Edition.
I have a horrible confession. I’ve been cheating on Zulily. Not only have I been cheating on Zulily, but I’ve completely abandoned my daily Zulily Browsing, which means no more Weird Strange and True posts for you. However, I’ve replaced her with a new App Mistress: HauteLook. This exposes a growing selfishness in my heart, […]
56,000 Selfies: The Tale of a Capsule Endoscopy.
I like to stay on the cutting edge of technology, but I swallowed a camera because my doctor told me to. Also. I would like to clarify that my pinkie is not that crooked in real life. I caught it in the middle of a yoga move preparing to play its part in shoving a […]
The Snow Chasing Us.
So the children and I set out early Tuesday morning to seek snow adventures. We ran into some slightly dicey weather about halfway there, which is when I learned for the first time that you could actually use defrost to de-FROST your windshield. I seriously had no idea. And it wasn’t a quick realization, either. […]
Carnivorous Creations: The Meat Bouquet.
Originally posted September 1, 2009. And still one of the stupidest things we’ve ever done for a blog post. Chris has consistently sent me gorgeous flowers throughout our relationship. I have always greatly appreciated this, but have always been burdened with a good bit of guilt at each occurrence of said delivery, because there’s nothing […]
The Lyrics That Will Kill Us All.
Today was the day that I realized my two-year-old was a musician. Not because he’s ever touched an instrument, but by watching his face. As we were driving home, just the two of us, he kept asking insistently for me to put on “Seven Bridges Road.” I finally did, and turned it up. Then happened […]
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 […]
