  Today while at the gym I managed to belly flop the floor in a wild and crazy attempt to do a burpee. Like. Are you kidding me? It was almost expected as 99 percent of new things that I attempt – especially when it comes to anything athletic – always end up backfiring. But […]

  Atomic Trio Hot Wings? Seriously Julia? Way to be original. However “burn ya bum for dayz” wings definitely would not have been K-rated. But let me tell you, these wings are anything but PG.

Urrrrrrrr #sorrynotsorry Lately I’ve had a thing for whiskey in my […]

Go home Jack Frost, nobody likes you. At least nobody normal likes you. The only thing you did for me was cause a forced night to stay in and drink copious amounts of wine and eat far too many slices of ‘za. And then instead of going to the gym the next day like I SHOULD […]

My sister got my son a full drum set (cymbals & all) for Christmas. I don’t think I have ever hated live music more than I do now. I’m not kidding you. He’s so terrible. He can’t even keep a beat.  You probably think I’m being incredibly harsh and am one of those non-encouraging parents […]
