Put your hands in the air if you are as excited as I am about the Super Bowl. The commercials, live music performances (fingers crossies that Queen ‘Yonce OR Adam Levine pulls a Janet Jackson. I’d be satisfied with either) and most importantly the food. And during all of this glory there will be big sweaty men tackling […]

This winter weather is really starting to piss me off. Honestly? I find it comparable to sharting.  But seriously. I know that is just such a horrifying term but this weather is such a teaser. It’s like it wants to snow, but then it doesn’t quite really want to, so instead it just gives you a […]

I’m tired. I’m so tired that I’ve accidentally kicked my clicker under the couch and am ‘stuck’ watching the Kardashians marathon that is slowly turning my brain in to overcooked pasghetti.  What you don’t know is that I love overcooked pasghetti, so bring it.

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 […]

I’ve been anxiously waiting to post this recipe, and was planning on holding on to it for Friday but it’s just too good NOT to share with you right meow. I wouldn’t feel right as I’m on my third day of making this for dinner and I plan on making it again this weekend. I really […]

With weight-loss goals and “cleaner” eating being the trend for January (thank God for the February drop off) I decided the junk in my trunk needed to ride the horse and drop some l-bs. Or maybe ride a pony. Definitely a mini pony. There is no way my holiday legs are lifting higher than an inch […]

  If you’re anything like me, you have invited family and friends over to celebrate you being a terrible introvert and realized that ringing in the New Year completely solo might not be the best thing for both you and your liver. Kidding, If you are anything like me then you will just think about how […]
