It’s the weekend of the fourth and we are expecting an unholy amount of rain. Which i am 90 percent looking forward to due to the fact that my entire family is signed up for a “freedom” race at 7AM (like what??) and the thought of running one mile makes my legs ache, so three, hungover, […]

Oh the joys of summer dieting….. said absolutely no one ever. The fact that last years shorts could easily be mistaken for a bikini bottom due to the increase in size of my tail wagon is not helping my current situation in any way, shape or form. If there was a non invasive method for stomach […]

I’ve got a thing for ‘taters. More specifically tots.  And I also really love this scene in Napoleon Dynamite, which I am pretty sure increased tater tot sales by…. oh I don’t know…. 500000 percent. Or more. Definitely more. And if that left you numb, then I’m #sorrynotsorry. But I also love hasselback potatoes. They […]

I was looking pretty rough yesterday after a long weekend of obviously drinking a ton of water and green juice, that I decided to take my unfortunately pale body with day old mascara for a nice jog through the park. And being the Jersey girl that I am, there is nothing that a little GTL can’t fix. Everything […]

I’m in the middle of a move and I seriously wish someone would flatten me like a pancake or Mike Tyson me out cold. All I want to do is crawl into a dark space with an IV drip of Tim Smiths finest until this whole thing is over with and then have prince charming banana bag me […]

Every day I’m hassling. No, seriously, I am. Sweet potato hasselbacks are literally exploding in my kitchen. I made so damn much that I have enough to last me a life time. My freezer looks as though I’m a doomsday prepper. That or just another mid westerner preparing for the next twister to lift me off […]

GUYS ITS FINALLY BASEBALL SEASON! And I literally couldn’t care less. Well, I couldn’t have cared less until I moved to St. Louis. You basically have to root for the Cardinals in order to be socially accepted into any circle. Granted my circle might just be me and my son, however, I’m pretty sure he […]
