Free Beer for Articles of Clothing
A friend of mine put this ad on my Facebook wall, and I absolutely had to share it. I have a feeling it will hands-down beat any Superbowl ad, but we shall see. I can’t decide if my favorite part of the video is, “That’s my pen,” or the delivery guy running into the wall. […]

My Leg Hair Looks Like a Dude
In a fit of being in our 30s and wanting to sit in a comfortable chair and falling asleep in front of the television before going to bed at a reasonable hour, Husband and I bought two recliners. Now several years later, we would rather sit all together on a couch, especially as the two […]

It’s Easy to Track Blood Sugar With a Smart Phone
Diabetes (pronounced dia-bee-tusss) is a pain, quite literally. Once diagnosed as pre-diabetic, I am especially sensitive to blood sugar and diabetes news and preventative measures (Hence my lifetime commitment to changing my relationship with food). Those living with diabetes have to deal with lancing devices, strip vials,blood sugar monitors, and pouches, along with constant vigilance […]

Marital Conflicts are Blips on the Radar
Like going to the dentist, marital conflicts are never a “one and done” proposition. When we were younger, Husband and I tried quite a few strategies to try and get out of conflict that we simply didn’t want to face, like withdrawal, silence, blaming, yelling, crying, denial, leaving the house, bossing, insulting, and – eventually […]

Unearned Shame and Guilt are Dumb
There’s been a lot of death and darkness this week, not just for me. All of us are grieving together for amazing people who, while 69, were taken too soon, in my opinion. David Bowie was just plain awesome, and part of me has always been in love with Alan Rickman. On top of this […]

Beating PTSD with Awesome Stand Up Comedy
About an hour before theStand Up for Mental Health show was to start, I found myself crouched in a bathroom stall, crying uncontrollably. We’re talking full-scale sobbing as I sat on the toilet. My eyes were puking tears. Granted, rehearsal hadn’t been great, but I have tackled bigger challenges in my short and stuttering stand […]

The Best Way Lazy Parents Can Monitor Kids’ Electronics
I am by no means the perfect parent. Even though I am hounding all of you out there about having an Electronics Contract with your kids, this doesn’t mean that I am even close to having a handle on this crap.
