self love

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Me: Oh, by the way, I’m going to have to use your deodorant. I ran out.
Hubby: Ummm ok…
Me: Oh, and I think I’ll have to use your soap too. I’m almost out.
Hubby: So you’re going to smell like a dude?
Me: Well, I’m going to smell like you.
Hubby: That’s kind of hot.
Me: Wow…Just when I think [...]

vicious cycle

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Lately I’ve been hearing some very bad nutrition advice coming from the mouths of young women. I grew up with a mom who was a kinesiology major and a major health nut, and I have written and edited a lot of articles about nutrition, so I guess I just assume certain things are common knowledge.

that’s what friends are for

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Dear Readers:
It has been brought to my attention that certain friends are in the process of trying to get knocked up. Since said friends are among my last remaining friends that are sans children, this completely freaks me out concerns me.

redneck anniversary

Monday, July 14th, 2008

five years

chick flicks

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I’m going to let y’all in on a little secret. I’m not real into chick flicks. That’s right. I said it. You can revoke my chick card now. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy one every once in awhile. And there are a few I really love (*sigh* “Return to Me”). It’s just obnoxious [...]

river trip

Monday, July 7th, 2008

This weekend, we participated in a popular Texas summertime ritual: the river trip. For those who aren’t familiar, this involves gathering 20 of your closest friends (or in our case - twelve) and spending the weekend floating the Guadalupe and/or Comal River.

River trips often require an amazing amount of planning and logistics because coordinating a [...]
