Another reason I need a vacation and/or to lay off the sauce

Last night, while inspecting the gloriousness of my Target purchases, I checked the back of the liquid hand soap to see how many calories were in it.

The music, however, was still too damn loud.

I got highlights yesterday. Suffice it to say it had been some time since the last, as in post-senior prom but pre-BlogHer. I was not looking good. (As in I was slightly worried that my coworkers in the coming days might start referring me to the closest shelter.) I’ve also been highly irritable. The hives [...]

Red-templated stepchild

So you know how you really love your scrumptious children? How you adore them so much that you stand beyond a door ajar and watch them napping and sometimes get your breath caught in your throat when you think about being their parent?

Urticaria, the Internet tells me they’re called, what we [...]

The story of the most recent date, told in most circuitous fashion with multiple dessert references.

I really like chocolate chip mint ice cream. I’ve tried a lot of different flavors in my life, and you know what? It just does it for me. Coffee, vanilla, strawberry – even chocolate brownie chunk, the namesake of my thighs – they’re all good, but I prefer chocolate chip mint to most any variety. [...]

nostrakimus

Last night was the first time I saw the new man since the - *cough* - incident. Kim showered me with tough love advice before the date.
Kim’s thoughts as to how the night should go:
