Sunday I made cheddar jalapeno cornbread to go with the pot of pinto beans I had been craving. The beans were really simple; I just added a little onion, a smidge of garlic powder, and enough beef bouillon to give them color. I’ve never been much for cooking (I hate it) but I used to bake a lot. And yet this was my…

Some people look fantastic with bangs. I am not one of those people. But you ARE.

My husband and I eloped to Barbados and told no one. Only a few amateurish photos were taken. Upon seeing them, my mother’s only comment (even though I was wearing a black dress and veil) was “Why do you have bangs??”

My husband took me all the way to Minnesota to witness this after I read about it in a mystery novel. It was a glorious thing to behold (although I wonder if it would have been half as awesome if I hadn’t been full of deep fried things at the time).

We have something similar where I live. I’ve only been for stand-up comedy shows and to see Cinematic Titanic. The food is really good and they have giant comfy office chairs.

I had a pro bono (“court appointed”) client at the law firm like that. He showed up at 12:30 p.m. at least once per week without calling, and would act surprised that the attorney was at lunch. Every time, I explained to him that Rusty went to lunch from noon to 1:00 p.m. every day, and until/unless Rusty knew he had…

I will sadly NOT be going to my neighborhood’s Oktoberfest and EATING ALL THE THINGS, because it got postponed to next weekend. Seriously, I look forward to this so much every freaking year...stupid hurricane.

I hate it when everything is as long as that damned cami. I’m struggling with that today. I have a very warm cowlneck top on that’s great for this weather, except that it’s way the hell too long to tuck in but also so long that it looks stupid not tucked in.

I have IC, which makes it extremely painful to hold it. And I mean EXTREMELY. And I’ve never done this. Even I can wait two minutes.

He told officers he found Berry in a pool of blood in the bathroom after she allegedly tossed the child out the window. She insisted it was just from her period, Johnson told detectives.

I blot pizza if it’s greasy. I have always blotted anything deep fried. I always blotted my Steak ‘Ums. Not because I thought it was “healther” or “less calories” (please...I’m eating Steak ‘Ums for crying out loud!) but because I didn’t like the taste or feel of the excess grease/oil. I was actually worse for this as…

One of my old bosses decided to give tiny bottles of champagne with their names on it and the date of the wedding. That sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Except that a bunch of the bottles were broken on arrival. Our front office smelled like booze for days. And guess who had to wipe all the unbroken ones off?

The only reason I didn’t buy it was because we were on our way to a show at the Improv and I didn’t want to cart it around.

For a while last night, I was happily convinced that this news was a hoax. Twin Peaks will not be the same without her.

I’ve been in a similar situation, except it was a neck pillow. I stopped for photos.

Yet another Jennifer by birth. I got stuck being “Jenny” and HATED it - honestly while I wasn’t fond of Jennifer, either, it would have been preferable.

I don’t care for Amy Poehler. But I have zero idea who that guy is.

I can’t speak to using an agent for personal travel. But my company uses two different travel agents for business travel. One is a big corporate agency that I won’t name. They prefer you to book through their website (which defeats the purpose in my opinion) and they are NOT proactive if you have a problem. If you get…

As cute as that ginormous bunny is, I am glad I do not have to clean up after it. (Our Rex was litter trained to perfection, but the wild hare we had was only litter trained when she felt like it.)

I have Interstitial Cystitis, which is a horribly painful, inconvenient, bladder condition that annoys the absolute hell out of everyone in my life. Even with my medical condition, I think I would rather die than do what she did - and this coming from someone who has been in bladder pain so bad she’s cried from it.
