Happy Friday Readers, Happy Friday! I was going to take this space to bitch and moan about this stupid UGA graduate who grates on my nerves with her moronic whining monotone and dumbass questions, but it’s Friday and Pandora is playing Sheena E.

Resurrecting the Resurrection

6 comments

Snniiiiifffff!!! Ahh…Spring. There’s pollen, pollen everywhere (gag!). The potbellied carpenter bees are digging holes in my siding, Atlanta drivers are driving like they have less sense, and Kohl’s advertising budget is on steroids. All these things can only mean one thing: The Easter season is upon us. I love Easter. It’s the one time of […]

I’m Not Weird for Wanting my Own Room – I’m Not.

44 comments

Readers, I’ve got something for you all to judge. What’s your take on this? My husband and I are going through a quiet ‘battle’ concerning whether or not I should be allowed to have my own room when we move to South Africa. If we had the space in our current home, I would have […]

Me, God and the Lottery

0 comments

   I KCQWYT!!! Can you decode the above statement? I bet you can’t! Never fear, I shall explain it to you. After much reflection, I have finally come to understand why God has NOT allowed me to hit the lottery the few times in my life that I’ve played, and probably never will. Oh I’ve […]

Sharting All Over Your Fairytale

0 comments

To shart: the phenomenon through which when farting, a little bit of dookie ends up in your pants. The more I think about marriage, the more I realize that it’s really one of the hardest things a person could ever do successfully. It’s easy to fail at marriage – I mean, all you have to do […]

Stupid Office Acronyms

4 comments

Stop whatever it is you’re doing…right now! If you work in an office, strain your ears and listen closely. Someone is using, or about to use, an office acronym right now.
