My husband claims that he’s not the jealous type. But he is SO jealous. And it’s dumb because I’m always at home. I’ve been at home for 6 years working nonstop at my computer. I have three children. I do stuff like change diapers and wash laundry–the few occasions when I go out, I don’t see that there is any reason to be jealous. But BOY does my husband get all nervous.  Especially if I am at a social function that men are also attending, such as a work par... Read Full Story

It seems like a good time for a Sexy Boss update. But first, quick recap: I got a new job, and my boss is hot. Also, I’m happily married, so during those rare instances (extremely, extremely rare) when I think a man is hot, I stay far away from him. For this reason, I’m VERY happy I don’t have to work in the office with my boss. (My job is home-based.) SO, here are updates: At first, I thought Sexy Boss was sort of dumb, though good at managing people. So, he was handsome&#... Read Full Story

I have set a non-blogging record. I think it has been over a month since I’ve posted. Oh, life is crazy! But fun and good. I’m trying new things—-quite ambitious things. So ambitious, in fact, that I’m embarrassed to tell you what they are.  BUT I will definitely let you know if I succeed. If I fail, however, I will make up a lie that isn’t as embarrassing as the truth, and I’ll post that…No, I don’t like to lie on my blog. Only in person. (Hah... Read Full Story

A common occurrence took place as I was on a walk yesterday–but I responded differently this time than ever before. I was strolling with my one-year-old, and a lady passed by and smiled at him. Then she looked up and asked with surprise and a tad of judgment, “Is he YOURS?” I said “Yes,” and she squinted her eyes and added, “So yooooooung.” Then, as I always do in that situation, I added, “I’m in my 30’s.” Everyone does that.

I have an acquaintance who is a beautiful actress. She has been on many shows and now has a regular role on one. She’s one of those people who is so beautiful that she elicits…people-pleasing behavior from others. Like if she forgets money to pay at a cash register, the cashier smiles really nicely and says with great joy “I’ll PAY, I’LL PAY!!! I’m HAPPY to PAY!!!” Then when it’s my turn, someone gets in front of me and when I try to insist on g... Read Full Story

Blog, blog, where for art thou, Blog? HA HA! I haven’t written in a month, and I was contemplating how that happened when that quote popped into my head. Is it just me, or did that sound funny? You could apply it to anything…for example, in my husband’s case, we could say things such as this: 1) Job, job, where for art though, job? 2) Shower, shower, where for art though, shower? 3) Help cleaning, help cleaning know-how, where for art though, help  cleaning? Those are the tw... Read Full Story

It’s hard to find a husband. Or at least to find the right husband. I remember dating. I liked it (okay, loved it), except when I was on a date with a mean guy, charmer type, user, cheapskate, compulsive liar, drug addict, superficial bragger, or another loser…Finding the perfect partner seemed impossible, and at some point, I remember thinking it was never going to happen. If I’d known how great " target="_blank">Matchmaker.com is for helping ladies find a good man to marry, I would h... Read Full Story

Life is just plain crazy (but fun!). I loved my old job, but ended up getting called for this interview. I went, and to make a long story short, now I have a new job! My old job was SEO writing. My new job involves affiliate marketing. It’s really fun. I like my coworkers.  I also like the work. The icing on the cake, however, was an unexpected surprise that I didn’t discover until my 2nd interview when I was already completely excited about this new job–the icing I am refe...

My husband still comes up with some shocking viewpoints. Every once in a while, he’ll make a statement that’s just pure genius–those moments I savor. However, he also occasionally makes a statement that reveals cluelessness about society, life, and all things real and normal–and I mean in a way that takes the word “oblivious” to unchartered territory. We’re not talking different plain or different planet. We’re talking different stratosphere, po... Read Full Story

We all have annoying habits. I know that. But my husband has a new habit…a better word might be ritual, and the fact that “ritual” has a frightening connotation happens to fit the context of this new thing perfectly. See that photo of the two bottles of water (above)? Well, take a minute to observe, and then tell me–which of these things is not like the other? (Sorry, I think I need three bottles to ask that question–I just like saying it.) Okay, so obviously, t... Read Full Story
