It’s Alllllllllllll Good

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Glamour does a series in their magazine every month about living your best life. In the column, there is a page listing things that women should not feel guilty about doing, because, hey, we all do them. Some examples are: “It’s OK if you eat a whole bag of doritos right before your period and then hide [...]

And then my heart stopped

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

In order for you to understand, you need to quickly read this.
It’s okay, I will wait.
That guy? Let’s call him Jack. And let’s also keep in mind two things, 1) that I’m horrified that I have become a girl who is using blogging to solely discuss a heartbreaking boy situation and 2) that such a [...]

My hypocritical and unsolicited dating advice

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I posted this last week on my blog, but it seemed to fit pretty well with the theme here, so I decided to do a little double dipping.
***
I have a bit of a secret– I’ve never really dated.
As I’ve remarked before, my adult dating history has been marked primarily by either being in a relationship, [...]

Man, I Feel Like a Woman!

Friday, February 20th, 2009

We all know and love Shania Twain (Correction: I know and love Shania Twain. Sadly, I can’t speak for the rest of you) but we’re not here to talk about pop country music.
When I was three and my younger brother was born, it became explicitly clear to me from the baby blankets that swaddled him and [...]

Thoughts From Someone Who Wore Sweatpants All Day

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

So this week has been ridiculous. Not, “feather boa wearing, ‘oh look I found $100!’, rainbows everyday” sort of ridiculous, it’s been more like “sweet baby J, someone just kill me now so the misery ends“. See the difference?
I have to admit, I wasn’t feeling that inspired to write anything other than ” WHY IS [...]

Reunion

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

My 10 year high school reunion is this summer. Facebook groups have been formed and dates are being thrown around.
I find this both exciting and a little petrifying.
Unlike seemingly the rest of the world, I didn’t hate high school. 
(My last years of elementary and first years of junior high were a whole ‘nother story. My [...]

Too much of a man.

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I recently got a comment on one of my posts that I didn’t quite understand. Those who read my blog may have saw it.
The reader assumed that I watched the show “Bromance”. Which, is an assumption that was hard for me to swallow. I don’t watch that show I swear!
Anyway, aside from that, her comment was [...]

The Big V…and V is for Valentine

Friday, February 13th, 2009

There are two types of people in the world. There are those who hate Valentine’s Day and choose to commemorate February 14 wearing a cheerful shade of green and proclaiming to anyone who will listen that “I’m ignoring Valentine’s Day this year!” with the fervent enthusiasm of a college freshman on the way to his [...]

Childish Ways

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Hey guys! Here is another great submission I received by Travis . Enjoy!
If you’ve ever been to a wedding, chances are you’re familiar with 1 Corinthians 13.  You know, the one that goes, “Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud,” and [...]

Just Plain Tired

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I’m at the point in life where it seems like there are just not enough hours in the day. The work week is busy, and the weekend is busier. There’s just never enough time to sleep.
 
I realize this is normal. A lot of people have full-time jobs plus other weekly commitments (in my case [...]

Even more awkward than PDAs

Monday, February 9th, 2009

It is hard not to cringe at my teenage self. Sometimes this is because a photo of my unfortunate one-side-is-longer-than-the-other hair cut emerges, or I remember the time I wore silver lipstick to school, or I find my old green vinyl jacket. Other times, it is because of my affinity for PDAs.
I don’t think I [...]

when being a best friend sucks

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I have such a big fucking mouth sometimes.
I wish I could learn how to shut up. Especially when I am drunk.
I’ll explain, my best friend is somewhat of a late bloomer. Have you ever seen that movie Failure To Launch? With that ugly chick Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey? I should probably get my [...]

Lemur-like Focus

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Today we have a guest post by Scribbles from the blog of the same name. Enjoy! -Jess
———————–
So often when we’re saving towards bigger goals (and who isn’t, in their 20s?) we focus and save to the exclusion of everything else. Be it a flash new car, house downpayment, a destination wedding or even your very [...]

Hey! We need your help!

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Sugar Daddies… and I’m not talking about the candy!

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Last night I started writing a post for today… but of course, I didn’t have a chance to finish it. It was about a segment I saw on Good Morning America the other day. Take a look…
Click: The Anatomy of Dating a Sugar Daddy
Now tell me your opinion. I was going to give you all [...]
