Dating abyss

date2

I was out chatting with my friend the other day and for some reason I became “Ms. Desperate for a boyfriend”. It was noticeable, which is not me. Not that I’m some leper who shuns all physical contact but I’m not the “God! I really just want a guy to hold me!” type. Except, I [...]

In which I am a sellout to Christian Grey and other things

50-shades-of-grey

Ok I have to admit I broke down and borrowed 50 Shades of Grey from Giara at Fatty vs. Food. I was *this* close to buying it on Amazon to read on my Kindle. I figured if I was going to hate on the book, I probably should at least try to read it. Sadly, [...]

A prude in a sea of pervs?

disapproves

I honestly never thought I’d be the one writing this post. I don’t consider myself a puritan, stuffed shirt, or prude by any sense of the words but lately, there’s been a few moments of the odd that just, for lack of a better phrase, rubs me the wrong way. It all started with 50 [...]

Pictures from the weekend!

This used to be a speak easy

Five Minute Friday

5-minute-friday-1

I found this little writing prompt via Rubber Chicken Madness. She lead me to The Gypsy Mama who does Five Minute Friday. Five minute timer, you write no holds barred for those five minutes thinking on a word and this week’s word? Good bye. Good bye. Once upon a time there was a shy sensitive [...]

In which stuff gets real

Nothing like putting a picture of your zits on the internets

If you are not an avid fan of gore, too much information, that sorta thing, you might want to avoid the ole vixen blog today as I’m about to get real about the zit on my nose. Yeah, that one bedazzled by the arrow in the picture. Yes, I take pictures of my face like [...]

The tax man cometh.

I have to get my taxes done. I can not honestly think of anything short of a root canal (which I’ve never had, thank god) that I despise more than getting my taxes done. Math is not my forte. Math isn’t even something I want to think about. Math in itself is something I avoid [...]

Air conditioned lifestyle

I apologize for this post in advance as I’m running on caffeine and sugar only. Yesterday, April 1st was one of the hottest days this year. It got up to a balmy 86 degrees in our house. Humid, hot and sticky.Why you ask? Oh because our 2 year old air conditioner decided to just shoot [...]

Remember this name

I’m sure you’ve heard the name Trayvon Martin in the last few days. You probably know all about the case of the supposed killing of a 17 year old boy that did nothing but walk down the street with a bag of skittles by another man. How could you not? There’s was a protest about [...]

Rutherford B. Hayes

Most awesome chicken in the world!

As lame as it might sound, on Monday nights, my parents and I cozy up after dinner and watch Antiques Roadshow. I LOVE the Antiques Roadshow! I love it because most of the time I can’t believe some of the crap on there that’s actually worth something. This along with all the genealogy I have [...]
