Family

We babysat my nephew, Max, and niece, Mia, so that my brother, and his wife, could go out and eat ONE...DAMN...MEAL...sitting together from start to finish. Burp. ...Continue Reading »

We’re back...less a couple layers of skin off our butts, but we're back! We spent a little time in the Wisconsin Dells this last weekend sloshing and screaming our way down miles of oversized plumbing. But seriously, I enjoy a good water slide.

I’ll be out of arm's reach of my keyboard for the next couple of days. I usually find the prospect of navigating through the many hours of the day without the guidance of my Twitter feed or FaceBook updates akin to making lane changes on the Chicago Loop without side mirrors.

'Woot, woot!'

I wasn’t entirely sure whether or not to write this post. But then I thought, you guys are adults. You understand that life isn’t just rainbows and squirrels covered in sparkles. I can give it to you straight. And if I’m wrong, well then, I guess a few of you will probably make a mini throw-up in your mouth.

As I mentioned here and here, our weekend started out with projectile vomit. And then it got gross. And no, this will not run amok into a poop post, unless you count that incident  with our cat making diarrhea in the tub as a poop post. Then yes, you’re in for a whole lot of shit. ...Continue Reading »
