[22] If I Were a Boy…
I knew a kid that loved to collect and (sadly) torture bugs, read up and write about dinosaurs, and watch He-Man. That kid was yours truly. I loved bugs! I used to look under rocks and pick up the most colorful and unique-looking bugs. My favorite was what I called the “clicker” bug (aka “jumping […]
[21] I’m Beachy. And you?
I’ve lived in SoCal for most of my life. So, it’s no surprise I like the beach, even though I don’t know how to swim, hate crowds and wouldn’t dare be caught dead in anything less than burqa-esque attire. Last weekend (after much begging and pleading in the past), my boyfriend finally took me to […]
Shop SHOP SHOPPPPP! (Please!)
As much as we deny it, we need stuff — video games, jewelry, clothes, shoes, and hygiene products. But if you tend to get lazy like me, it’s too much of a hassle to get dressed and go to the store. But today is your lucky day! I’ve added a link to my Amazon store […]
[20] Pulling for Pennies
I think even when I turn 80, I will still be haunted by the question “Want to pull?” Those three little words send a shiver down my spine. I’d hear these words when I had my first paying “job.” And I had a very demanding boss. My job was plucking out white hairs and my […]
[Read All About It] Twiporn? Nah! Fifty Shades of OH MY? Yes!
I love writing, but reading is a whole different story. Whenever I pick up a book, I start yawning before I can turn the page. That (sort of) changed when my friend turned me on to the Twilight series. Since then, I have had some faith in some of her suggested reading. After dodging a […]
[We Be Jammin’] The Arrogant Butcher
No, this blog isn’t about a bad experience at the meat counter. It’s about a restaurant that is called The Arrogant Butcher. (Actually, I had originally typed “Arrogant Bastard” and wrote, “No, this isn’t about my boyfriend.” Oopsie. Freudian Slip! Yeah, that’s it!) Two things before I continue: 1. This wasn’t our first choice. The […]
Bear-i-zona! Bear-i-zona! Bearizona! Bearizona!
Last week I turned another year older, so naturally I needed to get away from the daily grind. My boyfriend graciously took me on a trip to our neighboring state Arizona. I knew we would hit up one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but everything else was going to be a surprise. Upon […]
[White Gold Deal] Hoops I Did It Again
I have relied on Amazon for a lot of things. But there was one thing that made me weary — jewelry. Most of my jewelry has come from a brick and mortar store. I mean, going into a store and seeing all the rings and necklaces and jewels shining under those millions of lights is […]

[19] Just Add Water! Oh Yeah!
I was in the grocery store and came across something called “Belly Washers.” Mm. It made me think of a time when the “colored stuff” was all that I drank. There was a time when “just add water” was a way of life when it came to drinks. They came in various, delectable forms — […]

[18] The Tooth Fairy: Revealed
I was watching an episode of Family Ties (The title is “Oops” if you want to google it.) For me, I’ll always think of it as the show that ruined my childhood. I thought I was a pretty bright kid. From an early age, I knew Santa Claus wasn’t real. I knew the Easter Bunny wasn’t […]
