[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 […]
[17] Point Point Joint
I went to Krazy Eddy’s this morning to get a pastry. It was the first time I’ve done so, as I usually order sandwiches off the menu. But when it comes to donuts or pastries, I get a little anxious. For one, I don’t know the names of things. I mean, I can tell what […]
[16] I Wanna Be Free
Today is a sad day for me. It seems like I’m always the learning of news — bad news — later than the rest of the world. I had been in a meeting. I got back to my desk and checked my Twitter feed on my phone. Then I read a Tweet from a local […]
[15] I Want to Ride My Bicycle, I Want to Ride My Bike
Click on the following link if you need audio: Bicycle Race — Queen. My first bike was pretty fantastic. It was red with white handlebars. It had a soft horn. And it had this plate where it looked like you were supposed to write your name on it. I am not sure, though, because it was […]
[14] Whitney Houston in My Dumber Years
The death of a celebrity doesn’t usually have an impact on me. I did not know them nor really admire them. Sure, I feel sad, but the sadness never punched me. Then it did yesterday. And I will never forget it. My bf and I had been at the movies, so my phone was off […]
[13] Oh Snap! I’ve got the Power!
Looking back, I think cartoons really do rot kids’ brains. Cartoons were pretty much the only form of entertainment I had. But when I did go out, I guess in some ways I tried to re-enact what I saw in my own, less than intelligent way. I must’ve been 5 or so when what I […]
[12] Rollercoast-errr
In some ways, I think my siblings’ love of torturing me was ingrained in their DNA through dear old Dad. My dad is a real ham (more on that in a future post), but he could also be a real jerk. Thanks to him, “amusement” parks have a different meaning to me. There’s no amusement. […]
[11] Would you like a side of beat down?
Let’s face it. Little kids can be a**holes. And I was no exception.I was generally a good student. Heck, I was a teacher’s pet. In second grade, I could swear to you that my teacher would’ve gladly adopted me and called me her own. I always got star stickers and kept my desk clean. I […]

[10] Baby, you *can’t* drive my car
During one of my mad rushes to get in and out of the mall parking lot during the holidays, I was backing out of my parking space and didn’t see that anything was wrong. When I looked at my dash, a red light caught my attention. “Parking Brake On.” Oopsie! I’m no car expert (obviously) […]
