Just sit right back and I’ll tell you a Cedar Creek Lake tale

July 13, 2011

Here’s how I like to spend vacation time with my family: reading, sitting under the shade, pouring myself a tall, refreshing glass of something, eating Goldfish. See a theme here? I don’t like to get too outside of myself. You want to know why? Debilitating fear of being made fun of. If you’re thinking to [...]

I’m a Panicker: A Cautionary Tale

June 30, 2011

Some people can be described as calm, cool, dare I say collected. And, while I’m a typically laid back kind of female, I am a panicker, which is probably not even a word. It’s not that I don’t know what to do, but it’s that I want to fix the situation so quickly that sometimes [...]

Why I Gave Up TV for a Month (Other Than Being Bats#*t Crazy)

June 25, 2011

It is well documented how much I heart TV, especially of the reality variety (see here, here and here and a million half completed blog posts because I didn’t feel like it was appropriate to tell everyone how much TV I actually watch. Hint: an insane amount) Well, I did something crazy this week and [...]

That One Time I Made a Crab Beg for Mercy

June 18, 2011

Going to Vegas and awkwardly trying to make friends/having a blast/winning a ton of chips was only part 1 of my three part tour de USA during the month of May. Next stop: Annapolis, Maryland, for my cousin’s high school graduation. Did you know that Maryland is actually a Southern state? What the hell? I [...]

The Time I Met Some Strangers in Vegas (sort of…)

May 29, 2011

Remember when you took those personality tests in grade school and high school that gave you the combination of letters that predicted your future? Myers Briggs? I was always something like ENFP, which meant I was outgoing, illogical, emotional and I wouldn’t stab you if we got into an argument most likely. If you got [...]

Things I Will Not Write About

May 18, 2011

I write about a lot of random business so I know it’s probably hard to figure out what I’m going to write next. The anticipation bubbles up in your throat like that time you choked on your Diet Coke and it foamed in your mouth and you thought you were going to die (just me?) [...]

A Breakup Letter

May 10, 2011

Dear Superfluous Sneakers in my Bag, We’re breaking up. It’s not you, it’s me. It actually is me. More specifically, my laziness. You see, I’m tired of you making your way into my suitcase never to make your way out again. I hate the way you look at me and call out my name … [...]

Dang, your face looks threaded!

April 16, 2011

I’m back! All it took for my blog block to get unblocked (other than some friends bugging the bejeebus out of me to get back on it) was getting half of the hair ripped out of my face. I hate beauty treatments. They always backfire in some one. One time, I thought I would give [...]

I’m totally a vulture. No wait, maybe a termite.

February 10, 2011

This is a Valentine’s Day post. I know: totally blech and it makes me want to vomit, too. But, I am here to bring you relevant news and, let’s face it, V-D is totally relevant in ours lives. Hallmark commercials. Chocolate overdosing. Restaurant reservations (for amateurs only, of course!) I don’t have to worry about [...]

I’ll take 12 Soco Lime shots and one egg salad sandwich, please

February 2, 2011

That pretty much sums up my family weekend in Shreveport. Yes, Shreveport. 300 miles away from Dallas, gamblers haven, down market version of Vegas. That Shreveport. Lots of shots. A little bit of eating. Worshipping at the one-armed bandit.  Some horse racing. Daiquiris. Hundred play penny poker. First a little background. Every time one of [...]
