A few weeks ago I told you guys about my amazing friend who has cancer. I’ve decided to continue my funny support by doing a weekly (ok, fine, mostly weekly) Friday Funnies for Cancer. I’ll share some of the funniest things I’ve seen on the interwebs during the week before, feature some special guests with […]
7 Signs You’ve Got a Threenager
Last week I sat down and wrote this post, with my tongue quite firmly placed in my cheek. Then yesterday I spent EIGHT hours trapped in the metal hull of a speeding 777 with my threenager. My tongue has been removed from my cheek. Sometimes I really hate being right. Forget everything they say about […]
What I Learned from an 86 Year Old Adventurer
Growing up in the Deep American South, I was encouraged to do a lot of things, but running off to California was not one of them.

My Man, the MILF and Other Marital Challenges
“Al and I will take the kids to the pool tomorrow. You and T can have the morning off,” he says nonchalantly. It isn’t until I am halfway through my peaceful mug of cappuccino that I realize that I’ve quite obviously missed something. Why has my husband suddenly turned into Mr. Nice Guy? The answer […]
Finding the Funny in Cancer
A good friend of mine was recently diagnosed with cancer. When someone you love says to you, “I have brain tumors,” your own brain either immediately shuts down or else it starts to run around like a squirrel hunting nuts. The one thing it does not do is function properly and as a result, you […]
