Happy Global Handwashing Day

Happy Global Handwashing Day

You know how I have a little issue with being all judgy (I'm working on it--truly). Well I'm going to own this bit of judgement. Own and keep it and perpetuate it in fact. I think people who don't wash their hands when they go to the toilet are [...]

The inner thigh gap

The inner thigh gap

My daughter and I were taking a long walk this morning (yep, I got over not talking to her) when the subject of the inner thigh gap came up. She tells me that guys are mad for it and there are facebook sites dedicated to the inner thigh gap. Who [...]

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day

There’s a list of ugly baby names

There’s a list of ugly baby names

That Twitter is an amazing research device. Really we should just rid of all those people who do research for a job and just listen to Twitter. It's got its finger on the pulse of the world. (I just made that up but if anyone thinks it workable in [...]

Friday inspiration

Happy Friday everyone.  To set you up in the good mood you deserve to be in for the next three days check out this cute clip.  Normally I'm not a cat fan, but that could change.

I’m off the drink again. Wrong month. Again.

I’m off the drink again.  Wrong month. Again.

Gosh it seems like only yesterday that I gave up drinking in what I like to call Dry August. That was in 2010. Quite a long time ago. I stole the term Dry August from the Dry July campaign that ran the month before. I'm a little slow at catching on [...]
