Meet My Husband–Mr. How Not To Wear

Sunday, August 17, 2008

I wasn’t going to say anything.  I really wasn’t.  But the more I think about it, the more I’m just so completely dumbfounded by the absolute retardedness of it all that I can’t possibly keep quiet.
So Friday afternoon I get an email from my husband at work. Here’s the email:
Subject: Damn, My Shirt has been Inside Out ALL DAY!

I [...]

The Olympics, trampolines, and why is our society so freakish?

Friday, August 15, 2008

And just when you thought nothing could get more random that synchronized diving, we decided to celebrate the Olympics at our house by starting a brand new sport:  co-ed naked trampoline bouncing.  Although I’m thinking certain anatomical challenges might make this sport less than attractive for the adult male population of our species.  Plus there’s the FCC to consider.  [...]

Skye makes another splash and Fergie goes on vacation

Thursday, August 14, 2008

You never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. Take Skye, for instance.
One day, she’s basking in the sun without a care in the world:

The next, disaster strikes in the form of an absent hot tub cover:

It’s like the epitomy of the Project Runway slogan, only in reverse: One day [...]

Moms behaving badly….

Monday, August 11, 2008

This past Sunday, ten moms plus one taken woman booked a suite at the Marriott in downtown San Diego, used that as home base, then went out on the town for a night of drunken debauchery and badness.  Okay, so maybe there wasn’t much debauchery, but there was plenty of badness in the form of our alcohol-infused stumbling gyrations [...]

Bunco woes

Friday, August 8, 2008

I had my monthly Bunco game last night. Although supposedly a dice game, what Bunco really represents is a thinly veiled excuse for a bunch of women to escape from the old homestead and drink beer (and in last night’s case, margaritas and Mojitos).  Our group consists mostly of moms which basically means our games rate higher on the [...]

Next Great Purge Contest—Win random stuff from my closet!

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Obviously my husband has found out about my minor little prank of listing his favorite golf driver on ebay.  And he’s actually taking it very well.  Which makes me suspicious that he has already purchased another club of Brobdingnagian proportions and price elsewhere.  Or is planning to.  So if any of you are listing golf [...]

Buy a golf club, save a marriage

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Do’s and Don’ts of  listing your hubby’s favorite golf driver on ebay without telling him:
1)  Do not mistakenly use his ebay account instead of your own to list club as strangely, ebay updates are sent to account holder’s email address.  Unless husband is too dense to decipher emails saying such things as, “Notice–your wife’s listing of your favorite Callaway [...]

How to sell your husband’s crap on ebay and not tell him

Sunday, August 3, 2008

Has your husband ever made you SO angry and scream SO loudly that your vocal cords burst from your throat and smacked him straight upside the head?  No?  Okay so maybe that didn’t happen here either.  But you know it’s bad when I’m seriously digging the visual.
Usually after going postal in my brain for a few hours, I [...]

And my least favorite bodily fluid is…

Monday, July 21, 2008

Everybody’s a fashion critic these days—even Finley.   And here’s what she had to say about my Tar-jay bling bling sandals:

(In case you’re wondering—yes, that is a gi-normous pile of baby spit-up.  On my foot.)
So they’re obviously not Manolos.  But really, are they that bad? 

Well, we obviously know Finley’s opinion.  Then again, just about anything can make [...]

80’s music list, high school reunions, and Martin Fry, please forgive me

Friday, July 18, 2008

My mom used to say, “Everybody has a talent.”  Or maybe that was Claire Huxtable.  At any rate, the important thing to note here is that I subscribe to this theory. 
Unfortunately for me, not all talents are created equal. 
For example, my ”special” ability involves remembering impossibly random 80’s songs and lyrics.  This skill (and I use that [...]
