This made it clear to me that I need to, should, compile an inventory of pedicure etiquette. As a result of ya’ll have dangerous manners. Actually dangerous manners.

Swimming |

You most likely

Kings of Leon |

friendship |

Clearly, she followed the rules. Did you know that? There are serious and not to be broken rules to leg waxing. I know. I was shocked too. So, I’ve recently decided to start waxing my legs instead of shaving them. I’m sick of razors and hassle and having to shave every other day. It’s not

Singing |
Whenever you hear the song “if you’re happy and you know it…” you should always clap your hands. If you weren’t happy then clapping will make you happy. Or get out a little aggression depending on how hard you clap. Either way- it’s a win. If you are anywhere near funnel cakes, stop and buy

I Joined Twitter Because My Blog is an Attention Whore |
August 9, 2010 by This is true. My blog is a complete attention whore. Somehow it’s taken on a life of it’s own and grown away from my shyness. It’s like in Little Shop of Horrors when the plant grows so big and starts eating people but Seymour is just a slave to it anyway.

women |
Ladies, why are we so hard on one another? Why do we spend countless hours berating, degrading, gossiping, and judging one another? Why do we have to put so much effort into hurting one another? How about a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T and a lot less H-A-T-I-N-G? I don’t get it. I truly don’t. And that’s

men |

Forsooth.
I wonder why we don’t say “forsooth” more often. It’s so deliciously snarky. According to Le Dictionary, it’s “used to give an ironic politeness to questions”. For real y’all. Ironic politeness. That’s a thing and that’s a thing I need to make more use of. For example, next time one of my friends starts dating

August 24, 2012 by For real though, I’m buying this shirt. I have a new theory in life- things that scare and intimidate you are just boggarts. As such, when you come across these things or these people, you must laugh at them. They must become a joke in your mind, thereby freeing you from

The Even Newer And More Un-Official Saved By The Bell.
July 25, 2012 by Since 1994 their has been something missing in my life. Something I once cherished above all other things. Something that needs to re-launched. That something is Saved By The Bell.

Things I Worry About
I’m the girl who worries about things like…. Sneezing with my eyes open and causing my eyeballs to pop out.

You Heard It Here First: I’m Nervous
June 15, 2012 by I’m meeting some very important people this weekend and I am very importantly nervous about it. What if they don’t like awkward weirdos with bizarre interests and an imaginary pet unicorn named Walter? What will I do??? My Grammy suggested I just smile a lot and look them in the eyes.

St. Valentine the Elusive
February 11, 2010 by The fact of the matter is no one truly knows who St. Valentine was and what exactly he did. Most people believe that he was a Priest who was jailed, beaten, and beheaded during the reign of Claudius the Goth. So what is it that qualifies him to help us find

Imaginary Glitter Explosion Therapy
June 14, 2012 by This is what imaginary carnage looks like. Sometimes, and usually completely out of the blue, life will start to suck. Bad things will happen and you will feel like your entire life is ruined and that nothing will ever make you smile or laugh again. That’s when I turn to imaginary

Toxic Mutant Spiders Aren’t My *Favourite* Factor About Residing In Texas.
June 13, 2012 by I’ve been bitten y’all. Bitten by a toxic mutant spider from hell and never within the good “now I get to be spider-woman” kind of approach, however extra within the “I assumed my leg was going to fall off and possibly I used to be going to die” kind of approach.

The Great Chili Cheese Burrito Quest

The Thing With Daggers
February 11, 2010 by What new bit of insanity is this? Surely, my heart is having a lark- a laugh- as most fools do. To be pulling and pushing my thoughts to the desire I had forsaken. Still forsake! Don’t I? Time also is a part of this trick, to make me forget, to weaken

Y’all are going to be so jealous after reading this that you don’t have Grandmothers like mine. For shiz. Prepare yourself for some classic Grammy.

The Truth About Fire Ants.
Here in Tejas, we have fire ants. And those fire ants will occasionally bite you. And that literally stings- they aren’t called fire ants for nothing. Of course, my first instinct is to squash the thing that bit me and that’s what I do. I slap the hell out of that fire ant and send

A Year In Books- Postponed
November 28, 2011 by So, I’m still sticking to my resolution but I haven’t quite finished the books I started reading last week. I was very distracted by Thanksgiving and spent the remaining days in a food induced coma. But, no fear! I read multiple books in past weeks so, I’m still ahead of the

Grammy Is Becoming A Diva.
August 5, 2011 by Seriously you guys, I’m worried about Grammy. She’s gone gaga……get it? Gaga??

Wordle To Your Mother.

Saved By The Bell Changed My Life
August 31, 2010 by Growing up, I loved Saved by the Bell. When I say “loved”, what I really mean is “obsessed.” I didn’t miss an episode. I took a very personal (some would say emotionally disproportionate) interest in the lives of Zack, Kelly, Jesse, Slater, Lisa, and Screech. I learned a lot from that

That Mirror I Was Dancing In?? Yeah, It Was A Window.
November 10, 2010 by This is a true story. I don’t know why I felt the need to preface it as a true story, I just did. You really won’t have any trouble believing this of me at all. In fact, if anything, you will be surprised it hasn’t happened before this. So it goes.

Things I Would Do If I Were Stuck In An Elevator
November 5, 2010 by My company moved offices last week. Our old building had elevators that were covered in mirrors that made you look really fat. They hurt my self-esteem on a daily basis. So, I was pretty excited to see the elevators at the new office were not mirrored. Well, I was excited about

Resolution:2011
January 3, 2011 by It’s that time of year (you know, the beginning) when people make resolutions. So far, in life, I have a pretty poor resolution keeping record. But, I’m pretty sure that’s because those resolutions were always about losing weight or working out. Basically, I’ve always gone with the cliche resolutions. Lame-o. So,

A Year In Books: Week 3
January 24, 2011 by Mary Tudor- Princess, Bastard, Queen by Anna Whitelock was my choice for last week. I think the best way for me to review/discuss this book is in the form of a letter to Queen Mary Tudor herself because I’m sure she has some Google Alerts out on her name and therefore

Trick or Treating Etiquette- or- Historical Costumes Get More Candy

What I Want The World To Know.
Someone asked me the other day what I would want to say on this blog if I knew it would be my last post. They wanted to know what I would want the world to know if I could say whatever I wanted. What a sucker. I’m pretty sure I owned their brain after that

Hey, Checkout Lady. You suck.
I’ve always liked going to the grocery store. Always. Until yesterday. Now the grocery store will forever be linked with a major decline in my self-esteem. All because of the lady at the register. She sucks. So I wrote her a letter. Dear Checkout Lady aka She who sucks, I was in your store yesterday

Jake Gyllenhaal Was On Man v. Wild and I Got A Little Silly.
July 12, 2011 by So last night, Jake Gyllenhaal was on Man v. Wild. To say that I was thrilled and a little giddy would probably only cover about 1/10th of what I was feelings. My inner 13 year old was all over this. If you aren’t familiar with Man v. Wild, it’s a show

Happily Ever After.
September 9, 2010 by You know why I like movies with happy endings? Because, I fully recognize that in reality those things rarely if ever happen at all, so I like to have a little happily ever after in my fiction. The reason I bring this up is because lately it seems like there is

My Heart’s a Drummer
March 16, 2010 by And lately it feels as if it is going to beat out of my chest. There is something new, something happening, and I’m not sure what it is. I feel on the verge of something- something incredible and life changing and I haven’t the slightest as to what it could be.

Books
Last week I read One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. Now it may come as a surprise that I had never read this book before. But if that shocked you then you are really going to be blown away by the fact I’ve never seen the movie either. (Patiently waits for heads

Again, I’m Not Your Target Audience
A little while ago, I wrote a post about not being the target audience for the Bruno Mars song ‘Grenade’, and ever since I wrote that post, I find myself dissecting every song I hear on the radio. It’s becoming quite the bad habit and it usually involves me singing along enthusiastically until I realize
Hold Your Bras In The Air If You’re With Me!!!
Ladies, why are we so hard on one another? Why do we spend countless hours berating, degrading, gossiping, and judging one another? Why do we have to put so much effort into hurting one another? How about a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T and a lot less H-A-T-I-N-G? I don’t get it. I truly don’t. And that’s

A Year In Books.
Last week I read I Was Told There Would Be Cake by Sloane Crosley. It’s a collection of essays, which are really just artfully retold scenes from Crosley’s life. I was enthralled from the first page.
