On bad public bathrooms
My brother decided to start an enlightening discussion on his blog recently about memorable places to, uhm, do your business. You can read all about that here if you want. As you will see in the comments, it got me thinking not about what goes on so much in the bathrooms but about the bathrooms…

100 bottles of beer on the wall
My apologies for the blurriness of this photo, but considering it’s of a beer card and I took the photo at a bar after having a few of these beers, I think it’s appropriate. Artistic, even? Ha, I won’t go there… This isn’t my beer card; it’s Chris’. I’m not the one finishing the beer…

“You work for a hotel? Hey, hook me up with a discount!”
So the great thing about having my best friend work for a hotel is a hotel discount is never too far away. Unfortunately for her, a lot of other people feel the same way and she’s constantly juggling phone calls from people wanting the hookup. She’s not-so-jokingly referred to herself many times as the “family…

Dogs still inside, WWIII has not happened.
So, a week and a half later and the dogs are still inside and still alive, so all is well on this front … There have been very few issues, actually. One little bathroom mishap the first time I let the dogs in my home office, but I made sure to spray all kinds of…

Dogs in the house Day 1
Anyone who knows Jeff probably thinks this is either April Fool’s Day or I’ve just completely revolted against his no-dogs-in-the-house policy. Neither of these are true. Seven years ago, when Jeff and I moved in together, we compromised regarding the dogs: I could have them, but they had to live outside. I agreed, as Breanna…

On bad fonts and good pranks and tramp stamps
So if you are a graphic designer or are friends with a graphic designer or have heard of graphic design, you probably know how hated the font Comic Sans is in the design community. It is so notoriously bad, in fact, that there is an entire web site devoted to its awfulness. When Chris was…

Am I the only one that likes rainy days?
Every time the forecast calls for rain I hear a collective moan among seemingly everyone but me. I absolutely love rainy days during the summer months. Rain in the winter pretty much sucks, I’ll give you that, but today I look out Chris‘ windows (I opened them, of course, as the rain cools everything off…

Does the fun ever end? I hope not.
When the bouncer looks at us on stage and says, “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here,” I want to laugh at the played-out song lyric but instead I pout and look at my friends and say “What can we do now?” Never mind that it’s 2:15 a.m. and bouncers at…

I’m dog people
But for some reason I have seen this rise in my friendships of late, male friendships to be exact, with cat people. How does this happen? I didn’t know men even liked cats, much less single men who live alone with them … Ronnie has an excuse; he and his ex-wife got the cats together…

I could so do porn right now
So Amy and Jeff both asked me if I was going to blog about my bikini wax and I won’t other than to say Parvin’s Spa on East Boulevard is, hands down, the best place I’ve ever been for waxing and I will probably never go anywhere else. In describing it to Amy, I told…
