Happy New Year! Now, Tell Me Why I Suck!

I didn’t finish the reverb/resound challenge for 2011 and I’m OK with that. It wasn’t that I just forgot about it or “gave up” (well, maybe gave up a little), but I felt that it was becoming more of a pain in the @$$ trying to think up things to ...

My Mad Wrapping Skills

It’s no secret that I suck at wrapping presents. Christmas presents. Birthday presents. Outdoor National Intercourse Day Presents (May 8, in case you’re feeling especially giving in 2012). It doesn’t matter the reason, give me a gift and a roll of ridiculously thin, colorful paper, ribbons, bows, and tissue paper and ...

Happy “Skinny” Tuesday

Happy Fat Tuesday, yo! Now, you may be asking me "What is Skinny Tuesday?"  because I (and Google) know all. Seriously, I’m like Wizard of freaking Oz up in ‘hur because I can tell you the name of that one movie that had midgets or some other type of “mythical” type characters with ...

February 14 (really)

Happy Valentine’s Day. Or, Happy Buy Random Shit To Prove You Love Someone Day! For us, today is February 14. You know, the one that happens after February 13 and before February 15 – unless you're looking at the Mayan calendar. In that case, it's probably like Almost Doom Day. But, really, ...

Birthday Boo-Hoo

Did I die? Well, sort of. The touchy-feely ho-ho-ho version of myself that was all “Yay! Reverbination!” throughout the Santa Season kind of crashed. Apparently, what I thought was optimism and hope for the future, was just a candy-cane and corndog high. Damn. But, seriously, something flat-lined in my head, heart, ...

Party

(This is part of the Reverb 10 series counting down to the new year. If it's supposed to be insightful or inspiring, they're doing a good job at hiding it with outstanding questions like the following one.  But - on a positive note - it gives me something to make ...

Tree 21, Dogs 14

Every year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we get out annual Christmas tree. Although we set out to make it a tradition, this year neither one of us totally felt like dragging down all the decorations and dealing with the mess. He was busy World of Warcrafting. I was busy being ...

Black Friday. Bionic Hips.

Today was "Cyber Monday." I could make obvious jokes like, “Wait? Cyber Monday means shopping? Guess I should put away my web cam.” But that’s what everyone expects and I will not be expected. I even came into the world weeks early because I was not about to cater to ...

Nitpicky but Thankful

Thanksgiving – the time of the year where it’s totally acceptable, no matter what you weigh, to eat out of a trough and no one can judge you. Ever. If you judge, you get basted and banished to the kiddie table. Normally, I’m totally about eating. But Thanksgiving is the one ...

Costume Up!

I kind of love Halloween. Not sure why or when it happened. I honestly don’t even remember dressing up more than a handful of times to go trick or treating when I was growing up. There were probably more because, frankly, my spoiled-brat ass was likely decked out as a ...
