According to google analytics, over the past three days TWO people actually found my site by searching for the key words “balls hanging out of shorts.” No lie.

For my 31st birthday I got a Dunkin Donuts bumper sticker and a lacy thong in the mail from my aunts and my grandmother.

Seeing as how I can’t imagine the day getting any better, or funkier, I’m going back to bed.

Wait, it just got better. My neighbor just gave me a… [keep reading]

Addison: “I’m not a rat child!” Make up your own explanation.

Steve, describing the girl at the Kentucky Derby who was eating a brat before… [keep reading]

Joys and Concerns

Amy — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:43:53 +0000

This past week not only marked the year end of preschool, it was the last day of Sunday school as well. When I enrolled Ella in the Religious Education program at our parish this year, I had to choose something to sign up for as well. I quickly looked over my choices, hastily checked… [keep reading]

Nurse Friend Kelly (upon seeing my nearly severed thumb): “Holy shit, Amy! You definitely should have gone to get stitches.”
Internal… [keep reading]

Why I Can’t Quit Dunkin’ Donuts

Amy — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:31:51 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, while I waited for my psychiatrist to write up my prescriptions at the end of our session, I mentioned that I was heading to the new Dunkin’ Donuts that just opened down the street from her office. “One opened near my house, too. It’s changed my life. I eat about… [keep reading]

Thirty and a Half is the new 40

Amy — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:37:00 +0000

This past August I passed gracefully into my 30s. It really wasn’t a big deal–I was still hip, I was still cool (no I wasn’t). I wore Converse sneakers and listened to the Top 20 on 20 (when I wasn’t listening to 90s on 9). As it turns out, 30 may not have been… [keep reading]
