The Only Hosting Recipe and Kitchen Item You’ll Ever Need

This weekend was absolutely crazy but in a good way. Friday night, Zack worked at Jimmy’s like usual, but I did not attend because I was cleaning the house. Saturday, we drove out to Cumberland Maryland because Zack was DJing the Marine Corps Birthday Ball for Bravo company. We had …

Transvaginal Ultrasound and How Jon Stewart Kinda Pissed Me Off

Like most people my age before I fall asleep every night I tend to turn on the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.  Typically, I agree with everything they say, either actually agree with Jon Stewart or agree in jest with Stephen Colbert.  Typically, I actually enjoy the Colbert Report …

Happy Valentines Day – Or Singles Awareness Day – Or Whatever

It’s Valentines Day.  Over the course of my time on this earth, I have come to loath Valentines Day, mainly because I’ve never actually had a good Valentines Day.   I mean, maybe when I young enough to not really understand it, like when I was in elementary school, but since adulthood …

Why I Became a Pampered Chef Consultant

About 90 days ago I decided to become a Pampered Chef consultant.  Technically, according to the Pampered Chef handbook we’re not allowed to blog about the Pampered Chef, but today I was reading a couple of blog posts like this one and I decided to go ahead and write a …

The Story of the Fish Tank

February 23, 2012 Random Musings 4 Comments
In the beginning of June, I decided to give my 7 year old husky, Sonya, to my dad's best friend and his wife.  It was really for the best since I had taken a new job which required me to work from an office, instead of working from home.  Poor Sonya was being kenneled all kinds of hours during the day and she just didn't deserve that.  (Although, I will say, I probably would have made a different decision if she hadn't been pissing on the carpet because she was so pissed off at me.) Zack, being ...

Transvaginal Ultrasound and How Jon Stewart Kinda Pissed Me Off

February 22, 2012 Politics 27 Comments
TV CNBC's Critics Like most people my age before I fall asleep every night I tend to turn on the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.  Typically, I agree with everything they say, either actually agree with Jon Stewart or agree in jest with Stephen Colbert.  Typically, I actually enjoy the Colbert Report more, but I find that lately The Daily Show has been on it's A game, and I enjoyed their introduction bits and interviews more than the Colbert Report. That was, until last night.  Last night, Jon Stewart introduced ...

Newsflash: The Constitution Does Not Guarantee You Privacy

February 21, 2012 Politics 8 Comments
Rick-Santorum3-460x307 I am having a real problem with Rick Santorum.  First of all, I almost can't believe that he's winning in any state because he is such a bible thumper.  I say almost, because a lot of the time, I actually agree with him.  There, I said it, a lot of the time, Santorum and my views align.  Unfortunately, then he opens his mouth on birth control and religion and I want to smack a shoe in his face.  Why can't he just shut up about religion and govern?  Then he'd be a good republican candidate. As ...

This Song Reminds Me Of…

February 18, 2012 Music 1 Comment
Lil-Wayne-Ten While I'm procrastinating doing what I should be doing, I'm listening to music at my desktop because I actually set up my speakers and playing a game where I put it shuffle, and stop on a song that I want to hear, then look up the songs that it immediately reminds me of and you'll see how I went from one the punkiest bands I know to one of the most vulgar rap songs I've ever listened to.... Starting Point: 1.  Unwritten Law - Rescue Me Choice Lyrics:  "Drop out of sight tonight, stay with ...

Random Friday Thoughts

February 17, 2012 Random Musings 26 Comments
questions The office is quiet... so quiet... it gives me a lot of time to think.   Here are the questions that I've pondered over the last couple hours: If you're sleeping together and hanging out together, even with the absence of a title, doesn't that mean you're in a relationship? Why did Christy Portela, who I'm not sure I know, invite me to a party at her house - and how did she get my email? Are April and I going to make it back before the snow hits on Sunday?   Or will I miss the snow again? ...

Be The Lead Singer – Every Wednesday and Some Thursday Nights

February 16, 2012 Drinking 3 Comments
singer_microphone_web In the "things I did when you weren't looking" category - somehow I have become a groupie for a band without a lead singer.  Well, that's not really true - because the lead singer is YOU.  Yes YOU... you just haven't gone up there and sang yet.   You see, every Wednesday night at Sully's in Chantilly, and every other Thursday night, at Jimmy's in Herndon, a group of guys that I know fairly well sets up their instruments and plays songs that the crowd tells to them play, while someone from the ...

The Rise of Baby Squirrels

February 15, 2012 The Internet 6 Comments
baby-squirrel As I expected, yesterday actually didn't suck that bad.  It's all about readjusting your perception.   Since I expected nothing to happen, what did happen was all that more awesome.  I played Skyrim all night, and got woken up at 2AM from a visitor who ate macaroni and cheese and watched Bait Car with me.  By the way, Bait Car criminals?  You are some of the most stupid criminals I've ever seen on TV.  Especially the one who stole the car but didn't know how to drive - so you ran into trash ...

happy-anti-valentines-day It's Valentines Day.  Over the course of my time on this earth, I have come to loath Valentines Day, mainly because I've never actually had a good Valentines Day.   I mean, maybe when I young enough to not really understand it, like when I was in elementary school, but since adulthood and the time I could start dating, it hasn't really happened. Don't believe me?  Hop in the time machine with me, and look at the only two Valentines Day's where I was actually in a relationship: 2006 - I ...

Gamer Girls are Sexy

February 10, 2012 Video Games 14 Comments
legopirates Last night, instead of going out to Jimmy's like Brooke and I usually do on a Rock-N-Roke Thursday, we stayed in, ordered Chinese, and played video games. Specifically, LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean™.  Now, I'm not going to lie, I was laughing at Brooke for making that her game of choice - I mean, with great titles like the new SkyRim and Modern Warfare, and she picks out a Lego game for us to play? I was so wrong.  So, so, so wrong. We had a blast playing it, and I've got to say, it's ...
