I sorta had an outer body experience last night. I wasn't dead on a cold stainless steel table in the ER or anything. I hadn't had any anesthesia. I wasn't even drunk. Yet I found myself hovering above my physical body in a half tut-tutting grin and half eye rolling head shake. I … [Read more...] about If My Friends Could See Me Now – 5:00 Fridays

Over 21 Iced Tea – 5:00 Fridays
I can't believe it's already Memorial Weekend. I feel like I was just vacuuming up pine needle remnants from the Christmas tree and covertly tucking away our Elf on a Shelf. I suppose this marks the end of Candy Season...you know, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter. … [Read more...] about Over 21 Iced Tea – 5:00 Fridays
Bonne Cher – 5:00 Fridays
I unabashedly love Cher. The old Cher. The original. The Cher from Mask and 70s kitschy variety shows. I even love the tacky yet glam Bob Mackie Cher. Today is Cher's birthday.

My face turned various shades of plum as I … [Read more...] about I Feel Fine – 5:00 Fridays

We carry on with equal parts of smiles and grimaces as we Kerry Strug our … [Read more...] about Just for Moms – 5:00 Fridays
Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays
I've just spent the better part of a week in San Diego for spring break with my family. No, we didn't go to the zoo. Yes, we went to Sea World and LEGOLAND. We ate copious amounts of fish tacos and drank our weight in margaritas (on the rocks, with salt). Mac Daddy and Bird … [Read more...] about Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays
Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays
It's almost spring break, and that means just one thing: tequila! I never was a spring break kind of girl. My senior year of college I was home with the chicken pox over spring break while all my friends went to Mexico. But who am I kidding? My dad would have never let me go … [Read more...] about Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays
