Soapbox | Dr. Oz and the 200-Pound 11-Year-Old Girl
I’m not a fan of Dr. Oz–you know, the doctor who has a talk show but wears scrubs ON HIS TALK SHOW?!? (Yeah, that guy.) I don’t know what it is, but he makes me all twitchy. Maybe it’s the overly touchy way he deals with his guests or that creepy leering thing he does more »
Wealthy People Shop with Kids, Too (I Think)
I always buy my turkey gravy base from a particular store, ordering it months ahead of time and having it ready just in time to add in all the juicy drippings and fixins. Well this year, because we live back in civilization, I decided to wait and actually visit the store and, you know, interact more »
Leaving, With No Place to Go
We’re moving. I’ve kept in on DL because it’s such an exhausting thing–emotionally, mentally, physically–especially when you have a 3 year old who doesn’t do well with change.

(In case you’ve lost count, it’s been two consecutive days so far, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?) Something happened a few days more »
Michael Vick: You Still Suck
Because I’m feeling particularly bitter today, Michael Vick’s recent arrogant quote really rubbed me the wrong way. In yet another story about Michael Vick (haven’t we had enough already?), he gave GQ the following quote: “[The media] are writing as if everyone feels that way and has the same opinions they do. But when more »
Open Letter to Grocery Stores
Dear Grocery Stores: Why do you love to torture parents so? It’s bad enough that you line the checkout aisles with candy and toys, but then you put Sandy the One Penny Pony right by the door so that I have to hear about “riding the pony” the entire grocery trip. Adding insult to injury, you more »
