In between sips of my Amaretto Sour, I kept gingerly clinking my teeth together. One of my hallmates suggested going to Nick’s, and I realized my usual response of “I’m not drunk enough to eat at Nick’s” was not accurate. “I can’t feel my teeth,” I offered. “Great, let’s go!” Janice was the only person…
I ended up taking a little more time off from blogging than I’d anticipated at the time of this post. But I managed to make 33 pints of ice cream for my Ice Cream Social, have 20 people over to eat ice cream in a social manner, and live to tell the tale (four weeks…
My birthday was Wednesday. Dave and I always make each other a birthday cake. My favorite cake is Harvey Wallbanger. This cake (boxed yellow mix doctored with vanilla pudding and the ingredients of the Harvey Wallbanger drink–vodka, Galliano, and orange juice) was a childhood favorite. In my family, there were two schools: cream cheese frosting/normal…
July is National Ice Cream Month. I’m throwing an ice cream social…in August. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts. Who do we have to thank for this month-long celebration of ice cream? The Gipper! Photo Credit: Curtis Patrick & Art Van Court collections I thought an ice cream social would be a fun way to…
I like Squeeze. If you’re like most of the people I mentioned this to recently, you have no idea what I mean by that. That makes me sad. When I mentioned seeing Squeeze in concert, people didn’t know who they were. This blew my mind. You don’t know “Tempted?” Did you not watch MTV in…
I once believed I’d look smaller if I wore clothes that were too big. In high school, the Gap sold a cardigan sweater that ran ridiculously large. Boom! I could have the satisfaction of buying a medium and still have it be two sizes too big. I got the foamy green color and my friend…
No, no. Not that kind of backed up. I have a few limits on what I’ll publish. My constipation is of the blog post variety. I had hoped to focus more on writing after I completed the site redesign, but it’s been the opposite. Granted, I’ve been busy for the past two weeks (or should…
I have been enjoying Kelley and Anna‘s Finding the Funny link-up since stumbling on it during a week-long work training in February (not that I was messing around on my iPad or anything). I’ve linked up several times since then and was excited to have two posts highlighted as one of the “most clicked” of…
The point of this post is that I need to have a point to my posts. I didn’t type that as an introduction, I typed that to try to stay on point. Perhaps the problem is just A.D.D., but it’s not (usually) like I want to say random shit such as “I like eggs” in…
I’d say I’ve been phoning it in recently, but it’s more like calling in sick. All my blog energy went into finalizing the redesign, and now I’m left with a backlog of five dozen post ideas and no idea where to start. How about more crap I found when cleaning my office? Please don’t tell…
