Dressed as a teenage kid… Which is pretty much like every other day. #
Dear Trunk or Treat: We’re the house with the big candy bars and we don’t want any …

Like a four-year-old, I’m fighting sleep because it’s too early to go to bed. #
If the low cloud cover dipped any lower, we’d be in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow. #

Prepping Year One. Skipped it in theaters, am pretty sure I’ll realize why when it’s all over… but rentals make it so easy to say “Yes”. #
Trucks with plows, tree branches breaking and snow shovels– all in October. This storm just got real. Old Man Winter’s a Jerk. #

What happens in Vegas… is nothin’

So I’m in Vegas. Vegas! Land of the buffet, the place retirement accounts go to die and current home to naked Carmen Electra shenanigans. Carmen Electra- you know: Baywatch chick, Dave Navarro/Dennis Rodman wife and professional clothes taker-offer.
Right now, this very MINUTE, I’m supposed to be downstairs at a meet and greet with Ms. Electra …

Cup-O-Toilet

Back in the day, I’d heard boys were a little harder to potty train than girls. Pffffffft. Whatever. I only peed my bed until I was 22. What’s the big deal?
Ah, experience. The Master Teacher.

Bug Spotted in Kitchen, Coaxed to Safety
