Introducing Otis Redding
Because he’s red. And he’s awesome. You can call him Otie. Dee does. 11 Weeks Old, and Fifteen lbs of sweet Coonhound/Lab love. Our hearts still hurt, but this little guy is like a dose of percocet for the soul. {Totally unrelated: Want to win $100 worth of Mary Kay from me? Super low entries, great odds! GO!} Read more →
Cool or Crazy: My Koolaburras [Not Dirty]
Scott called them Edward Scissorhand boots, but I think my new Koolaburra Olivias are pretty fierce. (Upon searching an image for this post however, I had a twinge of buyers remorse that I should have gone for the tan boot, but I’ve since gotten over it.) And don’t be horrified by the astronomical price tag, I scored these babies on… Read more →
Purgeday Thursday Returns…But Now I’m Just Calling It Cut Your Crap.
My formerly organized life has devolved into a whole big mess. My inbox is over 300 strong, my voice mail box is full, and the pile of mail to deal with on my desk is that mountain range above. I need to get my shit together, like…stat…or whatever a highly effective person would say. It happens to me every… Read more →
Halloween, Toddler Style
Delilah was supposed to be a Peacock for Halloween. But she didn’t like her peacock outfit…she’s big on saying “I don’t like it” these days. I’m not convinced she fully understands the phrase.

Can I Move In?
We’ve lived in the same spot for five years, and as you may know, every so often I get a serious redecorating bug. Like right now. I’ve got it bad. Ever since we rearranged the place before Dee was born, I haven’t quite been able to get my living room to take shape. Literally every other area of our house… Read more →
Fuck.
I just buried my face in the hound dog’s fur and cried. I told her I need her to be strong and healthy for a long time. I let her lick my tears. Totally gross, I know, but the hound dog has been with me since Sara, Matthew and I adopted her in early 2002 and last week when we… Read more →
No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn
I had no idea that a week in New York could be so good for my mental health. Normally I find Manhattan crushing and stressful, but this time, I actually spent very little time in the City I knew, and instead couch surfed around the streets of Brooklyn…trolling coffee shops, vintage stores, and every boutique my feet could carry me… Read more →
Time is Cruel. Mary Kay is Kind.
[This post is sponsored by Mary Kay and BlogHer. Potty mouth, bad puns and opinions are mine.] When I was a senior in college, my thesis was a short film called Whistlin’ Dixie. Inspired by the summer I spent working at a Home Shopping Network, it was a dark comedy that followed the murder of fictional Home Shopping Superstar Dixie… Read more →
