birth, c-sections, callers, cesareans, convenience, emergency, father, pregnant girlfriend, radio, Richard Sherman, sports talk, super bowl, team

Today I was driving home from my work appointments and listening to the local sports talk radio show. It’s a few days before the Super Bowl, and it seems all have moved on from “Deflate Gate” so a new topic needed to headline the next talking segment. Superstar Richard Sherman, the cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks has a pregnant girlfriend, and that bitch has the nerve to be due Super Bowl weekend. The question posed to the audience was “what would Sherman do, play or be present for the birth?”. Continue reading →

I just returned from a long weekend in Las Vegas. Jealous? You should be. I was there for my annual company meeting, so not only was I in Vegas for 4 days, the only thing I had to pay for was the spa and some non-company sponsored boozing (there was plenty of company sponsored drinking).

WTF Wednesday: Repeat After Me- Do Not Ask A Woman If She Is Pregnant

don't ask, fat, foot in mouth, mind fuck, pregnant

There are certain things you would think are common knowledge in our society; reality tv is not real, the Patriots are a bunch of cheaters, and you don’t ever ask a woman if she’s pregnant. Never.

I once ran into an old friend at a bar while celebrating a mutual friends birthday. Looking at her, she was still a petite girl but was rocking a round belly. I ignored that shit. She looked pregnant, but I wasn’t taking the chance that she didn’t just have some insane amount of belly bloat that night. I let her tell me. Sure it was awkward as I danced around the topic in conversation, but it’s way less awkward than asking someone if they’re pregnant when they are not.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as socially savvy as I am,  and I’ve recently been asked twice if I’m pregnant. Once by a good friend and once by a client. I can’t figure which is more insulting, so right now we’ll say they are equally on the shit list I have running in my head. Continue reading →

What Am I Doing Wrong?

beaten down, crying, drums, following orders, independent, marching, music, music class, screaming

First off, I feel like a lazy blogger. Last week I only posted once and this week I’m en route to do the same. For motivation I have told myself I can’t eat a second bowl of macaroni and cheese until I’ve written a post. Fat girl logic at its best.

Today I took the toddler to a music class. You know the kind, where a bunch of two year olds don’t follow the instructions of the teacher and instead scream for 45 minutes. Oh wait. That was just my kid. Continue reading →

The Selfie I Would Like to Never See Again

alone in the car, selfies

I’m in no way a selfie hater. Selfies are the only way I can capture myself, the husband and the toddler in one picture (see below).  In fact, I’ve been taking selfies well before they were a thing, and before we had camera phones that allowed us to see what the heck we’re taking a picture of.  I mastered the art of the disposable camera selfie many years ago.

dinner, Pinterest Fail, steak

I love Pinterest. It gives me lots of fantastic ideas for party favors, holiday decor and lots of random motivational quotes. All of which I do not use. I would say the only thing that I really use Pinterest for is recipes. It’s great to see a random recipe I want to try, Pin it and come back to it when I’m ready to give it a whirl.

Today the menu called for stuffed flank steak. Sounds good, right? Looks good in the picture on the recipe page. The directions seemed easy enough… but I am queen of not following screwing up directions. Continue reading →
