  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Friday Mad Libs

    Friday Mad Libs

    From now on, or whenever the hell I remember, I’m going to present you with some Mad Libs.  Remember Mad Libs?  That shit was great.  I remember being in my bedroom on the corded phone with my best friend (it was the 90’s! yea!!), filling out Mad Libs and laughing uproariously.  Of course we’d make…

  • Profanity:  A Pretty Word for…

    Profanity: A Pretty Word for…

    F-Bombs, Shit-words, Bastards, Bitches, Whores (nope, not a swear), Assholes, Etc.  Profanity just sounds so classy.  Here’s what I want to know:  What the HELL is wrong with profanity?  Why can’t I drop an F-bomb on your ass(hole) now and then you bastard?  Hmmm?  Do tell?  It’s not like I’m trying to be mean to…

  • An Exercise in Writing

    My blog stats recently have been abysmal.  Less than abysmal.  Sad.  Sorry.  Tragic.  I realize that I’ve slacked terribly on promotion of any kind and my frenzy of last year has abated like the calm after a hurricane…. and so I am left with…crickets.  But you know what?  I decided to change my attitude about…

  • Much Biting Ensues; And Sibling Torture (Wolfenstein 3D Edition)

    So a friend sent me a link to this blog…. Hyperbole and a Half.  Allie is freaking awesome and hilarious.  I’ve been manically reading all of her posts over the last few days.  I’m like…stalking her…but not in a stalkerish-stalkery way.  I’m just like…reading the stuff she put out there on the FREE interwebs without…

  • If You’re So Smart, You Rig Up My Life!!

    I’ve been spending a bit of time thinking about submission.  Actually, wait, that’s the wrong word.  That sounds a bit too sexual for what I’m trying to get at…the right word is surrender.  Now get your mind out of the gutter and join me in the untouchable ether of thoughts, emotions, the ego and of…

  • Dammit Write a Blog Post!!

    “Dammit write a blog post for gawd’s sake!!!”  This is what I’ve been saying to myself for the past 2 weeks.  And I have stuff I could write about, but I’ve been refusing to write ANYTHING at all.  It’s the holidays afterall and I’ve been super ridic busy and yes, lazy as sin.  Santa should…

  • Lemme Hear You Bring the Hype

    So once in a while I get to write new-ish articles for work, as I am the “newsletter” guru.  Today I had to write an article and I thought…why write this all boring and professional?  Why not write it FUN and batshit insane, like I do the blog?  (Sometimes when I’m writing blog posts, they…

  • New Friends, Anxiety Relief, Creativity Fail and Inspiration Desperation

    Coherence be damned! This is gonna be a weird post.  I have so many random things going on in my head.  I feel like these are the most uninteresting posts to read where someone writes about several things…but unfortunately for you, I’ve got nothing else that’s inspiring me at the moment that would make a…

  • Something Stupid

    You know what’s stupid?  The fact that I have to drive to work every single day.  It’s goddamned ridiculous that every day, I drive 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes home.  EVERY DAY!!  The same damn commute, wasting the same amount of…

  • Failure the Musical!!!! STARRING MEEEE!!!

    AKA:  A Catalog of Woes: The Year in Review I know it’s not necessarily the time of year to be doing a year in review, but I have a need to see all my woes laid out in a humorous way for the…

  • You Big Gorgeous Sexy Unfathomable Universe You!

    The universe is dead sexy.  Did you know? I’ve been obsessed with it lately and have been learning a lot about the latest discoveries and theories.  So I’m going to walk you through the sexiness and vastness of space in this post.  And…

  • My Endometriosis Story

    My Endometriosis Story

    Having a chronic illness is cool. Having several is even better. It’s especially fun when you think one of them might be gone and then it REARS its ugly head yet again and brings you right back to square one, living Groundhog Day all over again. So let’s talk about my Endometriosis story, which I…

  • This Season of USA is Lit!

    This Season of USA is Lit!

    These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s not political.) As an aside – I randomly decided to check out…

  • As the Earth Tilts…on its Evil Axis

    As the Earth Tilts…on its Evil Axis

    It’s that time of year again when the earth tries to screw those of us in the northern hemisphere by tilting itself away from the beautiful rays of the benevolent sun. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the hours of day light are getting shorter and we’re getting a hell of a lot colder, fast. Damn you…

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND but with plastic and unwanted junk. Remember that place? I know, I…

  • Skinny Jeans: Finally, a Reasonable Explanation

    Skinny Jeans: Finally, a Reasonable Explanation

    For the longest time it’s been very unclear to my why Skinny Jeans are a thing. In fact, I devoted an entire blog post to my musing on the fact that Skinny Jeans do justice to no one and thus are a vast criminal empire where justice doesn’t even exist. But finally, the day has…

SO EXCITING!! Several months ago in the early spring, I got home from work late just a little before 8 PM…
