What you can expect from this blog

Topics I will not be blogging about:

1. Pooping at work. I'll leave that to Yellaphant.
2. My sex life, in vivid detail. I'll leave that to Penelope Trunk.
3. Oral sex. Penelope's got that covered too.

I'm sure there are other topics, but I was just going through my RSS feeds this morning and those kind of stuck out.

Topics I will be blogging about:

1. Superficial things like the cute top I bought from Nordstrom this weekend.
2. Why the government should stop taking so much damn money out of my paychecks (forcing me to play the lottery more).
3. People who are a-holes.

Get excited people.


P.S. I would like to clarify, I love Yellaphant and Penelope Trunk, so don't take this post in any negative way. I wish I was as interesting as the two of them.

Check me out, I'm fancy!

How much do you love my new banner/logo or whatever you call it? Can I tell you how awesome Etsy is? I just went on, posted a request for someone to make me a banner for my new blog, and BOOM - 10 graphic designers who wanted to do it for me. It doesn't get much better than that.

So, thanks to Dionne, graphic designer and blogger extraordinaire, who designed this lovely banner for me. You rock!

Stay tuned for the first post in my "____ are a-holes" series, coming atcha tomorrow morning. I know, you can hardly wait.


P.S. If you've never experienced Etsy, drop whatever you're doing, and go there now. You'll thank me, but your wallet won't.

Teenagers are a-holes

Welcome to the first post in my "(insert person or group of persons) are a-holes" series. I'm generally a pretty upbeat person, but there are just certain things that set me off.

Like a vast majority of teenagers.

Now I know that might seem like a huge generalization, but think about the teenagers that you know, and what the ratio of nice upstanding kids to a-holes is. Be honest. I'm thinking about 1:100.

Case in point: I'm driving home from work yesterday, minding my own business. It was a beautiful afternoon, so I had the windows of my car down. I pull up to a traffic light, and see a car in the lane to the left of me with several hands sticking out the windows, flipping off the car in front of them. There are like 10 kids in the car who look like they're approximately 12 years old, and they all look pissed. Whatever, I think -- maybe the other car cut them off, justifying the gesture.

But wait, it gets better. They start THROWING QUARTERS (or maybe nickels, but that's not the point) at the car in front of them! I'm sorry, I have been known to throw a crude gesture, or an FU out an open window, but throwing metal objects that could actually damage another vehicle?? When is that okay?

So of course, I'm gaping at this car in disbelief, when one of the a-holes glances over in my direction to see that I'm staring at them. Which prompts a very nasty "What are you looking at?" from one of the children.

Now, I had about a million responses in my head, but A. I didn't want quarters thrown at my car (it may be a POS, but I don't need to make it worse), and B. the light turned green.

Moral of the story: teenagers are a-holes and should not be allowed to drive.


P.S. Doing a Google images search for "a-holes" is a scary thing.
