At home, the adventures with Hank the Tank continue. Hank’s my first puppy (Kiki was already at least one when I brought her home) and I can tell you that I unequivocally had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now don’t get me wrong, Hank is a genius. In the not quite 3 [...]

I’ve Been Reduced To This
Tired ramblings of a new mom:
“Potty, Potty! Hank has to go potty?”
“No, Hankie. No bite mommy’s fingers off.”
“Stop chewing on the chair, Hank.”
“Stop chewing on the table, Hank.”
“Stop chewing on the sofa, Hank.”
“That’s not your food, Hank.”
“No, Hank, NO!”
“Hank no potty on the rug, okay?”
“Hankie Pankie! NO!”
Saturday afternoon a new little boy named Thor came [...]

Things Your Girlfriends Don’t Tell You
When I was in my early twenties, a girlfriend of mine from high school pulled me aside. She and her husband had recently gotten pregnant and as “Gina” and I had always been close, she had something to reveal. I won’t go into details, but it was gross, it was about being pregnant, and it [...]

Elvis? Was That You?
I promised myself that even if they tortured me, tied me up to a tree and tickled me with feathers, stripped me naked and covered me in molasses, glued a fake mustache onto my face and made me walk around with it for a week; I would never admit the truth. But now I’m going to have [...]

I Love You Man
Last night four of us went to the movies to see the bromance between Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. After having seen Duplicity last weekend, which only scored a point or two lower than I Love You Man on Metacritic my favorite movie website, I had very low expectations. Duplicity was like a sandwich with [...]

Thaumaturgy: Twilight -vs- Harry Potter
Thaumaturgy: The performance of miracles or magic. Yesterday I had an interesting conversation about magic and movies with a 16 year old I know. She agreed with me that while movies allow for a thaumaturgy that the masses can visualize and thus understand, the real magic of stories is found within the pages of books. [...]

Theft Ring Busted At the Airport
“Ah-hah!” My mother must be saying to herself. “I knew it!”
Ever since 9/11 the rules have changed. One of them is that our luggage can no longer be locked due to the privilege of airport security to search whichever bags they feel they must. My bags are always a must I guess because every time I open them [...]

Fraud, A Four-Letter Word
Yesterday one of my galpals spent the better part of her morning on the phone with Bank of America. Someone had hacked her ATM card and her pin…for the third time. Natasha as I’ll call her here (witness protection program and all that) has never even lost her card. Nor has she gotten held up [...]

Edward Cullen aka Robbert Pattinson
Twilight’s megahunk Edward Cullen who in “real life” goes by the name Robbert Pattinson, is this April’s GQ man. Teenage girls everywhere are stalking the newsstands as we speak. How do I know this? Because last night I witnessed it first hand and may have accidentally bludgeoned a man in a suit who was standing [...]

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!
Not too long ago Sam and I decided that Kiki Wonder our faithful dog/Ewok mini-child needed a brother. Immediately I began scouring the rescue websites www.Petfinder.com and www.AdoptaPet.com as well as dragging Sam to the shelters.
