CBS comedy "Mike & Molly"
Oh, me. Oh, my. On Monday, Marie Claire blogger Maura Kelly took to the magazine's website to suggest "overweight couples"--or as she fondly refers to these folks, "fatties"--should "get a room" when making out, kissing, or showing affection of any kind. The lucky subjects Kelly is referring to are the stars on CBS's comedy "Mike & ...more»
A couple of years back, our friends Dave and Amanda, were putting their cutie patootie daughter to bed, complete with full bedtime routine: pacifier, blanky, lighting, and music. Parents, you know the drill. Whatever works, right?
As sweet Etta was drifting off to dreamland, her parents were listening more intently to her lullaby CD. I can't stand this music. Somebody should ...more»
If you've read this blog much, you know I have quite the affinity for the writing of Donald Miller and the message it's sharing (thus the rEdONculous little drawring to the right).

Giuliana Rancic can be seen on E! News and nearly every ...more»
What does it all mean, my closet-no-more-though-perpetually-shameful obsession with reality television? How did this all happen? Is it possible to blame my former roommates Nat and Cyndi for making me watch that first season of Survivor ("Richard, you're a sssnake.")? Does having a graduate degree exempt me from the self-imposed judgment that causes me shame? Why do I watch these ...more»
Before I'd ever met my husband, before grad school and teaching, and certainly before I ever had the baby ladies, I wanted to be an artist. Not a painter really, but someone who paints with beads. A sculptor of sorts. We were out there in limited numbers, the bead artists, but I wanted to use beads to "paint" on a ...more»
Newsflash: Christians do say "no-no" words. You know the ones; the kind that ended up on the bathroom stalls at school. The kind that seep out so easily--just like breathing, actually--whilst being cut of by that *%#@!$#. Those words.
Not that I do.
But on the rarest of occasions.
Okay, I'll just say it for all of us. Cussing is vulgar. When you ...more»
