There are a lot of reasons I hate Twitter. Anything that can manage to pit Ashton Kutcher against CNN is inherently wrong in my world. I want to see Ashton in an oil wrestling match with Gerard Butler not competing for twittering twats with Wolf Blitzer.
Last night as I… Read full post »

Now normally I am not a mustache loving girl. Tom Selleck never did a damn thing for me, which is probably because he is the poor man's Sam Elliott.
Whether playing a cowboy

or a biker with a heart of gold

Lesson 1: All-Inclusive Is The Same Thing As All You Can Eat.
Let me tell ya, doesn't matter how many stars a hotel is sporting and how pretty to view from your room, three weeks is a long time to spend in a resort. While it is nice to have… Read full post »

I'm having trouble concentrating today. It could be this, the view from my desk, or it could be the constant interruptions from the hotel representative who keeps coming in to take an inventory of the amenities in our office. I suspect she thinks we might be stealing towels, which… Read full post »
I’m not a natural traveler. I have traveled a significant amount in my lifetime, but I’ve never learned to do it particularly well. I over pack. When you’re going somewhere for three to four weeks, you never know what you’re going to need, and when you’re working… Read full post »
Last night the husband and I were watching NCIS. Yes, we're that lame. Aside from Mark Harmon aging well and still being totally hot, one of the reasons I enjoy the show is the character of Abby Sciuto played by Pauley Perrette.

I don't know Pauley Perrette personally, and h… Read full post »
It seems that I am continually waging war between my personal quest for self-improvement (screw self-acceptance) and my limited budget. For example my breasts, which seem to have appeared fully formed as a D-cup when I was 10, have met with the effects of gravity. While I have no desire t… Read full post »
We've all had those days when our hair won't behave, and we've all had those dreadful haircuts that make us want to take a pair of scissors to our hairdresser. My first bad haircut was in the fifth grade when the Dorothy Hamill wedge haircut was all the rage. Unfortunately the… Read full post »
Further adventures in really bad food photography from the 1970's!

2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed

1/4 teaspoon salt

Okay, so we've established that I watch way too much television. I am a junkie for pretty much any kind of TV. I'm sorry if you had previously had a more high brow impression of me. Illusions get shattered all the time, and you'll get over this. I promise.
The other day after reading Scott Christian's post about America's excessive addiction to 3-ply toilet tissue in which he postulates "At the end of the day though, cleaning your backside really shouldn’t qualify as an area of luxury...", I posed this question to him: "Dude, have you ever had he… Read full post »
So this morning I'm having my coffee and watching a little Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera. (Anne Curry freaks me out with her breathy voice and need to touch every guest she interviews so I try to ignore her.) And on comes Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Now I don't dislike Dr. Nancy,… Read full post »

iamsurly vs The Food Of The Seventies: Beat That Jodi Kasten
Okay... so I finally decided to give myself a taste of my own medicine, as it were. On this week's Foodie Tuesday post I shared a nice 1970's recipe card for Emerald Cantaloupe. In the comments RavingBits asked someone to make this. So, I decided, what the heck!
Off I went… Read full post »
I took a risk this weekend. I veered off course from the lighter side of OS and ventured to comment on DktrShe's post about breast-feeding in public. Bad idea. Now, here is an even worse idea. I am going to blog more about it.

Before you get your knickers in a twist, let me make a few points of clarification first.
1. If you have Erectile Dysfunction, I am not mocking you. That totally sucks. Although I don't have a penis and can't imagine what it would be like to discover it doesn't work properly,… Read full post »

Obviously it sucks for him to be married to me - that goes without saying. He didn't actually intend to propose to me. For years I teased him mercilessly by saying "When you're ready to propose you just take yourself right on down to the local Target and get me one… Read full post »
The British have been running an incredibly graphic PSA about the realities of texting and driving. And while excerpts have appeared on CNN and other news outlets. Early reports indicate that the PSA is considered too graphic for primetime American television audiences.

When I was about nine my cousin Mary taught me how to shave my legs. She was very clear about the fact that you only needed to shave the front of your legs, because no one was going to see the hair on the back. Our mothers had a good old… Read full post »
First, let me go on record as saying I've got nice tits. You can ask my husband, he'll vouch for them. My tits are natural, no silicone or bags of saline or peanut oil or whatever they are putting in implants these days. Not to mention, they come complete with a… Read full post »
Seriously. This question has been plaguing me for months. Or really, it has been driving my husband nuts and by extension filling more of my conversations with euphemisms for the bowel movements than I care for. If you've got IBS/Crohns or something akin, you've got my wholehearted sympathy - a… Read full post »
