So, the party I mentioned the other day was a tie-dye party. I’ve never done tie-dye before, but I’m sure we’ll do it again! And next time, there will be yarn involved. (haha, that last one looks a little like it was in a horror movie, doesn’t it?)

5 intimate things we pay people (not doctors) to do for us (and I’m not speaking of sexy things) 1. Depilatory Waxing — the Brazilian kind primarily, but having your eyebrows waxed is pretty intimate, too. 2. Manicure/Pedicure — they cut your nails, for chrissake.

Fuckingshitgoddamnit! This evening was annual meeting of our condo’s Home Owner’s Association. Guess who’s the new, most unenthusiastic member of the condo board. Dudes, there was some serious peer pressure down there. Shit, man. And, to make the evening complete, guess who reluctantly agreed to be the board secretary when no one else would step [...]
