Teacher’s only
I finally did something I have wanted to do since I was a kid. I peed in the staff bathroom at my old elementary school. When I was in the second grade I saw two teachers walk out of the bathroom laughing. They are having fun in there. I imagined parties with candy, gold sinks and fancy soaps. Why else would they forbid kids to enter? I volunteer every Tuesday to read with the students in my son’s class. You haven’t lived until you’ve listened to the same story over and over and over again. I could recite the book, “Kit’s Mitt” with my eyes closed. It’s about a girl…

Bad Words
There is only one way to end this stellar day and that is binging on a heaping pile of waffle fries before midnight at an airport restaurant. A few women, whose diet likely consists of water and rice cakes, stared in envy. A guy in a Duck Dynasty sweatshirt gave me a thumbs up. #WINNING My journey to the Big Apple is coming to an end. I was invited to a screening of Jason Bateman’s directorial debut, “Bad Words.” (The film is set to be released on March 14th.) I brought my good friend Kristin with me. We stopped for a drink at Tao before the movie. (Oh, you fancy,…

Wide right
My 6-year-old will never forget his first NFL football game. I am certain of that because he was completely traumatized. He was grinning ear to ear when we pulled into Ralph Wilson Stadium. “There it is! There it is!” My husband gave me the we are awesome parents nod. Damn straight. We are creating memories. We arrived early to do some G rated tailgating in the parking lot. We played football and binged on junk food. My husband woke up early to pack the supplies. Ha! I am kidding. Seeing a man get anyone, but himself ready for a family outing is like coming face to face with a unicorn.…

1,2,3,4…. I declare a Twitter war
Since Bravo decided to play “The Fast & the Furious 99” tonight I had no choice, but to search for another form of entertainment. Thankfully, Kanye West is still crazy and his Twitter feed fulfilled my craving for drama. He is apparently in a fight with Jimmy Kimmel. Kanye is mad that the late night talk show host spoofed an hour-long interview he gave to the BBC. Who in their right mind would let Kanye West talk for an hour? Do the Brits have MTV? Well, Kanye’s designer panties are in a bunch. So, how do reasonable human beings resolve conflict? Kanye did the opposite and turned to social media,…

Instructions Not Included
There are movies that makes you laugh, cry and the rare screenplay that takes your breath away. Honestly, I don’t recall the last time I saw a movie like Instructions Not Included. I absolutely loved this movie. Critics hate it. For years I have based my decision to rent movies on the Rotten Tomatoes rating. Yes, it is ridiculous to make life decisions on a food that claims to be a fruit, but is used as a vegetable. I am glad I didn’t check the website before buying this ticket. I met my good friend, Nikki, at the theater tonight. How did I escape the homestead? I had to taxi…

I have no words
First there was the Macarena. Then, came Gangnam Style. If this song is played on terrestrial radio I will just drive in silence. Well, I will have to listen to three children complain about the silence. What the….what is going on here?

Classy Wedding March
Oh. My. Goodness. It takes a lot to offend me. These hillbillies made my jaw drop. You’ve probably seen a YouTube video of a creative wedding speech, march down the aisle, etc. Yours truly gave an unique speech at my friend Nikki’s wedding. It’s all in good fun. However, this couple took it to a new level. If they wanted to shock their guests, well, mission accomplished. Poor Timmy. Warning: Extremely offensive language.
