I can’t help it – every time I think of obsessive navel gazing, I look to the master. Of course Inigo Montoya was completely awesome. Having a year-plus of Intuitive Eating* under my belt and counting nary a single calorie, fat gram or carb in that time has made me a bit cocky, I’ll admit …

See? Babies are already better at this than I am. Make a dress out of a pillowcase? Cinderella’s mice ain’t got nothing on me! Entertain a room full of preschoolers for an hour with nothing but shadow puppets and the contents of my purse? Won’t like it but I can sure do it. (True story: …
Dirty gym floors. Public pools (that my child may or may not have pooped in causing the whole place to be evacuated like Jaws was let loose). Restroom floors (the time that my child locked himself in a stall and I had to shimmy under the door). My point: My kids are disgusting. Kidding! My …

If the zucchini turds, nasty banana bread and other delicacies I’ve cooked haven’t yet made you glad that you’ve never come over for dinner, last night’s dinner should do the trick! (I like to discourage people from visiting – that way I can keep pretending that I can’t see the ketchup hand prints my kids …

See? All that exercise made her forget which way gravity works. Happens to me all the time. It turns out that Sammy Sosa and Floyd Landis may not be lying – new research says they may reallynot remember how all those drugs got in their system. Apparently all the exercise got to ‘em. For myself, not …

Not a temptation for me… I am not a sexy person. Please don’t argue that with me in the comments. I am outgoing, funny, cheerfully serious, pretty-when-caught-off-guard and occasionally entertaining.

Times sure have changed, huh? Awkward: “Wow, you’ve sure lost a lot of weight!” Worse: “You’ve gained a few – you know the freshman 15 doesn’t count after college, right?!” Worse-r: “You’re too skinny, eat a sandwich!” Worst: “You used to be so pretty; aren’t you worried about your health at all?” (The last one …
