If you’re not the type of person who enjoys being the center of attention, then I have to advise you not to slip and fall like a cartoon character on the pool deck of a four-star hotel in Las Vegas. I do hate to be fussed over. So standing around in bikini, half wrapped in [...]

A Week of Why, Part IV

We’ll just wrap this up: Our piles of books and magazines look so cute together. He encouraged me to buy my dream car, and goes through all kinds of contortions to change the oil. Four words: Still rocking the ponytail.
The apocalypse nears

I just joined Facebook. Next I’ll be using the word “network” as a verb and accepting the phrase “grow the economy” without my left eye twitching.

A Week of Why, Part I

Part I Because last night, while mocking old music videos from the ’80s on YouTube, we [...]
Here comes the rain again

I hate that a decade of living with near-constant rainfall and annual hurricanes in Mobile, Ala., has ruined thunderstorms for me.

Seriously loving this link from The Root: Five things white folks shouldn’t do now that Obama has won the election.

Obama is not THEIR president, he’s OUR president, and he couldn’t have [...]
