POP QUIZ:
Is this a cute picture*, or what?
ANSWER:
Fuck. No.
And NOT because…
The Packers lost last night to the most hated Cowboys AND Brett Favre aka The Future Mr. Miss Britt got hurt, pretty badly.
And it’s not really cool to wear the team jersey the day after a bad loss - even if they are matching.
Or the [...]
Dear Potential Recipients of Gifts From Miss Britt Who Are Not My Children Or My Parents,
Clearly, you are confused.
You see, when I say “what do you want for Christmas?” or “do you have any gift ideas?” - I don’t actually want to know what about your heart’s one desire. This is Christmas, not The [...]
Sometimes I like to be funny.
But sometimes, as in recent posts, there is serious business that needs to be discussed.
Today I bring you the most desperate issue to date. An issue that must be addressed. An issue that you can do something about.
Brace yourselves… steady your stomachs… and feast your eyes on this:
In my younger years, I was a judgmental bitch.

I plan to spend [...]
Look! A Thanksgiving post! On Thanksgiving! With a creative title to boot!
(Who the hell says “to boot”?)

But [...]
PART ONE:

In fact, I can cook quite well. I can make apple pie (which is completely different than apple crisp) and delicious cheesecake - from scratch. I can make homemade pasta - and not just the thick doughy egg noodles that work [...]
My son finally lost his first tooth. About a month before his 8th Birthday.
Apparently he’s like the last kid in the whole wide world to lose a tooth. As his mother, I am totally cool with him hanging on to his baby teeth for as long as possible. I am also now [...]
Sunday was The Day. The Day I was headed out for my first meetup.
I’ll admit, I was nervous. And although I had received a few emails and comments from a couple of women involving the words “beer and wine” and “bitches that rock” and “fuck shit damn hell” - I kind of half [...]
