We call ourselves The Orlando Mafia.
And every time we do, one of us invariably rolls rolls our eyes and laughs, “man we are douches.”  And then another one of us laughs too and agrees, “I know!  I can’t imagine why anyone would ever want to hang out with us!”  And then we all laugh some [...]

I’ve been a little anxious about this upcoming weekend.
You see, here in central Florida it’s time for Avitaween – Avitable’s ginormous Halloween party where about 100 people, including about 30 bloggers who I happen to adore, gather in costumes for a night of fun and ridiculous behavior.
See? A completely rational reason to be anxious, [...]

In two days I leave for BlogHer.
I swear, I can actually hear most of you groaning.
Sure, there are a handful of you who read this blog who will also be attending BlogHer.  And maybe you are just as excited and nervous as I am.  I’m certain you are.
But the rest of you, the bulk of [...]

I woke up this morning dreading writing this post.
I got back late last night from a long weekend in Lexington, Kentucky.  I went to Lexington for “ConFab, Baby!” – a blogger houseparty hosted by Turnbaby and the man formerly known as Mr. Fabulous.  Everyone knows you can’t go to a blogger party without blogging about [...]

I used to be funny.
Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you.  I was funny.  I may have been crude and abrasive, but damn it, I was funny.
I hate coming to this blog right now because the last post is always “OH! HI!  Let me tell you about my health!” and I think “you [...]

I’ve been writing on this blog for almost three years.  It has always been a personal blog – more personal than most, I’ve been told.  But it wasn’t until recently that I understood why so many people were baffled by my openness here.
Tuesday night, Adam and I arranged to have dinner with a blogger who [...]

On Sunday I was going to write a funny post about how Hilly and I spent Saturday pretending to be supermodels.
I was going to show you pictures of our light guy and write funny things on the pictures like “see how we is sexy!” with an arrow pointing to my boob inexplicably hanging out of [...]

Thursday’s Child sent this twitter:
“Women Bloggers: Have you seen this yet? I thought you’d find it particularly delicious. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30709961″

Hey, I’m a woman blogger!  So I checked out the link.
Apparently, yet another marketing company is trying to figure out how to market to women.  The computer company, Dell, has recently launched a new site it’s calling [...]

If you’re looking for something for free, scroll to the bottom of this post. Lazy bastards.
I mentioned last week that I decided to launch a review site about the things women buy and the things women want to buy. I have to assume that, if you’re anything like me, you gave at least [...]

“Are all of your friends bloggers?” Susan was looking around my house at the birthday party guests that had arrived. It was hard to miss the fact that nearly all of the adults were faces she recognized from twitter or some other Internet portal.
“Well, a lot of them are,” I explained.
“Man, none of my [...]

Last Thursday night, I attended the Orlando TweetUp hosted by the Orlando Sentinel in… wait for it… Orlando.
Let me tell you about how I wanted to die.
First of all, thank GOD I was meeting Shash, Susan from EggMarketing and Melanie from ModernMami there. The three of them were the sum total of the group [...]

Let me tell you now that some of you will hate this post. I’m not entirely comfortable with that right now, but I’m going write it anyway because… well, it’s what I do.
I’m using that disclaimer, in part, to avoid starting.
I’m never sure where to begin when I’m unraveling my fears.
The short version of [...]

I decided recently that if I don’t have anything blog worthy, I’m just not going to blog*.
You don’t need an explanation from me or an apology post. No guest bloggers need to fill the gaping hole that is surely left in your day.
Because seriously? It’s a blog. About my life. It [...]

There are 406 pictures from my weekend in Charleston.
About 385 of those pictures are of buildings and food and trees and the back of a mule’s head.

I told you so.
Having just spent way too much time and hours I could have been cleaning uploading 406 pictures to Flickr, I’m reluctant to spend one more minute [...]

Bloggers all over the Internet are putting together gift guides.
I’m just slapping some shit on a T-Shirt.
Because it’s funny.

And you know my obsessive compulsive ass couldn’t stop there.
