I have good news. Jared is getting a vasectomy this week!! Oh, I kid. I mean, he is and it is good news to me, but he, apparently, is not quite ready to throw a party about it. In fact, he “can’t believe you are making light of this, Britt.” Boys and their wee-wees.* But [...]
Fueling Up The Self Worth Tank
by Miss Britt on March 17, 2010 47 Comments »
From the oh so wise Poppy: “Soooooo, here’s the challenge: Fill up someone else’s self worth tank. Let’s say nice things about how awesome each other is so that we feel like our existence on this planet is not a waste of space, time, and energy. If you’re strong enough to say nice things about [...]
Only A Bunch Of Douches Would Call Themselves “The Orlando Mafia”.

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 [...]

Like, how dare you question how I am treating [...]

Last year, I marked this date with a resignation and acceptance of homesickness. This year, I spent the day working from home, my boss and best [...]

Dear Baby Boy, I already know the name that your parents are going to call you. I’m saying it in my head now as I think of you. I’m hearing the way your mother says it, and wondering if I will ever be able to make it sound half as beautiful as she does when [...]
The Baby Shower Where I Got My Tattoo: A Photo Essay
by Miss Britt on June 10, 2009 74 Comments »
Saturday afternoon, I went to a baby shower. I’ve been to a lot of baby showers, but this one was different. This baby shower was for my beautiful friend Faiqa, who is a Pakistani American with a butt load of middle eastern friends. And while you might not think that this fact alone is significant, [...]
