I received an email recently from Lauren Hoyt-Williams, PR Big Shot for SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove.  It went something like this:
“So, um, I just wanted to follow up and see if you might actually be interested in RSVPing to the invitation I sent you for the upcoming event at Busch Gardens next week.”
Basically.
(She [...]

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, think for [...]

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 [...]

I have discovered something worse than shopping for jeans.
No. Wait.
I have discovered something worse than shopping for swimsuits.
Last night, I spent roughly 4 hours cleaning out my closet. Oh, yes. That is worse than getting in miniature spandex in a 4 x 4 room with nothing but you, a mirror and really [...]

When you’ve been away from your house for oh, let’s say, about 10 days, one of the first things you’ll notice when you get home is that it’s been damn near a year since you’ve made any progress on decorating your not-so-new-anymore house.
At that point, the best thing to do is wait until oh, let’s [...]

It seems my post about nice guys vs guys you’re actually attracted to has sparked some discussion. The question people are asking now is “can you help who you love?”
Ladies and gentleman, I will not bore you with opinions and theories. Lo, no, I know you come here expecting so much more than [...]

Yesterday I went on and on about achieving your dreams and living life no matter what. For me that meant figuring out how to travel on the cheap.
I find that a lot of people wish they could see experience more places, if only they could afford to do it. They’re often surprised to [...]

I have now visited New York City two whole times and spent an entire six days in Manhattan. In other words, I am authentically and officially an expert on how to play tourist in New York City.
Of course, there is no way for me to pack the complete expansiveness of my extensive knowledge into [...]

As you know, I am something of a domestic goddess. I expect Martha Stewart herself to show up any day now… to permanently revoke my Woman Card.
Part of my role as Domestic Goddess is to come up with new and exciting things my family can eat. I have found that the best way [...]

So, as you might have heard, I went to a little blogger get together called TequilaCon on Friday.
Here’s how it went down:
At about 12:45, Avitable and I boarded a plane from Orlando heading to Philadelphia. Of course, we kissed our loved ones good by from our iPhones first.

The bad thing about traveling with Avitable [...]

I’ve been trying to eat healthier and force feed my family more nutritional stuff as well. Part of this involves me buckling down and getting back on my low carb diet. Part of that involves me running all over hell and highwater (where is highwater, exactly?) in search of all the ingredients needed [...]

There is a nasty rumor going around that I don’t know how to make Guacamole.
And, OK, so my last attempt didn’t end… um… well. I’ll give you that.
But! Since then! I have been redeemed!
No, really. I totally know how to make Guacamole now.
(you, stop snickering, I will show you…)
Allow me to [...]

Last night when I got home from work, I noticed something was… different.

Oooh! It’s a box! And look…

Whatever could it be?
Let’s open it and find out!

And in the box there was

No, really.

And inside the card… we have…

Awwww. Cards for everyone!
So, let’s get back to ME. It didn’t say “Miss Britt and [...]

Doesn’t “photo essay” sound so grown up?
ANYway, we celebrated a magnificent Thanksgiving with our friends Deanna and Lee. And while I could have been all sad that I was spending my first Thanksgiving without family, surrounded by a bunch of people who normally give thanks in October – I was too busy being overwhelmed [...]

Step 1: Buy two avocados – despite the fact that someone has them falling into his house for free on a daily basis.

Step 2: Peel and Chop Avocado

Step 3: Realize that you are not going to smash this by hand, no matter what the recipe says

Wonder why food processor/blender is not processing, nor blending…

Heh.
Smash avocado [...]
