Another Freakin’ Growth Opportunity

you want easy? i’ll show ya easy…

There’s no such thing as easy. 

There. I said it. Oh oh…

INCOMINGGGGGGGGGGGGG….

I guess the disguise didn’t fool Them.  

Damn! They find me every time. 

Wait. I thought I killed Them and They

They Must Die

I had to kill Them. Jeesh. My work is never done! (Incidentally, I just made some cookies in the shape of dead people. My kids loved  them! Sickos.)

Okay, so I guess some people don’t want to hear that there’s no such thing… READ MORE

The Language of FOOD

Does your food talk to you? 

when food talks

I said no!

food can't talk

And so it goes.

The battle with food never ends. As long as you believe food can talk to you, you will stay in a struggle.

But food cannot talk. 

It doesn’t have lips. 

When we say things like, “the cupcake was calling my name,” we hand our power over to the cupcake. 

Oh, and another thing: food is not your friend.

It’s Rainin’ Men

I had some fun on Facebook this week when I asked my girlfriends this question:

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word MEN?

Suffice to say that we women sure have strong feelings when it comes to our men.

The best way to sum it up is:

You can’t live with ‘em, you can’t live without ‘em, and you can’t stop thinking about them.

Much. 

That’s because:

MEN ARE EVERYWHERE!

The Things I Do For You!

I’m gonna go all rogue here and say something a mother should never admit.

Never!

It’s just bad form.

It goes against the rules of mommyquette.

But, since I am your leader, I shall proceed.

First I need to put on my disguise.

No one must ever know I said this.

Oy… the things I do for you.

Promise you won’t blow my cover?

Wouldn’t want anyone gettin’ all up in my grill for tellin’… READ MORE

TGIF: Thank God I’m Female

The other day I felt that familiar pang I get whenever I hear something irksome bordering on insanity.  My friend and fellow attorney/kife loach Dana Boyle, told me that her doctor said this to her:

God gives all the bad stuff to females because men can’t handle it. 

He meant it as a compliment.

Hmmmm.

I could feel the heat starting to rise inside me…

Put-downs disguised as compliments are fed to women… READ MORE

‘Anger Hell’ Really Pisses Me Off!!!

Anger is overrated.

Anger is what we do when we’re lazy about our feelings.  When we can’t be bothered to go deeper to figure out what’s really going on inside our heads.

And it’s often not at all about what it seems to be on the surface.

But…

If….

(and it’s a really big if)

…we can catch ourselves before the ‘ROARRRRR’….

And just get curious about what’s really going on… about what’s REALLY buggin’ you…

No. No. No.… READ MORE

Today’s class is about sh!t. Sorry.

Have you ever tried to help someone who didn’t want your help?

I mean, they make it seem like they want your help, but they really don’t.

They want your ears

I have made this mistake over and over and over and ov…… 

Why? 

Because I think I’m being asked for advice. 

And I give it with reckless abandon. 

The thing about advice is, we tell ourselves we’re giving it because we want to help the… READ MORE

How to REALLY Win an Argument. Without Bloodshed!

So.

The other day….

I had a fight, argument, tiff, altercation, disagreement, point of contention with another kife loach.  It went something like this…

Anonymous Kife Loach:  Oops.  Was it something I said?

Me:     Well, now that you mention it…

AKL:     Can I tell you where I’m coming from?

Me:      Arent’ all men from Mars? Sorry. That was rude. Um, sure, go ahead.

AKL:     Well, my intention was blah blah blah… READ MORE

Why I oughta….

I drive a big fat car.

It’s soooooo big that it actually makes my butt look small.  In fact, it makes everything look small. 

 

Some people might even say my car is messy.  And this brings me to…

MY AFGO MOMENT OF THE MONTH…

My car isn’t just a car. I spend a good part of my day life in my car.  It’s my home away from home.  It’s my office on wheels.  It… READ MORE
