Picture it: Walmart, small town America, Friday night (what exciting lives we lead). We’re walking past the clothing section on our way to the grocery part when I notice a man standing very close to the mirror in the ladies department. He’s got his nose all smooshed over to one side and is popping zits.…

Restoration Hardware sells the most amazing stuff. One of my favorite things is Good Home Company’s Beach House linen spray. This spray literally smells exactly like a beach house.

Bitches and Balls So this morning the plan was to meet my mom at church, go to brunch, then to Michaels so she could pick out her yarn for her Christmas scarf. I got to church a minute or 2 late, I know you’re sooo surprised, and had to wait for the parade of nations…
