The one where I tell you to kindly shut up

June 20th, 2012 in anger and I have sat down for tea, confession of the day, here is my heart, it makes sense to me, it's a long one (twss), oh look! i have opinions., seriously, soapbox, sometimes i get violent, the J.O.B., today i am not funny, when i say it anyway

When you think you are casually bringing up the idea of “summer vacation” to a teacher, the reality is you are inadvertently being a douche. Because teachers and summer vacation don’t exist in the way you think they do. Non-teachers assume that teachers work from 9-3pm, get paid fairly and spend large parts of their day doing crafts. We wear witch earrings on Halloween, celebrate Christmas with carols and go on field trips to fun locales. We are rewarded for our pursuits with two months of pure rest and relaxation, where we will jet set the world with our easily …READ MORE

Macy. Kim. Me.

November 6th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, anger and I have sat down for tea, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, confession of the day, famous people make for good gossip, i can't believe i said that, i should be a cheerleader, i think this would make her proud, i wrote this just for the picture, note on a non-scandal, people i like, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wedding season is kicking my ass

So first of all, if you break out into hives when someone whispers the word “Kardashian”, this post is not for you. But here, look at my cute puppy before you go:

You want to see how adorable Macy is in her harness she wears because her walking speed is Mach 5? Okay! One more:

Now that you feel that you’ve swallowed a rainbow of happiness, you may leave.

On Why Mom Bloggers Make Me Bitter

June 21st, 2011 in 20something, AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, here is my heart, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, note on a non-scandal, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., seriously, Slyvia Path has nothing on me, thank you Eleni, the world according to me, when i say it anyway

Let’s just start out by saying this. I’m not 100% percent bitter, only about 83%. And not at all moms. Just 31% of them. But a title called “Why I’m 83% Bitter at 31% of Moms” gave my math phobic self severe heart palpitations.

One of my favourite bloggers once said “everyone has something”, a statement referring to the idea that each person is going through their own battle- a notion that has really hit home with me in the last few months. Bloggers with children are no exception. I read a lot of blogs of women in their 30′s and …READ MORE

Giuliana Rancic, Anger & My Clean Bathroom

April 18th, 2011 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, anger and I have sat down for tea, because I can't do report cards 24/7, confession of the day, don't hate me for this, famous people make for good gossip, i am slowly going crazy, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's ironic because I'm Canadian, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, sometimes i get violent, when i say it anyway

Everything came to a point today when I told Giuliana Rancic that her tweet was dumb and she sounded shallow. Sure, I said it differently, but that’s what I was feeling when she told her 2,152,611 followers to compliment people today and then only gave examples that related to appearance.

I’m not sure why I even gave it a second thought but before I knew it- I was steaming about it. I promptly replied that it sounded like a great idea but complimenting someone on something besides their appearance might make it even better.  And then I thought about it …READ MORE

The Facts of My Life

July 6th, 2009 in anger and I have sat down for tea, blame country music, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, earning my dork badge, famous people make for good gossip, find the dorkiest sentence in this, games we play, let's still be friends?, lists, music, oh look! i have opinions., the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, when i say it anyway, youtubing it in

Fact: I will be unable to tell people I’m going to a Taylor Swift concert this week without squealing like I’m a 14 year old girl. Which is perfect really, because that would make me fit into her actual demographic. (Related fact: This might be the cutest video ever. I’m only glad that I’m watching it at 28 years old instead of 14 years old because it would have just set unrealistic standards of what high school love is like. Not like now… now I watch The Notebook weekly to make sure my expectations are unreasonable.)

Fact: I should be …READ MORE

2008: The Angry One

January 4th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, anger and I have sat down for tea, competition makes me crazy, confession of the day, disappointment, i can't believe i have a football tag, movies, other people say it better, politics, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS.

Things that really pissed me off in 2008 by Mr. 5280 5. George Bush. The absolute best thing he did all year was dodge two shoes that were thrown at him during a press conference. He showed cat-like reflexes to dodge the shoe thrower and this single act alone probably saved him from the number one spot.

4.  Adam Sandler, “Don’t Mess With the Zohan”. I sent Adam an email after this movie, begging him to STOP IT. His brilliance in “Waterboy”,”Happy Gilmore” and “Billy Madison,” is going to be overshadowed by these mediocre cinematic flops. He used to bring …READ MORE

The good, the bad & the irrational anger

October 21st, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, brookem is awesome!, confession of the day, disappointment, i complain because I care, i might be addicted to tags, I've fallen into a funk and I can't get up, stuff like this makes me want to quit, wedding season is kicking my ass, what the hell

Confession: I haven’t really liked myself lately.

This has nothing to do with my hair not cooperating or the fact that my favorite fall clothes are not fitting the way I like. It’s more than that. It’s less than that. I haven’t liked my attitude lately. And by that I mean, if I could figure out a painless way to curb stomp some sense into me, I would.

I’ve been sleeping well. I’ve been visiting friends. I’ve been working regularly. I’ve been running and reading and writing in my journal. I’ve been taking my vitamins, deep conditioning my hair, remembering …READ MORE

What I’m currently disliking hating with every shred of my soul

September 23rd, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, anger and I have sat down for tea, find the great TWSS line!, i complain because I care, it happened this week, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, lists, oh look! i have opinions., politics, proof i attract crazy, seriously, stuff like this makes me want to quit, the one that nobody reads because of the title, what the hell, when I look like a tramp, who needs a self help book?, work, youth

You know when bloggers write out a list of things they are currently disliking or things that are pissing them off? I love those posts. If I see a blogger has written one, I save it till last in my google reader.  I like that they give everyone an opportunity to see a blogger in a different light. I like that they are usually completely unapologetic. I love that they are always so honest.

I’ve never done one before, mostly because my list of what I’m usually hating goes something … 1.Sarah Palin when she’s being smug 2. cream cheese …READ MORE

If you have testicles, grab a pen

September 8th, 2008 in advice, AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, friends, i laugh when i say "balls", I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's a long one (twss), it's almost like a meme, karma is going to get you, lists, men, oh look! i have opinions., relationships, the devils worker bees, the title says it all, the world according to me, this might be why I'm single, when i say it anyway, who's the boss now?

There are few mysteries that trouble the world as deeply as those relating to the male species. I imagine the dawn of time cave women scratched out their man problems on dusty cave walls lit only by torches that reflected their fat tears which tasted of salt and heartbreak.

Was that too much? Yeah, I thought so too.

In all honesty, I don’t really cry that often over men. I suspect that my ‘tears for a man’ reservoir was ran dry due to one man who left me crying for so long my cheeks forgot what they were like to …READ MORE
