“I learned about human growth and development,” Jaycie said at 7:20 this morning, a mere five minutes after she arrived.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“It means getting my. . . ” she started in her normal voice and then suddenly dropped down to a whisper., “period.”
“Oh,” I said.” “I didn’t realize they had a new name for [...]

Bookclub Bitches #12: The Inevitable clip show, now without clips
powered by ODEO
Since FFJ was busy giving birth, we decided to take a month off from reading a new book for Bookclub Bitches and instead revisit all our old podcasts and talk about if we had changed our mind on any of the books we’ve read thus far.
I didn’t. Of course.
However one book that I [...]

The Sex in the City movie
You will undoubtedly read, hear, or try to avoid something about the Sex in the City movie this week. I did some reading and a lot of avoiding. What I read was not good, and I went to the movie this afternoon* completely prepared to hate the materialistic dreck that so many reviewers had dubbed [...]

Proof #481 that I am psychic
I was just sitting here staring at a blank word doc waiting for brilliance to appear, an “A Different World” rerun on in the background when I was hit by a tidal wave of craving so strong and fierce it knocked me out of the La-Z-Grrl and right into my shoes.
Even though I had [...]

The happiest DMV in all the land
“You live in Shakopee?” The woman with Mondovi hair and white, shiny teeth behind the counter of the DMV asked me.
“Yep,” I said.
“What brings you out here?”
“I used to live in Prior Lake.” I paused for a minute while I tried to remember how to fill out a check. As I was signing my name [...]

He has a well-developed palate
Every Wednesday I ask Nolan what he wants for breakfast and he says he wants a Super Muffin or eggs. Since I’ve been slack about the whole grocery shopping thing lately, we’ve been having a lot of eggs. Once I’m done making his eggs and he’s sitting at the table he inevitably asks for some [...]

Arguments had at Supergenius HQ before 9 a.m.
“Jodi what are you doing?” Liam asked.
“I’m watching Dude Weather,” I said.
“I don’t want to watch Dude Weather,” he said. “Let’s watch the Spiderman dance.”
I click Dude Weather anyway. “Tough noogies.”
“HEEEEYYYY,” Liam screeches. “That’s not Spiderman.”
“It’s cool like Spiderman.”
Liam stops for a moment to watch. “He’s not dancing.”
“He’s giving us the weather,” I said.
“He should [...]

The most wonderful time of the year
My BFK stopped by this afternoon to drop off my birthday gift. How awesome is he? He’s a cookie jar and is already filled with delicious nuttery buttery Nutter Butters.

Much like summer loving, summer reading will be a blast
Because I am 99% Booknerd and 1% music-geek-wannabe, I have designated June rock and roll month. What gives me such authority? The fact that my birthday is on the sixth day of the sixth month and this year I’ll be thirty-six. Did I make that up right now? Hell yes.
It’s been a long time since [...]

The Times profiles Amanda Lorber of The Paper
Tonight is the season finale of my all-time favorite show ever, MTV’s “The Paper.” Once I am done writing and reading for the day, I have great plans to re-watch all the episodes before tonight’s finale. Oh hell yes, I am that nerdy. I am going to miss Amanda Lorber, she’s my favorite, which is [...]

Hello awkward, have a seat next to me
This is some of the advice I left for my friends Scooter and Anna at their wedding last night. Being that I was the only single person over the age of 8 in the joint, I thought I’d be better offdispatching wise words to live by for people of any sort of couple-status and not [...]
