I’m thankful for dogs My dogs Two foster dogs and the three mommies who said Ours Mine For my mom who gave me room to make big mistakes Look at all that room, all those mistakes For Dad, an old dog who tries real hard to learn new tricks from his pups I’m thankful my [...]
I don’t know shit about makeup. My daily face ritual is and… Actually, no ‘and’. That’s it: Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper LipSmacker chapstick. On school picture day, I’ll powder my T-zone because otherwise it looks like you could wax a car with my forehead. And about two or three times a month, on a weekend [...]
So The irony (or not) is that my story had to do with being less than sanguine about turning 37, and being single, and having what I have, and not having what I don’t have. People keep asking me if they can read it, but—and this is weird because I told the story to 200 [...]
Still sunbathing here, so I asked my good friend Dan New Jersey to guest-blog today. I’m calling him Dan NJ because I actually have two friends named Dan who have the same last initial, and both read the blog. One is a born-again Christian who lives in Texas; he and I stomped around the same [...]
You’ns may recall a while back when a different Amy altogether took the blog wheel for a minute. Well, I’m on vacation so I’m relinquishing the keys once again for my enlightenment and yours. This post made me have lots of thoughts and feelings, which I’ll share when I’m not sunbathing, but I’m interested in [...]
Former boss/dear friend/reader/Avid Bruxist cheerleader Margo started her campaign three years ago. Actually, probably earlier than that, but she made it explicit then. I’M TRYING, MARGO. YOU KNOW I’M TRYING. (And failing.) Two years ago, CrossFit made me feel bad about myself. That’s interesting—it still does! (Running.) And it also makes me feel really proud of [...]
The illustrious head_of_fema and I got together yesterday afternoon to view another awesomely bad movie, Dinocroc vs. Supergator, which he owns on Blu-Ray, natch. Matt had first suggested Halle Berry’s Catwoman, but when I read that D vs. S included David Carradine “in one of his final performances [before he killed himself jerking off in Thailand]“, I knew [...]
Add your favorite kale recipe in the comments! We’ll all be pooping like champions!
I’m rull tired. I’m just starting to get almost enough sleep after seven weeks of being a petulant child about bedtime. And I hosted the Monti StorySLAM again on Tuesday. By all accounts, it went well. I feel like it went well. I think it went well. I was less nervous this time than for the last couple. [...]
Well, three years ago, I was duct-taping my puppy. Really sad I don’t have photographic evidence of that. Two years ago, I published my first password-protected post. (See the FAQ page for qualifications for password access.) I celebrated my first CrossFit-iversary one year ago today! (Shit, I should do a post about how totally beast—ha [...]
