Store Your Liquor

Also, Ashley over at As a Matter of Opinion... is giving away a really cute winerack. Wanna see it?


Cute, right? (And, if you're Simon Larter, don't worry... I'll bet you could substitute vodka bottles instead of wine. A vodka rack. What a novel idea!)

So, click here to enter. Or, don't, and I'll have a better chance to win. Muhahahahahahahaaaaaah.












Lastly...

A Little Pimpin' of My Ownself

Please click here and read my latest Louisville New Moms article on Examiner.com. (It's a featured article on the main Louisville page right now. It's so exciting. Well, that might be because I made all my coworkers read it earlier. Hmm. Whatever works!)

Also, if you haven't already, you need to guess whether or not I'm having a boy or a girl. Because my next ultrasound is a week from today... and when I find out if I'm on Team Blue of Team Pink, my vague-contest (no one knows what the prize will be) will end immediatelyspice.

Deets from original post:
Get busy. One guess per entrant. You have to guess the sex correctly to get an entry, unless you tweet or blog about the giveaway, in which case you'll get two entries in spite of getting the gender in question right or wrong.... but let me know in the comments how many entries I should give you, okay?


To simpify your life, you can enter my contest in the comments on this post. Right here, right now. Do it.

LINKAGE! WOOT!

And that is rather a fetching wine rack. Although my preferred storage location for my vodka is the freezer. This will be that much simpler after this week, since we've added a chest freezer in the basement. Lots of room for wokda, da? :)

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

My "Fucher"

Over a year ago, my mom and dad decided to clean clutter out of their own house and, in an attempt to streamline, they went ahead and gave me boxes of things they had saved from my childhood -- if I'm honest, things I didn't really expect I see until they died or something gruesomespice like that. Whatever, it's fine. I'm not complaining about it, even though it isn't like I really have the room in my house for boxes of cards I was given when I was five, or worksheets and stories I wrote in the second grade. I hadn't even really dug into those boxes until last night. I found one little "story" I wrote (and we'll use the word story lightly here) called MY FUCHER. (It took me a minute to realize I'd meant MY FUTURE.) Hilar. My Fucher I want to mary a boy who will stay home all day and clean the house. I would not stay home. I would work as a singer or hope to. I want to have a babey girl. I would name her Lynn or Trecey or Nciol. I woul...
