The Elephant In The Room
It seems like an unlikely pursuit for me, but due to some unique circumstances I participate in a White Elephant every year. It’s all adults; no kids like Jane to ruin everyone’s good time while they’re being greedy. Traditionally, we … Continue reading
Denim For The People!
Normally jeans are strictly prohibited in my office, but we’ve declared the week between Christmas and New Year’s jeans week. We get ridiculously excited about it; the anticipation of it alone gets everyone jazzed. I don’t know what it is … Continue reading

When Dan and I moved into our new home in 1997, we struck up a conversation about where we would put our Christmas tree, if we had one, which we do not. I felt strongly that our fictional tree should … Continue reading
Will Work For Fashion

I Saw Something Blanking Santa Claus
I feel the need to discuss a very serious issue plaguing our country: Kitty Porn. I try not to judge but personally I think it’s disgusting. I know there are people out there who enjoy looking at pictures of innocent cats … Continue reading
The Year Jane Ruined Christmas
We’ve all seen the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol, but I know a real family who will never have Christmas again. It all started with a crying 6 year old, and not to point fingers, but she … Continue reading
