The Many Faces of 13.
So, my lil blog crush, Adri, he’s in the process of writing a story that involves a 13 year old girl and all the Angst that comes with it. I offered to send my thirteen year old to him so he’d have first hand experience with the Angst, but he paled and declined the offer. (read: ran away screaming!) Dammit.

But when she relaxes, she is stunning… And some days, like today, her true colors […]
Teenagers are Fun!
I know, I keep saying that, but they are! Maybe it’s just MY teenagers… Me: What’s that in your back pocket? Boy: my wallet. Me: the OTHER pocket. Boy: A love letter. Me: YAY! FROM WHO? Boy: Not telling. Me: From G? (That’d be his best bud, a boy, of course.) Boy: No. Me: From […]
Conversations with The Girl.
The Snark is Live and Well with this one. We’ve been watching “Can you Duet” on CMT because we’re hopeless and bored and well, it breeds conversations like the following. The tagline of the show is “So we ask you, Can you Duet?” but it sounds more like “do it” which is a breeding ground […]
