in This is an ad. But it's a bad-ass ad.

  My friend Kimberly is an amazing artist and fabulous woman, as evidenced by this painting of a dog having more fun than I will ever have in my whole life.  That dog is an asshole.  But he reminds us to have fun no matter how ridiculous we look.  That asshole dog is my hero.  And so is Kimberly because her proceeds go to helping animal welfare groups.  Check her out.  Buy a painting.  Commission a portrait.  Save a furiously happy asshole’s life.

MY INSTAGRAM

Got an unexpected box in the mail labeled “for you to store eyeballs in” which is both terrifying and intriguing. A lovely hand-painted purse so I can carry my beastie with me everywhere.
Finally, Victor sets the record straight on his side of the story.
Amount of time it’s taken me to take down the Xmas tree this year - 5 months, 20 days.
Tried to sneak into this abandoned house near us but Victor wouldn’t let me bc of laws/snakes so instead I stood outside and then a vulture was like, “HI CAN I HELP?” and landed on the roof and I’m pretty sure that’s a dark magic invitation to go in.

ALL THE COOL KIDS ADVERTISE HERE:

I fucking love these people & not just because they support my wine-slushee habit:

Flourish in Progress: (T)hug Life: Part hood. Part good.

Pregnancy Calendar at Alpha Mom: Amalah’s week-by-week guide to the miracle of pregnancy and all the various indignities that come with it.

Heather Mosko: Sharing the weird and crafty I find along the way as I research and write my next mystery.

The Mack Files: Digesting life in bite-sized pieces through the lens of clichés, quotes & “truisms”.  Often irreverent, always honest.

Candid Kay: A heaping pile of steaming good.

Barking at the Moon: If your dog is your furry child, you will laugh out loud at Tracy Beckerman’s book about her family & a one-dog wrecking ball named Riley.

Talking Tatas: For the Love of Your Boobs.

No Pithy Phrase: Is my freak flag upside down again?

Kieran’s Humor: Not suitable for children, the sensitive, or those hoping to get into heaven.

Perfectionist Anonymous: Proudly serving unpolished working motherhood, with bipolar depression and hilarity on the side.

Relatively Painless: “My only complaint is that I wanted more, which is a good complaint to have. It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again and then pee and then cry. Lots of fluids lost. But in a good way. A book to make you appreciate the tragically funny and beautiful horror of family.” — Jenny Lawson — use code BLOGGESS for $5 off a ticket to a live reading!

The Dating Days of Marta O: When I told my sister I was building a blog she asked ‘Do people still read blogs?’ I don’t know, but if YOU want to read it, click on the link. Keep in mind, reading about dating after 40 is for the brave. ~Marta O

Dear Childhood Me: Your inner child deserves all the love in the world—and, yes, even if that love is in the form of reflecting back on the time as a kid when you buried the PB&J in the backyard, dug it up the next day, and ate it.

The Art of Holly Eaton: Realism with a hint of surrealism! Paintings and Prints. Reasonably priced art for reasonable people

They Called Him Marvin: They were just kids, barely not teenagers. Desperate to be a family but a B29 and a war got in their way.
