the fort collins homesick blues (with my apologies to gary p. nunn)
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now Christmas is looming. This year I’ll be spending it in Texas. Y’all have heard of Texas, right? I spent Thanksgiving in Colorado, with no snow and pleasantly mild weather. I expect Texas in December to be about the same. While I do love a good white Christmas, I’ve been…

thoughts on thanksgiving
Thanksgiving, the most genocidal of all holidays. My apologies to Native Americans, but this will actually not be a political post. I’m not afraid to say it: I love this holiday and I love turkey! I ate a turkey sandwich everyday for lunch for two years. There’s nothing like Thanksgiving, although this year I’ll be house…

story time – bond style
What is the only thing that could ruin the premiere of Skyfall? Not a lot, but a probably drunk underage chick puking on you will certainly do it. All names and places have been changed to protect the innocent (SIKE! If I knew this chick’s name, I’d totally tell you.) Well, actually she didn’t puke…

Did I just become a (Kenny Rogers Style) gambler?
In all my time in Colorado, this weekend was the first time I hit the slots in Blackhawk. And I loved it! I started things off with some penny slots, with a little confusion (so many buttons!) but also little luck. So we moved on to the real action – blackjack. And I was on…

the mystery and wonder of kitchen utensils
Let’s discuss kitcheny things, shall we? My mom is an amazing chef. She sometimes teaches cooking classes, and has a myriad of different experiences in the industry. I’m not sure if she realizes what a sub-par cook I am (well, now she might – hi mom!). Regardless, we have done the “I’m gonna teach you…

what do hockey players look like under all that padding?
I will definitely be attending a few Colorado Eagles games this season – my hotshot is what you call a pretty big fan. I used to dismiss it as just an adorable quirk of his, but in the last couple of seasons I’ve gone from “Eagles? Why not just keep driving and watch some professional hockey…

Confessions of a living baseball jinx
I have a confession to make. I am the reason my beloved Rangers lost this week to the Orioles. My southern hospitality and amazing hostess manners are to blame. I loaned my lucky #32 Rangers shirt to a friend in duress (she needed a change of clothes for a walk of shame just a walk! a plain ol…

it’s been a funny weekend.
Because I found this on the interwebs: I know it’s not PC, but go ahead and try not to giggle. The fact that somebody went to the trouble to make this at all makes me smile: Also I saw this: Who is this guy? Besides my new youtube crush, obviously. And in honor of Halloween…
