Blogger popularity contests are the new skinny jeans.

Ahhh, skinny jeans… we wanted to buy into you.  We wanted the promise of “skinny”.  We saw you everywhere, so clearly you must’ve been awesome, popular, and oh so worth it.  But why oh why were the majority of us just left feeling… uncomfortable.

Dear Chaz Bono – I guess I’m pretty traditional.

I suppose my family is what you would call a “traditional” family. I am heterosexual, married, have a young child, one on the way, and two dogs. We have also altered our financial lifestyle so that I can stay home with our children while they are very young and my husband works.

Hail to the evolution of parenting.

I read a blog post on BlogHer the other day titled, Why Our Parents Put Us To Shame.  While I agree there are some things we can take away from how we were parented, I found myself disagreeing with most of the article.

Kia ad campaign- Creativity? Oversensitivity? Or just plain sleazy?

What’s with all the questions, Jenni?

Please call me a pussy.

It was eons ago.  I don’t know what we were watching on TV.  I don’t know what we had for dinner.  But something sparked this out of my Hot Nerd:

“Why do so many slang words that are feminine have to have negative connotations. That’s a little sexist don’t you think?  You know- cunt, pussy, etc… Why the hell is that?”

I don’t write for free except on those occasions when I write for free.

You may have on occasion seen me tweet about how “the only person who can ask me to write for no pay is me.  And only after some serious buttering up.”

I don’t believe in Mississippi.

My husband and I were watching a TV show several weeks ago that was talking about obesity in America.  Actually, I think it was that What Would You Do show and the scenario was that a waiter was refusing to serve a person based on the fact that he thought she was too fat.
