The Divine Secrets of a Southern Diva

Observations drenched in chocolate, best enjoyed with a fine wine.

5 Years.

Mike and I first met 5 years ago today. Our lives are so very different now and it took us a long time to get here, but it was so worth it. Even in the suckiest of times, I don’t think I would have changed anything because we learned so much each other. We’ve been [...]

It’s Christmastime!

I KNOW that I’ve not blogged in forever- Oct 18 to be precise, but I’ve been BUSY! Between work, babyfest 2009, traveling and houseguests my time has been stretched superthin.  I’m not bitching, though. I’m just ‘splainin’ why I haven’t been around.  I like my  life like this, I just need a small break. Like [...]

Things that aren’t right with the world.

Miley Cyrus is going to be in the Sex In The City movie. What in the fuck? Why must you spoil my bff homage to all things awesome with that little twat? A piece of my soul just dried up and shriveled. New season of Celebrity Apprentice starring Brett Michaels and Rod  Blagojevich. That’s the [...]

I really, really need to blog more.

It’s so sad, really. I love to write.  I just don’t seem to have the energy to do anything remotely creative when I get home. It’s like it all gets sucked out of me at work. BUT, I’m going to make myself do it more often. If I don’t, y’all have my permission to beat [...]

Oh, how I love my TV.

Both my actual TV and my new TV. We got a new HDTV for the living room and moved the living room HDTV to the bedroom. We got all high-tech up in this bitch. No more standard def! (Hey, does anyone want to buy a nice but ridiculously heavy standard def tv? It’s really, really [...]

It’s Jeanine FOR THE WIN.

She sold me on that solo. GOD, the pirouettes into a paused attitude.  Hello?! THAT alone should make her the winner. And that PASO.  Katie Swick, THAT is what I’m talking about when I say Paso is my favorite Latin Dance. That was easily the best I’d ever seen. I think Brandon was great. I [...]

A Moment to Brag About My Man

A few weeks ago, Mike told me about a photography contest put on by The Houstonist. He was interested and started looking into some of his work to see what he would submit. Then, the last day submissions would be accepted, I asked him about it. He was all *shrug*. I was all *DO IT*. [...]

Carrie Day

Man, I love this picture. This so us. All three of us. Me, Carrie and Amy. Lord knows what we are singing. The picture was taken at Nick and Crystal’s wedding in October of 1999 where Carrie and I were bridesmaids (if that weren’t obvious from the matching dresses). Aside from her own wedding, this [...]

500 Days of Summer- A lovely date.

500 Days of Summer is a quirky love story with a slight twist – it’s told from the dude’s perspective. It’s not like that is the first time, but generally those dudes are spineless whiners who let the chicks treat them like last week’s Chinese takeout. This wasn’t like this. This was a tale of [...]

Fabulous.

That’s me. And lots of other plus-size chicks. Big chicks. “Real women”. What-the-fuck-ever you want to label us. Personally, I like to call us women.  You know, with breasts and hips and high-heels. Some of us have sass and some of us have shampoo-commercial hair. You see us every day, walking past you at the [...]
