Sickness And Being A Woman

I’m sick.

I’m achy and I’m miserable and my nose is runny and hurts and my head is stuffed up and my eyes are all itchy and I can’t stop sneezing and I just want to do nothing but lie down in bed and pretend like I don’t have a husband, children and a bearded dragon all depending on me for food or they will die.

Why is it that women don’t seem to get the “lay down and rest” treatment like their male counterparts do?

I’m not sure if it is my fault for not claiming my comfy bed the minute I got home or my family for not treating me like a delicate flower.

I prefer to blame the family. (Easier. Here’s hoping they don’t read my blog.)

What is it about me (or being a woman) that makes it so hard to let go and REST?

7 Year Old Gets Liposuction Gift From Mom {WTH?}

Every week I do a column for Want2Dish.com called Tweet Nothings.
This week’s focus gets my vote for mother-of-the-year 2012…

This story is so absurd that I almost didn’t believe it.

Seven-year-old Poppy Burge of England got a truly unique present from her mother this Christmas… a $11,000 voucher for liposuction.

I wish I were lying.

But I’m not.

The mother-of-the-year in question is Sarah Burge,51, a plastic surgery addict and self-proclaimed “Human Barbie.”  This isn’t the first time Burge has given her daughter such a unique gift. Oh no. The 7-year-old already has a credit on her account for breast enhancement surgery.

Because that is what every second grader needs, of course.

Click here to read the rest of the story. (Oh yes, it gets better.)

Yeah, He Makes Me So Proud. #notreally

A little ditty about the origins of the term douchebag. Apparently it was invented in the Gerlock house.

Makes a momma proud. Err… not really.

No son, you did not invent the word (mp3)

He is so getting coal for Christmas.

Shit Girls Say… HILARIOUS!

Feminists – don’t even bother to try to get offended. “Shit Girls Say” is hilarious.

I dare you to claim you haven’t found yourself uttering some of the phrases contained in the videos below. I know I am guilty as charged.

The videos (which quickly went viral) feature a man, dressed as a woman, in various life situations uttering those phrases we women are most certainly guilty of speaking aloud. (“I know, right?”) The concept originated on  Twitter via an account run by two Toronto comedians Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard.

Enjoy!

 

Episode 2

So which phrase are you most guilty of saying?

Haul Out The Holiday Lights

You know a holiday light display is going to be impressive when you need this type of equipment. It took them three days and massive equipment to put it all together. Yeah. My in-laws sure know how to haul out the holly. :)
