....And To HAUL A Good Night!

See this picture? Let's play a quick game of The Price Is Right. If you were in front of Bob Barker (or Drew Carey, which I personally think is blasphemy, but that's for another post) and he asked you for the "actual retail price of these items" what would you say? Let me give you some hints. The Pert shampoos go for $3.99 on sale at Walgreens....those Dove shampoos are somewhere around $4-5. The Osteo Bi-flex retails for $19.99, the Krill/Fish oil tablets $27.99 a box.

Now...as Bob Barker would say, "The actual retail price IS......"

Day Two: "You Mean I Have To Do More Of This Shit?"

Day Two of our "Reboot"
You're probably wondering where the "Day One" post is. There wasn't one. And there's a damn good reason why...

What The F*ck Were We Thinking?

In a momentary lapse of any sort of rational judgement, I agreed to do the unthinkable. It's preposterous...it's ludicrous....it's a death wish...it's....

ROCK THE VOTE!

Dear people I like...and even the ones I don't....
Every day, I bring you awesome fun ways to waste time at work, or ways to procrastinate doing the dishes, etc.

Does Someone Hate Your Kids?

In case you haven't heard, people like to complain.
Whether about noise, or smells, or other offenses to the senses.
The most recent complaint is no exception.
People don't like your kid.

First Ever GIVEAWAY!!

With all the hubub of the holiday weekend, I was too busy to post yesterday as I said I would.  You all have my deepest apologies!

Without further ado....The Rules for my first giveaway!!

Happy 4th of July!

Today is a day I will forgive you for not reading Rose And The City. :)
Go forth, on the Fourth....to the beach, to the park, to a barbeque.
Have a hot dog, or a "meat substitute tofu weiner". Drink a cocktail, (only if you're not driving), hug your family, hug a solider...just do yourself a favor and get his or her permission first or it could get weird.

Happy Independence Day America...let us not forget why we are free...and who made it so.

Move Over Skeletor! We are HUNGRY! (Also....a GIVEAWAY!!!)

WHO IS THIS? Read on to find out!

I never thought I would live to see the day, that supermodel Kate Moss would be referred to as "curvy"...let alone fat. I never thought much about how absolutely weight crazy this country had become. I never thought I would start to truly accept my body and learn to listen to it's wants and needs. I never thought I would go "Hungry".

Letter To Our Exes

Before I show you the final letter, I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who commented, shared and re-tweeted my post asking for your submissions. It has been my most popular, most read post EVER. That is so incredible, and so is the final result. Finally, you all get the last word. This was your chance to say the things you couldn't say, or didn't say for whatever reason. The stories are yours, the words are yours...and I couldn't be happier for all my readers banding together to make this happen. I got so many responses, I had to break it into two posts.
Without further ado...here is our Letter To Our Exes PART ONE:

It's All Fun And Games Till Someone Gets Maced

I have a friend. We will call him "J". He's a nice enough guy, your average teddy bear type. But for some unknown reason...he has the WORST luck with women. And no, I am not exaggerating. I have never met someone who is getting crapped on more in his quest to no longer walk the planet alone.

When Did Skeletor Become Master Of The Universe?

Do you dream of looking like this? 

Did I miss something?
It feels like I woke up one day, and the world pulled the rug out from under me.
When did sickly, skeletal waifs become the latest trend? What do we call this look? Emaciated Chic?

1990 Called, They Want Their Punchline Back...

I walked into the kitchen, and Andrew was standing there with a hammer. He had a nail in the other hand. 

I watched him strike the nail, driving it into the wall until it was where he wanted it. He then turned and smiled at me. 

I smiled back.

Road Trip!

It's officially summer (finally) and if you're anything like me, you suddenly have the uncontrollable urge to hit the open road. But you are faced with a huge dilemma. And it's not the painfully absurd price of gasoline.

Help Bring Lauren Home!

This is a far cry from my usual wit and sarcasm, but something this serious calls for drastic measures. Tonight I am asking for your help in locating missing college student Lauren Spierer from Bloomington, Indiana. Her family needs everyones help raising awareness and effort to locate Lauren and bring her home.

Rage Against Reality

Almost everyone is guilty of watching at least one episode of "reality" tv. Let me remind you that there is nothing at all "real" about these shows. Including most of the breasts.

YOUR RESPONSE NEEDED! LETTERS TO OUR EXES

Did you ever wish you had gotten the last word? So many of us out there have dealt with complicated, awful breakups. For whatever reason we either didn't say what we REALLY meant to, said or done something we wish we hadn't. Life is about moving on, not holding onto "what ifs" and "should haves".  Rarely in life do we get a do-over.
