Your boss, your landlord and your mother walk into a bar… and she sits down to order a drink. There is no punchline. This intro is not a joke. Instead, it's my life. In January of this year I decided I was done being unhappy in my relationship with my boyfriend of almost 7 years … Continue reading Guest Post: How To Survive Moving Back Home

Best Faraway Friend; The New-Age BFF
When it comes to acronyms, I've got my life on lock. I've got my BF Orie, who is actually my husband now but old habits die hard. I've got my MIL, who is my mother-in-love and my second mom. I've got my BFF Jess, who is my best friend forever and my actual better half. … Continue reading Best Faraway Friend; The New-Age BFF
Why Every Girl Needs A Kim
It's not a secret that I'm going through a slump right now. You can tell because of my whiny, self-indulgent previous post, plus the fact that I keep missing weeks of blogging which (I like to think) is unusual for me. I nearly missed this week, too; I watched as the afternoon came and went, … Continue reading Why Every Girl Needs A Kim
Your Mom, Your Boss and Your Landlord Walk Into a Bar…
They take one look at you and ask if you're wearing fake eyelashes. You say, "...yes. I got lash extensions. Do you li-" "They look fake." "DAMMIT MOM THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE MY REAL EYELASHES." J F C It's been a long week, ya'll. A LONG. ASS. WEEK. I am tired.

My Sex Dream ft. Vin Diesel
If any of you follow us on Twitter (which you should, since how else will you know when we've posted?!), then you know that once again, Jessica promised she'd write a post. She likes to do that every now and then, presumably to remind me that she's still capable of crushing my hopes without so … Continue reading My Sex Dream ft. Vin Diesel
In Memoriam
It's been a year since a very good friend of mine decided he'd had enough, and that year has been a long, weird time. It's strange - he left us on February 29th, so I wasn't sure which day was really the anniversary of his loss. In the end it didn't matter, since the entire … Continue reading In Memoriam
Social Media and the Illusion of Friendship
I've made no secret of the fact that I am obsessively into following cute little indie shops in Instagram, especially ones with motivational and empowering messages. It's sort of like a pastime at this point, curating my Instagram feed with quality content and keeping clued in to the makers and masterminds behind the stuff I … Continue reading Social Media and the Illusion of Friendship
Cutting Loose; How to Know When a Friendship Has Soured
If you’re in any phase of adulthood – young adulthood, pre-adulthood, firmly-entrenched-in-as-evidenced-by-my-mortgage adulthood – you’ve had your fair share of friendships. You likely have learned the eye-opening lesson that with full-time jobs and grown-up responsibilities comes less free time, and less free time means less opportunity to spark and cultivate friendships. The older you get, … Continue reading Cutting Loose; How to Know When a Friendship Has Soured
I Just Can’t Stop Having Sex, Part Two
I interrupt my own workday to bring you THIS. I am not pregnant. By the way, this is Jessica, not Grace. Yes, I have risen from my grave. Grace is definitely still pregnant and proud. I, coincidentally, am petrified of getting pregnant. Not because I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to care for a child … Continue reading I Just Can’t Stop Having Sex, Part Two
Don’t Be A Boyfriend Girl
I mentioned in passing in a previous post that as a teenager, I was a ‘boyfriend girl’. I tended to mold my personality to best please whichever boy I was dating at the time, meaning I got exposed to some pretty weird stuff. Since that post, I’ve wanted to elaborate on what exactly that means … Continue reading Don’t Be A Boyfriend Girl
