Awesome sauce (the sarcastic kind)

A few things.
Saturday morning G and I went to breakfast—good times.  Then, we went to an antique store because I watch entirely too much HGTV and was all ‘yes!  I, Tiffany, should go to an antique shop, buy an old chest of drawers* for $20, and refurbish it all by myself.  And, because I’m really [...]

School Daze

This week around the blogosphere I’ve seen a lot of pictures—pictures of children waiting at school bus stops, climbing the school bus steps, waving from school bus windows.  It’s like school buses gone wild up in here and, not having school-age children, I’m feeling a little left out.  A few posts even made me tear up [...]

Hispanics give me tourettes

So I’ve been hanging out with my kids—doing things that have nothing to do with Dora the Explorer or any of her cousins—and outside.  Like, in nature with trees and grass and no air conditioning.  I’m sure they’ve forgotten about our excursions already—those sweaty memories.  Never mind my crippled foot and that I practically suffered [...]

How to get punched in the neck at Ikea

To say that ‘I love Ikea’ would be the understatement of my nearly 31 years of existence.  I ‘need’ Ikea is more like it.  We have a psycho stalker type relationship in which a salivate (that’s right, salivate) over the catalog, tearing out pages and circling items and prices and all those not so pronounceable [...]

The 7-Year Itch

(I posted this at House of Dolls earlier this week so, if you read it there already, um, yeah…you’ll get over it.)
The husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago while we were in Florida.  I use the word ‘celebrated’ loosely as the mere acknowledgement of said anniversary went something [...]

The ‘Doll Yourself Up’ Giveaway!

No, this is not my move from Miranda to Carrie, (quite honestly, I kind of love Miranda.  Cynicism is endearing in 2010.  You heard it here first).   The timing of this giveaway at the blog I share with Kristen and Summer, House of Dolls, is purely coincidental.  I mean, it’s not like we’re giving away [...]

Traveling Circus

We are currently on the road, headed south to that state in which humidity does evil things to my hair and I get caught in the rain without an umbrella at least once.  Because what’s Florida without a random torrential downpour? 
We are in the car—all of us, me, the husband, kids, and the Ikea portable [...]

Every once in a while, people come out of me

Friday was LB’s first birthday. 
He’s a pretty cute kid.  Unfortunately, I can take no credit for said cuteness because he looks nothing like me.  Everyone that comes out of my uterus looks like the husband.  We’ve been through this already but, to quote some 90’s rap song that probably had a video with half naked [...]

Normal-sized foreheads aside…

Tyra Banks and I are practically twins right now.  At least, I’m twins with the Tyra Banks in this 2 second video.  Growling and stroke like squinty eye included.  I have a group presentation tonight and we all know how much I love group work–and presentations. 
Seriously.  Nervous poos–they’re a’comin.

Semantics

My dad is, in a word, interesting.
He is lovely and needs to be right.  Even if he knows he’s not right he’s all ‘Meh. ’ Besides, everyone else is usually riled up and beside themselves, and, honestly, I think it’s all rather entertaining.
He is quick witted and laughs at his own jokes.  His laugh is [...]

I’m Tiffany. I like correcting people’s grammar mid sentence and faux texting when I don’t want anyone talking to me. Also, if I have to watch another episode of Dora the Explorer, I might soil myself.
