London, Baby!

As many of you know, my husband and I recently returned from vacation; we were in Ireland visiting family, and we took a short side trip to London. Now, I could go on and on about what we did each day, but I don't think you're that interested. Instead, I'm just going to tell you …

We don’t need more friends!*

I mentioned on Monday that I was in Madison, Wisconsin over the weekend with some of my favorite humans. Those humans were my girlfriends, and we were on our annual girls' trip. Rachel, Katy, and I drove up together Friday afternoon. We chatted, ate some snacks, and I spilled water all over myself when Katy …

The Return!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!! Ugh, guys, I can't tell you how much I missed being The Married Cat Lady! I am beyond excited to be back! Now, depending on how loyal a follower you are, you may or may not know why I was on hiatus. This is why: On that fateful Monday, I was actually out all day …

Nashville Part 2: But I’m Rachel!

Did you miss Part 1? Catch up on our adventures HERE. My sister Rachel called our room the next morning-- not my cell phone, no, the blaring room phone-- to bring her a bottle of water. We had kept the entire case, and she and John woke up with zero water. I walked over to their room, …

Nashville Day 1: Middle Seat Driver

Do you know what it's like to sit in the middle seat of a car for seven hours? Ew, no, of course not. Why would anyone do that? To get five people down to Nashville, that's why. My hubby, my sister, her boyfriend, and our friend Katie took a road trip down to Nashville a …

At the Car Wash, Yeah!

This is what my car looked like this morning: Yep. Covered in bird poop. My very mean husband makes me park on the street because my car leaks a little oil, and he doesn't want it to leak on our new driveway. So, every spring when the birds return to our trees and have babies, they …

Headed to the Thea-tah

My mom, my sister, my aunt and I are subscribers to the Goodman Theatre in Chicago; every few weeks we get together to grab dinner and some wine, and go see our show. Sometimes we intersperse with additional shows throughout the year. Last week, we went to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Oriental …

Can you pop Bob’s boil?

When I got home from work yesterday, Husband said to me, "Bob's coming over. I told him you get a boner for popping things, so you need to pop a boil in his ear." "What? A boil? I don't know if that's in my repertoire..." (I was going to put a picture of an ear …

The Deathly Vinos

A few months ago, I discovered that my library was hosting a BYOB Harry Potter trivia night. This immediately caught my eye because it involved two of my favorite things: Harry Potter and beverages. I immediately texted my friend Katy, who is also a fan of those things. "There is a BYOB Harry Potter trivia …

Our Gypsy Vacation

So I started writing a book about two years ago… I wrote about sixty-five pages and then it petered out; I may come back to it eventually, but I bring it up because it started with my girlfriends—a lot of what I wrote was based on real experiences. I have THE best group of girlfriends—you …
