“I May Be Childless, But I’m Not a Disease”

Kids, That's so Boulder, Things I will NEVER do

Thank goodness for the women who have the balls to write what the rest of us are thinking…even if it is anonymous. So many times I’ve considered starting a “Secret Contributor” page just so I can comment on the crazy talk that often comes out of the mouths of my nearest and dearest. But I’d never do it, people would figure me out and even after I made all the necessary (insincere) apologies the hurt feelings would continue to resurface and eventually (waaaay in the future) I’d either feel badly about the things I shared or I’d get preggers and have to eat my words.

I’ve kept this secret delight (reading Childless Bitch) to myself but after a like minded friend (who actually came up with the “No Income No Kids” tag) posted this on her Facebook wall I had to share it here.

I May Be Childless, But I’m Not a Disease | momlogic.com.

PS, the best part of Childless Bitch’s articles are all the comments people write defending their parenting against her accusations. The keys on their computers must be smashed to bits from typing with so much anger.

Cool Finds, Great Ladies, The Film Biz, Things I love

How fabulous is the face slap?! I’m one of those Sophia Loren types who wants women to still be able to slap rude men across the face. Did I type that out loud? Ooops!  I absolutely love the guy’s shocked expression after she whacks the living daylights out of him for giving a double take on her long and lean tires… as if she was the most beautiful calculator he’d ever seen.

But seriously, who can blame him? Even I’m willing to admit that I can’t take my eyes off of this woman. Seeing her and the way she’s dressed has done more for my fitness resolutions then all of Rodney Yee’s Yoga tapes combined! And doesn’t it make so much more sense to have a High Fashion Italian Vixen in a Fiat commercial then JLo?

In all seriousness, from the casting to the script to the wardrobe to the look and feel of the entire spot, this is possibly an all time favorite for me!

Speaking of Italian Vixens, here’s a little O-mage (Homage) to the most beautiful woman on earth!

Funny story, Chris and I are beekeepers …something I never would have guessed would be a part of my life but now, mixed into my love for sushi and rap, I don a bee bonnet and do my best to wrangle 200,000 feisty Italian females and encourage them to work their stingers off so that I can enjoy a little honey on my toast.

Todos Ranch Honey Harvest 2012 Boulder ColoradoWe call our urban farm “Todos Ranch” and this was our first batch of honey. Not only did our first year yield 5 gallons but we won a Blue Ribbon AND a Red Ribbon at The 2011 Boulder County Fair – yea girls!

Chris is rolling his eyes, Cool Finds, Friends, gifts, Random photos, That's so Boulder, Things I love

Thought I’d share a few snipits from this past week along with my quest to find a Valentine for Chris. Yes I know it’s a week after the fact, but Chris has been out of town since before Valentine’s Day so I’m good on time.

Feb 13, 2012 – An honest attempt at buying a Valentine before the actual day

Ten20 Nail Salon in Boulder Co

Ten20 offers unlimited M&Ms and shows non-stop re-runs of "Friends"... it truly is the answer to almost all of my girly needs.

Lindsey and Alyssa, The Catering By Design ladies treated us, The Calluna Ladies, to lunch and then pedis at Ten20, the absolute best nail salon in Colorado!!! Our date lasted from noon until 5…I’m sure (like me) you’re wondering “How does she fit it all in?”

Anita at Ten20 is pissed

So I tried to take a photo of Anita's pissed expression while she was working on my heels but the flash went off and she gave me the evil eye for taking a photo (as seen above). I feigned ABSOLUTE SHOCK (!) about accidentally hitting the wrong button and taking a photo but she read right through me. Heather (Owner of Calluna Events) is in the background.

Tu-Ha is my absolute favorite at Ten20 and I always request her but unfortunately she wasn’t avail and because this was a gift from the Catering By Design girls for all of our wedding collaborations I ended up with Angry Anita… who was especially angry after I took this photo. Usually I can find something “bathy” for Chris at Ten20 but no luck, all of their gifts were pretty girly this time around.

How To Be A Motion Picture Director

"How To Be A Motion Picture Director" an interview with Marshall Neilan in the July, 1925 Issue of Photo Play, photo via Spectacular Attractions

Imagine trying to wrangle the person Marshall Neilan is describing and you have 18+ years of my life.  I’m not going to lie, this is seriously a fun person to be around but at the same time trying to get the work done pretty much BLOWS!
