Call me Scrooge

While the majority of Americans are poised to allow a ridiculous notion of an obese elf into their homes, I am preheating my oven … fully prepared to cook any intruders and feed them to my cats.

Why is there such an emphasis on marrying young in the Bible Belt?
I find it highly amusing that everyone in the South assumes that there is something wrong with a person if she chooses not to marry before the age of 30. Is marrying at 18 or 20 the better solution?

I recently discovered that I might be crazy. I hold complete conversations with myself inside my head. Despite the fact that my mind reacts a little too quickly to my obsessive thoughts, I still manage to continue this internal dialogue.

Another damn overreaction

As people line the walls of the pediatric ER, I can’t help but laugh. For the next few weeks … maybe months, every sniffle, cough or sneeze will be treated as a symptom of the swine flu.

I was always told that it is not polite to brag. Bragging is a form of self promotion. And, according to my mother, people that brag have low self esteem and are just looking for attention. All of that may be true, but I am taking a minute to brag!
