I’m not one of those girls who goes gaga for every baby she sees. I like some babies and only when they’re behaving themselves. What I don’t like is baby photography. I can’t stand seeing a giant picture of a misshapen rat head printed in the newspaper or entire albums of sleeping babies posed in all sorts of stupid hats with ridiculous props a la Anne Geddes. It creeps me...

Another Santa Claus Memory
My Great Aunt Martha has a laundry chute in her guest bathroom. This provided hours of hilarious entertainment for the cousins as we’d send notes, Barbies, packages of Smarties or other equally important treasures down it everytime we visited her house.
One year, shortly before Christmas, we (Mama, my sister Susie, Grandmama and I) were at Aunt Martha’s for lunch, listening to Aunt...
Heavyweights
For Rachow & TracyMarquez:
First of all, I didn’t get to finish watching it last night. I only watched about half but I can tell that this is going to become one of my favorite movies. The wardrobe?! Insanely perfect. The cast couldn’t be better and the general story line kills me. Here are my favorite quotes thus far:
“What am I, Dion Sanders?” “Oh look! A deli...
Truthful Tuesday
I love to read but I hate to be told what to do. When assigned literature in high school, I refused to read the books for the simple reason that somebody told me I had to (what a rebel, huh?) I got by and made decent grades not by picking up a copy of CliffNotes or SparkNotes but by recalling episodes of Wishbone.

I distinctly remember a December day when I was around 9 or 10 years old when I became very concerned that Santa Claus might not be real.* I faced this terrible reality but I still really wanted to believe that he existed, it was all too magical to just be my parents. So I went to my mother to get to the bottom of things. I was afraid that I’d be heartbroken if I knew the truth but I was...
Today’s edition of Celebritwins is a little different. 1) The “celebrities” are nominally famous. 2) The lookalikes are people I’m acquainted with in real life. I hope they don’t know about Tumblr.
Stacy Stanton Royce* bears a striking resemblance to Lothaire Bluteau’s Ambassador Merillac from The Tudors, oui?
Josh Sawyer* could fill in for either Tex or...
Anybody want to start a quoting frenzy of The Beverly Hillbillies starring Jim Varney with me?
Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime
In that part of Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime that goes like this:
The mood is right The spirits up Were here tonight And that’s enough
I will ALWAYS sing along and replace “and that’s enough” with a gangsta hand gesture and the words “and thass wussup.”

Ever since Lea Michele got bangs, I’ve been trying to figure out who she looks like.
It just hit me…

Justin Townes Earle can call me any time he’s ready to settle down with a nice girl.
Every single one of his songs has a hurting, haunting beauty and they’re all just so good. He’s simultaneously terrifying and intriguing because he’s road-weary and troubled at only 28 years old.
And he’s a really snappy dresser.
Just pretend he doesn’t look like he...
Another Huge Deal
Friends,
It’s with great excitement that I officially announce that I’m moving to Chicago in January! I will need a full-time job when I’m there so if you know of anybody who’s hiring, I’d love to hear from you. Tell your hiring friends that I do decent impressions, I can bake pretty well and I’m willing to laugh at their jokes (even if they’re not that...
Huge Deal
This makes me super excited because I started this hashtag and now all kinds of funny/popular tweeters* are participating! I feel like the guy who invented the peanut butter & jelly sandwich… people like it but nobody knows who its original creator was.
