The Nurturing Parent

In order to foster confidence and self-esteem, it's important to let your child win at simple competitions.

Unless, of course, it's "Just Dance" for Wii on Christmas morning.

In which case you should crush them like a bug.

Great News About My Butt

Seriously, this is just so exciting.

Turns out, I DON'T have to work out 6 days a week, have a personal trainer, and deny myself sugar and carbs.

I just have to wear different SNEAKERS.

OK. Who wants brownies.

Holiday Recipe

This just in from my college roomate:


Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies


1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup or brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl,
check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality,
pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter
in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one peastoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point
it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another
cup just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup
of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit off the floor.

Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters just pry
it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who geeves
a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink.. Whatever you can
find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall
over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the
Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the wishdasher.

The Next Person Who Asks If I'm 'All Ready for Christmas' Is Going to Get Shanked

(Editor's Note: I was 98% sure "shanked" was the right word so I Googled it. And while it does, in fact, mean 'stabbed in the jugular', it also means 'a family of wading birds'....so: bonus for you: you learned a new word.)

No. I'm not "ready".

The cards are not written, the outdoor lights are half up and, as of this writing, are staying that way in protest. The 3rd grade teacher is in danger of getting a "World's Best Teacher" mug. The garbage man better not look at me sideways between now and December 23rd because for reasons known only to him and the mafia, he insists on leaving my empty trash cans smack in the middle of my driveway.

OK. Now I want take a bitching break and say "How much do I love THIS dude from Charlie Brown:

'So freaking much', is the answer.

Back to our regularly scheduled program......

Can we talk about how no one's allowed to say "Christmas" anymore? Only "Holiday".....and now even that's too discriminatory against agnostics, apparently, so THIS is the decorations from the town next door to mine NO LIE:

Really? ? ?

"Winter"??????????????

Why don't we just change Valentines Day to "Heart Day" so we don't offend "Relationship-Challenged-Americans"???????????

I know. My Xanax is not working.

I better be good so Santa brings me a good present..

Thoughts On Tiger By Request

So I've gotten a few emails from readers saying "Aren't you going to comment on Tiger Woods?"

And the answer is, I think I covered all my thoughts on Tiger in my latest Twitter posts:


Um, Tiger? You can marry the blondest, most Nordic-looking chick on the planet - but if you cheat, she will go ghetto on your ass.
