goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Lazy Girl Tanning

I should be doing housework, but I’ve learned something: housework always needs to be done. Always.

I have a husband who works construction, a cat, and three dogs. My house is old. I live at the end of a gravel road. In Iowa. There is never a moment when I can say, “My house is clean,” because there’s never any such moment. My house will never be clean.

But I! I can most definitely be tan.

    I’m THIRTY-SIX. I have no idea how this happened. And I’m actually not skinny, I just keep my fat on the front. Snort! My tanning oil recipe is as follows:

    1. Get in vehicle.
    2. Drive to Walmart.
    3. Buy bottle of spray-on suntan oil.
    4. Drive home.
    5. Remove clothing.
    6. Douse self liberally.
    7. Lie in direct sunlight.
