Monday night, I went to a One Direction concert with my daughter. “What is One Direction?” you blessed, fortunate, blissfully unaware life-livers ask? One Direction is a highly publicized group of styled boys who gather on stage and say words into very powerful microphones to thousands upon thousands of young…

I was in Target the other day, in the checkout line behind an extreme couponer. He was purchasing about 800 butt tons of Lean Pockets and approximately 300 ass loads of detergent. At first glance I did not judge these purchases, presuming that the purchase of that many Lean Pockets…
A friend of mine told me she was on the last day of her juice cleanse the other day. She didn’t seem very happy. In fact, she couldn’t wait to eat real food again. As she sipped her juice, I felt bad for her. Immediately, I knew she hadn’t enjoyed…
