Christlike Crushes

It was a mild Sunday evening when Henry and I decided to take the kid for a leisurely after dinner stroll around the neighborhood. We managed to make it three blocks before colliding with a pair of Mormon elders, looking especially clean cut and dashing in their dress shirts and meticulously parted

If You Ever Wanted to Induce a Heart Attack

If You Ever Wanted to Induce a Heart Attack

I want to talk about something that changed my life, something that made me appreciate terra firma. I want to talk about a mean little thrill ride called the Swingshot.   Clickie for video of its gnashing jaws of death in action When the Swingshot was the new ride for summer '06 at Kennywood

Kennywood Anticipation

Kennywood Anticipation

We drove past our local amusement park -- Kennywood -- yesterday while out and about. Usually, seeing the hill of the Phantom's Revenge jutting out from the park, appearing to touch the clouds, barely fazes me, but yesterday it kind of shocked me with a thrill. Maybe because it's about to open in tw

Westmoreland County Fair, alright? PART ONE

Westmoreland County Fair, alright? PART ONE

Before I regale you with the story of our (not so) debaucherous trip to the Westmoreland County Fair last Wednesday, I feel that it's prudent to backpedal and preface that yarn with another tale that is absolutely wrought with horror and gore. It all happened in the wee hours of Sunday, August 23

Cupcakes: An Honest Review

Sunday afternoon, we decided to try a semi-new cupcake specialty shop called CoCo's. Now, keeping in mind that I reside in Pittsburgh (which, for those of you who are unaware, is not exactly a mecca for cupcake couture), I did not hold my hopes so high and loose that they'd soar away through the atm

When Cupcakes Surpass Expectations: A Positive Review

I have a confession, something I've been holding out on: I succeeded in finding good cupcakes in Pittsburgh and I have known about them now since Sunday.  But I didn't want to go forth and hold a circle jerk in their honor until I tried them again. And again. And once more. The nirvana in a cup of

(Ed Note: Hello, I am reposting this from LiveJournal because I haven't made fun of Kara and Janna in awhile, and the memory of this evening brings me great joy. Also, Wordpress can get fucked.) Vegetarian Beer Dinner Wednesday September 26, 2007 I had been looking forward to this dinner for a few

Freaky Features: The Tiny Tragedies

Freaky Features: The Tiny Tragedies

Coral Armour of the Tiny Tragedies was one of the first members of Etsy's Dark Side that I came across. I remember this distinctly because it was last fall and I desperately wanted something from her shop but Henry said NO because he's MEAN and clearly was home sick the day all the boys learned ab

Tweets: a really bad week

Category: tweets

Earth-shattering updates throughout the day, brought to you by Tart-Tits. Please try to continue breathing while taking it all in.  

  • 15:22 twitpic.com/pdvdn – Chooch wrote this on my arm, said it means “Mommy’s awesome.” Then he called me a bitch b4 I could coo. #
  • 21:23 Me: “Here, watch The Wizard of Oz.” Chooch: “Is there gonna be blood in it?” No blood, no swearing – he’s going to hate this movie. #
  • 23:16 Hay look @ the dumb! TWLOHA Day: My Story: I’m cheating and posting what I wrote for.. bit.ly/XjwWD #
  • ***
  • 13:08 I’m going to see Thrice tomorrow. That should be enough to put me in a great mood all weekend, regardless of Henry’s plans. #
  • 13:28 Walked outside and it smelled like the summer before 10th grade. Which is to say, like sex and grass. #
  • 13:31 @awoodhick is that what that was? I thought you were just being careless with your hygiene again. #
  • 14:34 In case anyone was wondering what Henry listens to while he cleans – totally Paramore. #
  • 19:45 Never thought I’d be so happy to see the number 71. #
  • 20:34 I only constantly correct Henry’s grammar so that my son doesn’t grow up talking like he was a Walmart baby. #
  • 21:41 I love this hockey game! It feels good, after the last 4 games, to not cringe the whole time. #pens #nhl #
  • 22:09 #nhl .04 secs left, Guerin ties the game & I made my son cry w/ my joyous screaming. Sorry Chooch, at least it wasn’t as bad as June 12. #
  • 23:18 I mean, if Henry won’t babysit my Fishville tank while I take a gin bath, what’s he going to do when we have KIDS? Oh shit, nevermind. #
  • ***
  • 12:02 I have big plans for the Easy Bake frosting pen that someone is hopefully going to buy me soon. #
  • 14:33 Remember when we kicked around dirt under the Death Tree in that cemetery? bit.ly/2Po1kb #
  • 15:18 Who doesn’t want some Jeffrey Dahmer for Xmas? bit.ly/3TO7FV #
  • 17:53 Why do I have a feeling that Travel Channel’s Meet the Natives is going to force me to pretend I’m not crying behind a pillow. #
  • 18:39 HELLO IM AT A CONCERT WITH THE BIGGEST DICK EVE R. And no, it doesn’t feel good. #
  • 18:40 He could have least worn a fitted flannel. #
  • 19:02 Singer from Polar Bear Club just said Sidney Crosby’s his boy. I may be dumbz0rz but I’m gon’ go ahead & assume he’s LYING. #
  • 19:27 Trying to explain the music world’s family trees to Henry is exhausting and fruitless. #
  • 22:08 That was such a fantastic show until the end where I almost fought some scenester dick in a leather jacket IM NOT KIDDING. #
  • 22:26 I was laughing & punched Henry’s shoulder real hard then screamed in pain. THAT my friends is why I didn’t try to punch the guy @ the show. #
  • ***
  • 11:22 twitpic.com/prgiz – Who knew monsterfied Abe Lincolns would be so popular? I’ve made 3 by request so far. #
  • 11:58 @mrsevils HOLLA!!!!! I’m gonna stitch the shit out of that, you just wait!! #
  • 13:59 Some people make it terribly hard to care. #
  • 14:02 Apparently, sending Henry a “911″ text because Roller Coaster Kingdom has cheat software was not a good idea. #
  • 14:43 Whoever invented the exercise mountain climbers can go on & suck a dick. I’d consider growing one just to have them suck mine. #
  • 17:18 Just found a thread on some Sarah Connor Chronicles (wtf) where people I don’t know were talking about me & my blog. Dunno how to feel. #
  • 17:22 @awoodhick LOLLERSKATES #
  • 17:26 Sarah Connor Chronicles FORUM that should have said. I have no idea how my shitty blog could come up in convo, let alone have readers. #
  • 17:27 @Would_You That stupid exercise is evil and makes me cry every time! BUT I AM NO QUITTER! #
  • 17:30 “Unfriend” is Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year bit.ly/Qwbm8. Good, because I use this a lo-hahahahahaha-t. #
  • 18:09 If I do things retardedly Henry gets irritated & does it for me. This is just 1 of the ways I successfully eke thru life doing very little. #
  • 19:31 @leota tsccwiki.wetpaint.com/thread/3472822/-?offset=240&maxResults=20 so random!! you have to scroll down a bit to see it. #
  • 20:40 Pens game, Chardonnay. I really don’t need muc h more than that. Maybe a new boyfriend. & a Mogwai. & 1595 other things I just thought of. #
  • 21:43 I hope so badly that my neighbors think I’m having rough sex. #
  • 21:58 I could look at Matt Cooke smile all the livelong day. Preferrably while eating a sandwich. #nhl #pens #
  • 23:47 Hay look @ the dumb! Thrice @ Diesel: When tickets for Thrice went on sale over the summer,.. bit.ly/3GGEAS #
  • ***
  • 13:19 I feel like I missed an important date yesterday. Like high tea with the Queen. Shit. #
  • 15:18 Apparently I’m not supposed to laugh when Chooch calls his dad a bitch. #
  • 15:37 According to the post on my Facebook wall, I just purchased a Sardine in Fishville. Thanks, Chooch. Just what mommy always wanted. #
  • 15:55 One way to warm up super fast is by having some asshole knock a latte into your lap. #
  • 20:10 I need to convince the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to detour thru my home so my neighbors can know what it’s like sharing walls w/ them. #
  • 20:11 They should bring some jackhammers too. #
  • 20:25 I spent a good 30 minutes pretending Chooch was pregnant & didn’t feel weird about it all. Then Henry made me stop. #
  • 20:49 Facebook brings me dangerously close to old enemies. It should offer an “alley behind non-descript high school” application for fights. #
  • 21:39 Henry’s favorite thing is sitting next to me while I’m working my way through a psycho-giddy fit & stealing peanuts off his plate. #
  • ***
  • 00:44 Instead of taking my playful mood for what it’s worth, Henry is acting suspicious, says I have a sneaky vibe. OH WE’LL SEE. #
  • 08:12 I mean, I knew my child was strange. But give him a fever & all I can do is sit here & gawk. #
  • 09:16 I think my son just asked the cat out on a date. #
  • 09:31 RUN TRISH!!! #
  • 13:26 Attention @awoodhick. Plz come home soon, else your son & girl-thing could perish. Bring coffee and chocolate. Oh, & medicine. #
  • 13:52 Who needs chicken noodle soup when you can cuddle up to “The Lost Boys,” right Chooch? Better than a Snuggie, too. #
  • 16:17 I’m sitting here thinking about how much of a BITCH Chooch is while he’s sick & I can’t help but feel reminded of someone. Can’t place it #
  • 19:17 I can hear Henry upstairs trying to give Chooch medicine & it sounds eerily like he’s attempting an exorcism with a hot poker. And losing. #
  • 19:18 I can’t handle one tank in Fishville, yet I went ahead and bought a second one. Oh the parallels to my life. #
  • 20:16 It seems that my name is Erin, and I poop in a boot. #
  • 20:33 Ew. My child is certainly not too sick to sass. #
  • 21:34 My grandma fell again. I’m trying not to freak out. #
  • ***
  • 10:23 twitpic.com/q3v2c – Henry brought us breakfast. Chooch is using it to find new ways to be an asshole. #
  • 12:50 Freaky Feature! Mary’s Treacle bit.ly/1EUFVo #EDT #etsy #
  • 13:09 Wish my family would stop confusing Henry for a paramedic . #
  • 13:49 Pretty sure @saucalisha has the ESP. #
  • 16:45 I just scheduled something for 12/12; now I have a sinking suspicion that I already have something going on. Hope it’s not that gang bang! #
  • 19:29 Just spent the past few minutes forcing my cat Willie to play w/ a Polly Pocket. The other cats are totally all “Better her than me.” #
  • 19:32 twitpic.com/q5yih – She fucking loves it. #
  • 21:31 “Crumbled in the 3rd” is an understatement. #pens #
  • ***
  • 00:16 Called Henry & ;thru heaving sobs, told him I missed him. He hung up on me. (Probably has nothing to do w/ the fact that my tears were fake.) #
  • 10:46 My sanity is fissuring. Please send cupcakes to repair. #
  • 11:51 I wish I could wear something like this w/o looking like a complete asshole: Seduction in StripesSpecial Circus bit.ly/5ncxMS #
  • 13:26 All I want to remember about this past week is Chooch laughing while watching “Jumanji” for the 1st time. #
