Contributory Negligence Rule
When I was growing up, everything was my fault. Call it middle child syndrome, call it karma, call it whatever you want, to my parents- if it had to do with me, and it was negative? All on me. Bad grade on test? You didn’t study enough. Tripped down the stairs? You weren’t paying attention. … Read More
Feeling the Burn this Valentine’s Day?
Marvin Gaye is healing, Taylor Swift is crying, Kenny G is seducing, and all in the name of love. Yes, it is nearly that time of the year when roses sell for more than premium gas, when old, under-tempered chocolate is consumed by the ton, and when every person is miserable, single or not. It … Read More
Keep the Bowl Super
Full disclosure: the only football game I will watch is the Army Navy Game and that comes from years of mandatory viewings thanks to my dad, (sink Navy!). After 4 years of college, I can count on one hand how many football games I attended and I definitely never sat through all 4 quarters. But, … Read More

This past week we have been bombarded with news and warnings of Winter Storm … Read More
Drones, Hover Boards, Lawsuits, OH MY!

As a perpetual procrastinator, gift buying and completing errands in general happen much later than they should and holiday express shipping kills me. But, the drones never took off, much to the chagrin of … Read More
Don’t Drop the Ball this New Years
The year is winding down. Between Buzzfeed “Best Moments of 2015” articles, to Jib Jab’s “Year in Review” we have a lot to look back on and even more to look forward to. In 2016 a presidential election of massive proportions will take place, kale may no longer be a super food, and media might … Read More
Holiday Party Hard (and Safe)
It’s December which means party, after party, after party! There is just a wonderful feeling that befalls everyone when the holiday music starts playing, cookies start popping up everywhere, and the “Season of Giving” begins. Between work festivities, friend get togethers, and family fun December is a month of celebrations and merry making! But, too … Read More
