That Bible really makes you look hot

Walking down the sidewalk next to church today, I noticed out of the corner of my eye a car slow down and roll down its window. Ready to give directions, I stopped and turned, only to be greeted by three guys leaning out the window leering at me. “Hey baby, can I go [...]

Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I’ve got, I’m still, I’m still Rachel from the blog

Y’all, I promise I have a new improved Yestertime for you coming soon. I know it sounds like I’m just saying that, but it’s just taking a long time to get it set up. The catalyst behind hosting my own site instead of going through WordPress was using BlogHer Ads on my site. [...]

Sick Days in the land of Yestertime

I’m feeling much better today, and the proof is that I’ve gotten off the couch more than four times already, and it’s only 1:30. Stellar.
At first I thought I would have squat to blog about today because yesterday consisted mostly of long intervals of the back of my eyelids. But then I remembered [...]

Report: Productivity is down

Let’s take a little walk through history, or at least through the last two Januaries. (Hold up, can you put an “ie” on the end of January? I’m mildly disturbed by the sight of it.)
Anyhoo, I’m specifically harkening back to the last two January 12ths, i.e. Bug’s birthday. For the first birthday, [...]

Just a few meager resolutions

#1 Eat fewer gallons of ice cream
#2 Cure cancer/end world hunger
#3 Exercise every single day
#4 Become fluent in Spanish
#5 Make my first million
#6 Keep my house spotless
#7 Potty train Bug
Ok, obviously you can tell by that last one that this is a bogus list. Here’s my real list:
#1 Never [...]

Two paragraphs, both ending in “now”

I just ate a Lean Cuisine that was supposed to be a chicken enchilada, but tasted curiously of tuna. I looked at the box to make sure it was chicken, and realized that they weren’t even able to make the picture on the box look appetizing, which is a really bad sign. [...]

No. 1 way for a doctor to Freak Me Out

Call me unexpectedly at 7PM on a FRIDAY on my CELL PHONE.
Rrrrrrriiiiiiing (Yes, my cell phone actually sounds like that. I am that boring.)
“Hi Rachel! This is Doctor R., you came in last week for your cold and for a strep test?”
“Oh, um, yeah. Yeah, that was me. I was there. [...]

I’ve also heard that it’s become a tradition to buy a gift for the authors of the blogs you read.

I know I’ve been doing a lot of Can You Believe What I Just Discovered/Look What Amazing Thing I Am Going To Tell You About posts, but what can I say, I write from the heart. And my heart is just FULL UP with OMGs right now.
For example, I recently discovered that when [...]

Last night just before turning out the light

LORSO: (smooching me) Goodnight!
ME: Ooh, you have minty fresh breath!
LORSO: Why thank you. I brushed my teeth.
ME: It’s especially minty though.
LORSO: Oh, it could be my Carmex you’re smelling. Sorry – I know you don’t love Carmex.
ME: I don’t have a problem with Carmax itself, I just would never [...]

Don’t even get me started on what happens when I can’t find my Chapstick.

Bug was finally in bed last night, and the Lorso had a project to work on, which left me a couple of blissful, quiet hours to spend time with my best friend, the Internet. But when I plopped down on the couch and opened the laptop, instead of good times perusing You Tube and [...]
