Youthology: Does it Work?

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 by RockstarMama

Folks, I'm 33: The general age when you start realizing that sizzling the crap out of your skin in the sun for a three-day tan/burn when you were in high school was probably not the best use of your time. Adding to the sun fun, I'm also a mom of toddler twins, so I haven't slept in about three years...

3D chalk: Does it work?

Saturday, May 16, 2009 by RockstarMama

Defacing stuff is fun, even if it's just your own driveway. 3D chalk sounds like something you would maybe use to scribble mad art while draped in a glow necklace and drunk as hell at some '90s rave...

ShamWow: does it work?

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 by RockstarMama

I'm an uncoordinated klutz. I spill things, break things, trip over things, couldn't walk a balance beam to save my life and I'm notorious for making messes. I am single-handedly keeping the paper towels people in business... until now? Crazy, creepy Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Your personal guinea pig

Saturday, April 18, 2009 by RockstarMama

Folks, since I accidentally and inadvertently tortured myself with the Smooth Away and Leg Magic for your literary enjoyment, I've received numerous requests to review (read: potentially hurt myself with) a variety of other products...

Dear customer service: you suck

Friday, April 10, 2009 by RockstarMama

When you've been peed on as much as I have, sometimes you have to call for backup. To those of you with kids: We are potty training my three year-old twins. To those of you without kids: I invite you to imagine the horror. When you stop sobbing, go immediately to Target. Buy the largest box of condoms you can find...

An Ode to the Iowa State Fair

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 by RockstarMama

Have you ever seen an eight foot-long, 600-pound cow sculpted entirely out of butter? I have. That's right, folks, you can't get this special brand of saturated fat-based art just anywhwere--I've been to the Iowa State Fair...

Top 10 computer things that sound dirty but aren’t

Saturday, April 4, 2009 by RockstarMama

10. My blog has had so many visitors today--users are all over my site! 9. Before I run out of power, I better plug this thing in. 8. Ugh, this upload is taking forever! 7. After I placed that ad, I'm certainly getting a lot of traffic. 6. Wow, the server went down. Now I'm really going to have to lay into our I...

Are you “THAT GUY” at work?

Wednesday, April 1, 2009 by RockstarMama

Three days a week, I chuck my Converse in place of the requisite chick-torture heels and steer the MommyMobile across town to my "day job". My work digs feature a glorious cubeland a la Office Space, complete with all of the nutty characters and somehow-still-employed freaks a wannabe writer would ever need to fill cast spots on a mildly amusing sitcom...

Things NOT to do in a home invasion

Friday, March 20, 2009 by RockstarMama

Either I'm part superhero, or I'm just a total jackass. Probably both. In case you ever want to scare the crap out of me, and are making a list of ways to do so, here are some things to add: Dogs (they snarl at me--ever seen Cujo?) Mass quantities of insects (they could swarm you and eat you...

Leg Magic: does it work?

Friday, March 13, 2009 by RockstarMama

Curse you, daylight savings time! "Springing forward" has a deceptively cute name. What it should really be called is "Enjoy your dark-ass mornings from now on, sucka..." Stumbling blindly down the hallway Monday morning in seemingly midnight conditions, I was forced to flip on the harsh overhead lights, which beamed like a spotlight on my white-ass legs...

Unbelievable 2 year-old twins

Join the naked bike race

Sunday, March 8, 2009 by RockstarMama

It's that time of year again... the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, love is in the air, and thousands of Australians are going for a naked bike ride. Is anyone else concerned about the nut injury potential of a NAKED BIKE RIDE?! I mean, isn't the bicycle seat already generally known as the most uncomfortable ass-bruising item available in the sporting world? Nonetheless, this March, naked Aussies will bare their cheeks and take to the streets to promote causes of choice--everything from protecting this ball we call earth to bike/pedestrian safety...

Smooth Away: Does it Work?

Saturday, March 7, 2009 by RockstarMama

Oh for crap's sake. I've been suckered. As a chick, there is a never-ending, arduous battle to be smooth and hair-free in most places. American society has determined that the high-priority targets are: Legs Underarms Bikini line A number of options exist for your hair removal needs. Traditional choices include: Shave it Wax it Zap it Burn it off with chemicals Pluck it F*ck it These, of course, range from annoying (shaving) to soul-suckingly agonizing (waxing)...

Knighthood 101

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 by RockstarMama

--Breaking news 3/4/09-- Senator Edward Kennedy is being awarded an honorary knighthood from Britain. Is it just me, or was anybody else surprised to discover that peeps are still being knighted? It conjures up this medieval image including horses, suits of armor, a lavish feast including whole turkey legs (like at the county fair) and people wearing velvet...

Boys and tools

Saturday, February 21, 2009 by RockstarMama

I don't get dudes. My wonderfully rugged and manly husband just appeared in the backyard with a wheelbarrow full of tools and a load mysteriously-sourced lumber--the kind that has a number for a name (two by something). I'm scared. Also, I was unaware that we owned a wheelbarrow. That's a fun surprise...

The great popcorn incident

Friday, February 20, 2009 by RockstarMama

Oh man. I'm thinking I may have to draft an angry letter to the Orville Redenbacher peeps. That weird old guy in the suspenders may be gone (the one who looks like the landlord from Three's Company), but surely they have a PR department. The side of the Natural Buttery Salt & Cracked Pepper popcorn box clearly indicates that while popcorn is a lovely treat to share with your kiddos, you should be cautious so as not to let them choke on it...
