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...

Before you spend your beer money on a stockpile of sterile masks, let's employ that old "knowledge is power" adage: here's your no-nonsense guide to the Swine Flu.

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

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...

Have you ever seen an eight foot-long, 600-pound cow sculpted entirely out of butter?

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...

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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

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...
