Its been one year, today, since I had my first surgery of 2011. One year since the coolest girls I hope to ever meet (soon please, yes?) started Operation Layla. Its weird how a whole year can ...
Fair warning: Im going to use the word asshole a lot in this post. A LOT. Actually, Im just gonna class up the joint with all manner of expletives, okay? Avert eyes now, or something. Theres this thi...
Oh hey! Can we talk about your vagina today? Not yours specifically, but you know, just vaginas, collectively? Trust me, its important and needs to be discussed. Pap smears, in particular, are the to...
Ridiculous, because if Im going to title a blog "Things I hate" in such a bold, matter of fact manner, then it should be full of things like Hitler or genetically modified food or something r...
Regardless of the fact that I have not actually posted any of my political beliefs in this post, someone will read it, and infer that they know them. I guarantee you that you do not. Although I did n...
I really like food. So much. Ive become that person that takes pictures of (nearly) everything I eat. With an iPhone, because Im not employed enough for a fancy camera. Thank you for existing, Instag...
Yeah. This is happening. BUT. Its certainly not the first time Ive embarrassed myself online. It definitely wont be the last. And, ya know. I like to think that the things I post on here help people ...
Well, you guys are awesome. I always think Im going to get some harsh feedback on certain posts, and it never happens. Guess thats what having supportive, open-minded friends is like, huh? Were now 1...
Sometimes, you make up your mind to go one way, only to realize youve hit a dead end. For instance, one of my goals to work on this year (commonly known as resolutions, that dirty, dirty word) was to...
So yeah, you guys. 2011 happened. I like to attach a soundtrack to my life, naturally. Dont you? This years soundtrack was undoubtedly the whole Wish album by The Cure, which is basically like riding...
Happy merry christmas holidays, for gosh sakes. Its only...some..days until Christmas. 11? 12? Its soon. I was never really good with math. I usually stare on in forlorn sadness at all of the pet swa...
As of next week, I will have been unemployed for one year. Remember when I lost my job because I had to have surgery? That was around December 12th of last year, we think. Since then, Ive been on cou...
Oh hey, whats up December? Josh and I arent celebrating Christmas this year. Well, I mean that we arent exchanging gifts - we did decorate and are celebrating the season, of course. But with the unex...
Are you following me on Instagram? Im @Laylabelle. Tell me your handle so I can follow you! At the fair in October. Our halloween mantle Cute guy, giant beer, Hulk Hogan shirt. Chattanooga trip in Au...
My friend Amy at The Bookworm Wife came up with something I love - A Very Pinterest Christmas, which is basically showing Christmas crafts, food, decorations, etc. that you made based on pins you fou...
Im thankful. Yes, this year has been the ultimate test. You know the levels of Super Mario Bros. games that are underground, with lava? And you have to run really fast to get through it, and jump at ...
Can we talk? About.....poop? Yeah, I said it. I used to be really skinny. Really, really skinny. And people...total strangers, friends of my moms, co-workers, would ask me how I stayed so skinny. Hon...
Thank you so much for all of the nice comments on my last post. Sometimes, Im just amazed by the people Ive met online. Why cant we all live in one place and be happy friends in real life? Because ho...
Hey there. Sorry for the disappearing act! The few people that still read this (hi!!! Ive missed yall!!) asked if I was back or not. I think I am! Im going to try to be. Thanks for still having me. :...
Josh: - Showers. One bottle of soap for everything. Puts on deodorant, brushes teeth. - Dresses. Jeans, tee, hoodie, hat, sneakers. - Done. Total time: 10 minutes. And thats with a limp. Layla:...
Oh, my dear. Weve made it two years, and I think it was no small feat. Not because of us....no, not because of us. Were good. Were strong. Were solid. Because of the trials and tests and curve balls,...
Crap and a half! I keep forgetting that its Friday. These things happen when you dont have a job. 1. Speaking of jobs, I had an interview this week but I dont think much will come of it. Its a very l...
Is it just me, or is this Monday particularly painful? I could barely drag myself out of bed, havent showered yet, and I actually went out in public in my pajamas, and here I sit, loafing about. Alth...
1. ROCKtober is my FAVORITE month of the year - everything awesome happens in October. Everything. Dexter starts, Halloween, my birthday, the best weather all year, my football team plays the best ga...
So like I said in my last post, Im not doing so well in the recovery department. I think a lot of it is mental, but some of it is just flat out neglect. Health neglect, of course. Not to say that I h...
Have you ever been thoroughly sick of yourself? To the point where you avoid looking in the mirror and try to take as much attention away from yourself as possible? Thats how Ive been for a while now...
I smoked for fifteen years. 15!! How does anyone do anything that gross for fifteen years straight? Ill be honest though, and confess that I miss it. Not the smell, or the dependency, or the angry lo...
So...today is Friday. Not Thursday. Oops (I blame YOU, 4th of July). I read Teen Vogue. Im not interested in anything in regular Vogue and I cant afford anything in it, anyway. Hell, I cant afford an...
Heres where I ask you to tell me what to do with my hair, because Im an indecisive Libra. If you dont help me, Ill be forced to make this decision myself, which means....my hair will stay exactly how...
Although Im generally an open book about my life, I dont normally go into detail about my childhood, though I have written about it briefly. In light of the utterly absurd not guilty verdict for Case...
