Hi, loves! I’ve got a new post up below (look for the word “Speedo” and don’t be afraid), but I have exciting news to share so I had to write a whole other post-y. The new Starlite website is up! I had originally posted that it was up a few days ago, but quickly took [...]

Being the youngest and only single person on our trip, I have taken my role to heart. Obviously, I should be the one to play in the ocean for hours. Right? I’ve always been willing to go into the ocean, but now that I’m in a part of the world where the water is clear [...]

Hello, hello, hello! I made it! I’ve got great internet access here at our hotel, so I feel like I’m connected to the real world. Because, trust me, Aruba is not the real world. Does the “real world” have high of 88 degrees day with a light breeze? No. Does the “real world” have the [...]

Well, my little lambs, I’m gone. To Aruba, that is! I’m sorry I haven’t mentioned it before now, but there’s too many crazies out there for me to be putting all my plans out there. And crazies? If you’re reading, you should know that the roomie is not alone while I’m gone. And that the [...]

Once upon a time, I met a girl named Ashley (who would later, on this very blog, be given the eloquent nickname of French Fry). What can I say? The girl loves her french fries. Anyways, French Fry became my best friend from the moment I met her and we’ve enjoyed over 10 years of [...]

I don’t know that I’ve ever mentioned this before, but every once in awhile, I display quite the competitive tendencies. I am really only competitive in two categories though: Monopoly and boyfriends. Now, HOLD UP. I’m not saying I’m competitive when it comes to stealing boyfriends; I’m competitive when it comes to being the BEST [...]

Since it’s Monday, I figured I should do all my dreaded stuff on the dreaded day.  I’m scheduled to start repaying my student loans in July, so I called to get all the lovely details about monthly payments and such. Now, before I go any further, I would like you to know that I had [...]

Now I know you’re going to think I’m absolutely crazy, but I am loving this Monday morning.  Mainly because I went to bed in a bad mood last night and woke up in a much better one this morning. I don’t have bad moods that often.  I get sad or cry quite a bit, but [...]

Ya’ll. I mean, ya’ll. Ya’ll, ya’ll, ya’ll. Where do I even begin? The wee child was full of questions from the moment we left her driveway. “Amy Beth? What if you changed your name and asked people to call you Fingernail Beth? Can I call you that today?” “How do you spell the letter K?” [...]

I got up before the sun this morning because I’m driving about an hour to pick up my pretend kidlet, MacKenzie. She and I have plans to conquer the beast that is known as Dollywood. Or, shall it suddenly become miraculously sunny and hot, Dolly’s Splash Country. Now, if you’ve never been to Dollywood before, [...]
