It’s time for another edition of Ain’t That Some Shit?! Ain’t That Some Shit?! A noun and an exclamation! Let’s get down to it! Do you know what is worse than being sick? Being sick while traveling. I’ve spent a… Continue Reading
The fact that it is late October warrants an ‘ain’t that some shit’ on its own merit. How is it Halloween already?! Time keeps on slipping slipping slipping into the future. I mean, we are already doing our stretches, getting ready for… Continue Reading
Hey! Can you believe that we just flipped the calendar to August? Ain’t that some shit?! Oh! Wait! That reminds us– it’s time for a new edition of one of our favorite oldies. 1. a. Before Baby Bub was born… Continue Reading
We’ve amassed quite a back catalog of posts. Among which are our thoughts on Memorial Day. With the holiday weekend approaching, we thought today would be a good time to revisit our two previous posts on Memorial Day. To read Leigh’s perspective on… Continue Reading
Or, words by which to live… either way, we’ve always been about quotes. We been collecting them for years. In the words of Michel de Montaigne, “I quote others only to better express myself.” Here are a few that have rocked our boat… Continue Reading

What IS the je ne sais quoi feeling of, “Ain’t That Some Shit?!” Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Who knows? It is a Coralie original, and one that quickly entered into Leigh’s vocabulary. But it is… Continue Reading
Dearest Reader, Three years ago (this week), we launched Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting. A lot has happened in the intervening years and keeping the blog going has been no small feat. Our back catalog now numbers into the 560’s.… Continue Reading
Our last discussion on depression was the product of trying to find reason after yet another person-of-note succumbed to it. Our last post, which still remains beautifully accurate, was really written in the heat of the moment. We both agreed that we… Continue Reading
This post is not about The Swamp Thing’s favorite things to eat when he is feeling under the weather (file that away for another post- ha!). Though, when you have a cold (or aren’t feeling your sportiest) sometimes it feels like you… Continue Reading
I had a post 98% done Sunday night, ready to go. Just needed one more once over before publishing on Monday. Then Monday came and I awoke to the news about David Bowie. I went in to tweek my post and… Continue Reading
For 2014 I outlined about 75 New Years Resolutions and then committed to coming back and updating my progress throughout the year. Well, some I carried valiantly through the year and others kind of fell by the way side, ahem,… Continue Reading
Aye yi yi. Everywhere I look lately (Pinterest, Facebook, my ladies mag subscriptions) there are a million listicles purporting essential holiday lifehacks. I’ve taken the clickbait and read many of these compilations (for you, dear reader– such sacrifice!) with an eye to… Continue Reading
I have been aware of the Katie Couric produced documentary Fed Up since it was making its marketing rounds upon release (2014?). I didn’t see it in the theaters, but I did make a note of it on my “Things to… Continue Reading
I don’t know about you kids, but between the time change and a particularly cloudy patch of weather sitting over us (yes, it happens), my attitude is being kicked pretty hard right now. Seasonal Affective Disorder is real. Even if you… Continue Reading
Faithful Reader, I skipped a week and I am a day late this week and all I can say for myself is… ain’t that some shit! Well… maybe I can add a little more explanation- my life has been busy!… Continue Reading
Next Wednesday, Coralie and I are going to do a joint post where we pull back the shower curtain and reveal our favorite health and beauty products. In preparation for that, I wanted to share this article that recently came… Continue Reading
