Happy 2012: Guess What Suckas Now It’s the End of the World

Solitary Mama — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:02:38 +0000

Congratulations you made it through Christmas without being trampled to death at Walmart and through New Years with your handy dandy list of resolutions. Pat yourself on the back for making it to 2012.

However, you did it all for nothing because as you’ve probably heard, according to the Mayan calendar, 2012 marks the [...]

The Bitchery Year in Review

Solitary Mama — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 04:38:52 +0000

I believe I used to write better posts on this blog. I think my intention has always been to either say something funny or just say something that means something. I may be mistaken, but it seems since I figured out people are actually reading my blog, I write less personal and sometimes just plain [...]

Christmas Crap That Annoys Me

Solitary Mama — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:22:21 +0000

I had a whole different, angry rant set up to post but I figured it’s Christmas and I should probably write something cheery not as angry for the holidays. What kind of blogger worth his or her weight in SEO doesn’t have a Christmas post?

Some of us though are faced with a different problem. Okay, [...]

The Un-Thanksgiving: 6 Things I’m Not Thankful For

Solitary Mama — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 06:38:24 +0000

I was wondering yesterday, between Twitter, Facebook, and the billions of blogs on the internet, how many people will be posting lists of things they are suddenly thankful for. 1 Some of these lists include things like breathing. Can we all just agree that we’re thankful for air without adding it to the [...]

Halloween Costumes Through the Years: No One Wants to Be A Robot.

Solitary Mama — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:15:05 +0000

My daughter wants to be a vampire this year for Halloween. She specifically said “a scary vampire. Not a cute one.” Last year, she wanted to be scary and I bought her a witch costume. After a handful of people told her “awww…you’re such a cute witch,” she didn’t want to be a witch anymore. [...]

What Did and Did Not Happen At Family Reunion 2011

Solitary Mama — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 04:33:24 +0000

The problem, (if there is one) with blogging is that in order to be real and true and somewhat personal, you have to sort of blog about real and true and personal stuff occasionally. Plus, if you want to be funny, real life stuff is a must-have, unless you plan on just stealing content from [...]

These Costumes Pretty Much Rock

Solitary Mama — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 04:36:07 +0000

After posting the pic of Asian Dolly Parton, I received a message from my mom that said something similar to “Didn’t you like the Halloween costumes I made you?” Partially joking, I think. Partially kinda hurt. I blame my brother who obviously was mad that I outed him in that Daffy Duck suit.

Anyway, [...]

Happy Birthday, How Not to Plan a Birthday Party and I Promise This Isn't Standard Mommy Blog Stuff

Solitary Mama — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 04:44:39 +0000

So I’m working out at the gym last weekend and I decide that this year I will have a real birthday party for my daughter. A real party that actually involves other kids and party like stuff. I say stuff because as I declared to myself that I would have a birthday party, I disregarded [...]

Halloween Costume Fail: Asian Dolly Parton

Solitary Mama — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 05:14:23 +0000

I wrote “Halloween Costumes for Asian People” which was obviously a Halloween costume guide for Asian people. Unfortunately, now Asian people hate me. (Note the comment section. They really hate me.) I swear on Hee Haw I wasn’t trying to perpetuate racism because believe me, I’m all about letting people be whatever they wanna [...]

Valentine's Day for Single Parents

Solitary Mama — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:40:50 +0000

Well, you’ll be surprised that this is not a post about boo hoo I have no Valentine I’m a single mother. Actually, this post is about recognizing that Valentine’s Day is not only about romance and flowers and candy…wait boo hoo.

Anyway, after an awful experience trying to decorate a shoe box for my daughter’s [...]
