Fat Tire isn't the only brewery that does this. It's pretty much a benchmark of the microbrewing/brewpub industry in general. In fact, the small brewer has been gaining market share the past few years as macrobrewers' numbers fall. One of the reas...

Ear Fetishes and Other Inherited Nonsense

Ever do something weirdly festishy, and wonder where the hell it came from? I don’t wonder. I know. Who else relishes in sniffing their significant others’ ears? I do. I love sticking my schnozz in my boyfriend’s soft ear fuzz, then attacking all the soft, surrounding cartilage afterward. If this behavior seems strange to people, let [...]

A Tidy Tsunami

I’ve always taken some sort of strange pride in this messiness. It placed my priorities in direct contrast with my mother’s: first comes work, which I like to think I’ve always excelled at; then friends and family; then, insert a million things here, including art house movies, which I rarely watch; and finally tidiness. My mother’s life starts and ends with family and a clean house.

This Dog Has Croup

Mom puts a sweater on the dog in the middle of summer because she has "croup."

So My Mom-To-Be

Image by photosavvy via Flickr My good friend Tamre is pregnant. I can say that now. I couldn’t before when I first found out: We were about to go on the Good Beer Show together and she called at the last minute to “bail.” Her excuse? “We think I’m pregnant. …Don’t tell anyone yet.” (You can [...]

My Parents’ Dog Wears a Diaper

Pikachu is my parents’ overfed, 9-year-old Chihuahua. I like to say that if he were a real man, he’d be a 300 pound Mexican. The kind that walks around with his stomach poking out of the bottom of his white t-shirt. (Disclaimer: I’m part Mexican, so I can say that.) Needless to say, this is not [...]

Women and Beer

I’m back from the dead. I let this site go for way too long (totally not cool, especially because I’ve started a new gig building blogs for businesses. Does not speak well for my ability to update content regularly!). But my work life finally intersected back with my hobby/soon-be-be-author life (that’s this blog) after I went [...]

Hope those Suleman Kids Don’t Turn…

… Into their horrificly opportunist mother Nadya with a sense of entitlement that’s probably large as the cow herself. That’s the big hoopla here, right? The precedent set by Sulemen’s ravenous sucking on the public teet? What about the more immediate impact she’s going to have on her children’s outlooks? Anyone want to project how much money [...]

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Rly.

A perfect example of how I will never, ever turn completely into my mom (I mean, really, these interludes offer me a shiny beacon of sanity and salvation). Los Angeles-based writer Seth Grahame-Smith will release new book “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” on April 15. The succinct publisher summary: “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the [...]

I Hate the Maintenance Guy

My mother usually found something to dish disparagingly about most people—except, of course, for her perfect, God-fearing [read: holier-than-thou] friends. MY friends, however, always had foibles. Take, for instance, a middle school friend that we’ll call Beronique. My mother was actually friends with hers and did a little work for her family, during which time I’d [...]

On Blogging About Your Family

The handful of people who read this blog semi-quasi regularly (and I’m not talking about the people who pop in trolling the Web for “mom sex” [damn sickos]) know that my mom does not appreciate my disclosing personal details about her and my family. My boyfriend gets sensitive about things I write, too. I think this [...]

Who else puts their dog in diapers?


My parents' dog Pikachu is 9 years OLD now, and incontinent. They slapped a diaper on him. I guess I don't totally disagree. For the entire hilarious story (and a gallery!) visit my blog, Somymom.com

Join Texas Hoosiers Group/Ning

The Mom Bomb

Friend me and help me out with my blog on http://www.somymom.com.

I'm trying to add many more user experiences on becoming their moms to my site. The mom bomb is that silent switch that's flipped one day; shortly thereafter, people realize they're manifesting mannerisms, traits and quirks of their parents (usually one more than the other). Please share your experiences either here or on my blog: You don't have to register to add your input!

Hey ma'am, how's the pancake planning going? What are the hours for this event? I'd like to know more about it. I feel like a d-bag for not helping.

Jennifer, I somehow spaced the fact that you wrote an article about us in PRINT for Nuvo. I was under the impression that we got a video blog and that was that. YOU ROCK! Karli told me today that we are in the Nuvo paper too! I seriously can't thank you enough. You've got some cookies coming to you, lady. Take that for being so awesome!
