I can be bought. For the low, low price of $80. You’d think my morals would be a bit pricier than that and honestly I myself was surprised but there you have it. Last night and tonight found me parking around back of a large building, sneaking in a door left cracked open, and then …
I’m just going to warn you straight out. This post is crazy. And if you are one of those people who gets crazy reading about my crazy then you probably want to skip all the crazy and go straight to your therapist (do not pass Go, do not collect 200 xanax). Which is where I …
This man is pretty much an oxygen savant. He breathes it and then recycles it into energy! And to think Al Gore got the Nobel… What, you think you’re doing well just by breathing the O2? Pansy. Why settle for basic respiration when there is so much more you can do with oxygen? Top 3 …
You’ve got to hand it to Michelle Obama – by proclaiming her goal to “end childhood obesity in one generation” as her platform as First Lady she certainly isn’t taking the safe route. I’m not mocking previous First Ladies but saying kids need to read books is pretty tame compared to telling people their kids …
Right now my baby is crying it out*. I’ve been trying for 45 minutes (the length of time she’s been crying) to think of some way to make this funny but the truth is I just want to crawl out of my skin and shove nails in my ears. But since I am unable to …

Thanks to high-profile celebs like Alicia Silverstone (vegan), Posh Victoria Spice Beckham etc. etc. etc. (vegetarian), and Amanda Seyfried (raw foodist but hates it since she’s only doing it to stay Hollywood skinny), going vegetarian or vegan is all the rage these days. Despite my general skepticism of anything touted by a celebrity, since I …
An ode to yesterday’s fun with mis-heard lyrics! It was inevitable. Sleep deprivation from finishing my book manuscript and the Jelly Bean combined with a very weight intensive P90X workout and the fact that jelly bean season is now in full throttle found me slumped over my table this afternoon in a sugar coma. I …
Liesel’s wearing socks with sandals! Hee! Thanks to my aunt who is disabled and watched The Sound of Music on permanent repeat, I grew up addicted to the Von Trapps and their be-curtained antics. My favorite song to belt at the top of my lungs was always “My Favorite Things.” (Lie: My secret favorite was …

Not all Japanese trends are worth following… um, ew. Kickin’ it old (as in grade) school style, today is opposite day here at GFE. And what is the exact opposite of me, a high-strung neurotic cynical young (I can still say that right?) American mom? How about a mellow, cheerful Okinawan centenarian! This month, my …
