The Weekly Cringe: August 2010
http://weeklycringe.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Booted Out Of Restaurant Cringe. When recalling cringeworthy circumstances, I’ve discovered an unsettling pattern— that of. I had no prototype yet for the baby muzzle when out to lunch that day with my kids and my two cousins. We were seated at my favorite place in town- a small luncheonette with hearty food. I had spent nearly every Sunday morning of my Brendan pregnancy there enjoying greasy, magnificent breakfasts. 8220;Just leave your drinks and leave! 8221; I asked. No one a...

The Weekly Cringe: February 2011

Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Psycho Cat Attack Cringe. I bet you haven’t heard of too many people who have been attacked by a psychotic domestic cat. Well, hello. It’s the reason, understandably, that I cringe when I see any feline. I more than cringe…I cross streets, hold my breath, remain a hostage in my car in my driveway if a neighborhood cat is slinking around ready to pounce. In my phobic mind, any cat is ready to strike. Me. My attacker was a Blue Russian female cat named. 8220;Can you pick up.

The Weekly Cringe: June 2010
http://weeklycringe.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. Thanksgiving comes. Gravy, stuffing, pecan pie. Then Christmas. Cookies! These events add to the fat cell explosion party occurring in my postpartum body. A year or so later, I decide whether or not to buy clothes in a size that would have made my teenaged self dart in front of a moving train. I buy the size, figuring I will have another pregnancy sometime soon, so why try to lose now? Judy flashes me her winning debutante smile. And I know the answer. The kind of woman who &...

The Weekly Cringe: September 2010
http://weeklycringe.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. The Jacuzzi and Ice Cream Man Cringe. For over a decade, I have enjoyed the PBS series. I pick choice #3 and scurry back to the room, where one friend is performing yoga stretches on the bed to ease the sciatica gained from carrying a porcelain-topped table across a field. Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Booted Out Of Restaurant Cringe- Part II. The follow-up from last week. The worst kid ever. 8220;Did you just seriously say that? Dude…get a hold of yourself! The story sprea...

Colleen Conrad - Part 2
http://www.colleenconrad.com/page/2
The blog of a highly-nostalgic, often-neurotic, somewhat-young writer in Austin, TX. My roommate has been writing a lot. Jeff and I first connected through Ultimate, when I guilted him into helping me coach the team at the middle school where we were both English teachers. We became friends when we decided to critique each others’ writing. We grew closer still when we went through simultaneous divorces, and our friendship was fully realized by a serendipitous lease in Austin’s Zilker neighborhood. Someti...
