Looking for a Cabana Boy (Belle Meade)
Reply to: gigs-663045306@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-04-30, 10:30PM CDT

Now that it's getting warmer outside I will be looking to hire a cabana boy for the summer season. I open my backyard pool typically on the first weekend of May and am looking to hire someone immediately. Job description: clean and run outside bar area, launder the linens (towels, etc), light yard work, make cocktails (pina coladas, daquiris, margaritas are a must). Must be prepared to cater to the needs of large crowds of women on the weekends. I would need someone who could be available for last minute events. Starting pay is $40 but may receive tips based on performance. Preferring someone who is physically fit and willing to spend long hours in the sun.

Please attach picture, preferably shirtless ;)

Me: I’m mad at you, you know (jokingly)
The Husband: Why?
Me: Because you wouldn’t dance around with me in the yard to the ice cream truck music.
TH: We’re in the front yard.
Me: So?
TH: If the neighbors didn’t think we’re crazy already...
Me: I don’t see how that’s my problem. :)

PS-So I broke the water hose trying to throw it onto the roof. Big f’ing deal. :)

"Oh yeah, and you gotta clean that monkey."

My women's health blog, and the Our Bodies Ourselves blog I contribute to, were mentioned in this Utne Reader round-up of "intriguing" feminist blogs (see page 2). Whee. :)

Two posts on my "real" blog that seem to suggest that no other objects or persons should be allowed near me while I sleep.

The Bedtime Chronicles, Vol. 3 - from today

To Sleep, Perchance to Chew My Hand Off - from November

There are almost no words for how infuriating this woman's words are, in response to her teenager (Willow), adopted from China, as a dismissal of her child's feelings.

"Like I say to Willow: 'Well, you know, if you were still in China you would be working in a factory for 14 hours a day with only limited bathroom breaks!'"

Yeah, that's really f'ing funny. It's even more "hilarious" that the blog post author (or some person at the New York Times) appears to be censoring comments from transracial adoptees who are calling this woman on her crap. Here's a great round-up of responses to this utter evil BS.

The Hapa Project, for hapas and part-haoles like me.
