About Me

You know you're going to give your kid a complex if you call them "The Mean Bean" instead of; sweetiepie, sugar face, bear, etc. My nickname stuck- even when I got nicer. AND my affinity for all things BEAN happens to be tremendous; Coffee beans (my coffee feign), Cocoa beans, Vanilla beans, chickpeas (yes, it's a bean), black beans....and so on. As for the "mean" part, depends on which ex-boyfriend you ask. I think I'm super sugary. And no, I will not be writing any guides about beans. Unless I get a special request.

This is why families are awesome. And sad. And dysfunctional. And HYSTERICAL. Most of us have been victim to these sort of family portraits, no one is safe. Have any you'd like to share?

I'm not married, but let me tell you what....I thank the heavenly stars I wasn't married in the era when white lace gloves, without fingers, were an option. Desperately Seeking Susan while walking down the aisle is just horrifying. And bridesmaids, you lucked out too. Here are some of the most unfortunate bridal disasters.

"Hey, let's go grab an Wetzels Pretzel, some earring from Claire's and then get a GLAMOUR SHOT!" says The Mean Bean (teen edition), "Only if I get to wear the cool cowboy hat and faux diamond earrings" says "friend." This is usually how the conversation went. NO ONE SHOULD EVER, EVER GET PHOTOS TAKEN IN A MALL- that right there should have been the first indication that the pictures you're getting aren't all that glamorous. If you put yours on the internet....thanks for the amusement.

We've seen food, we've seen geek tattoo- we've seen ALMOST everything....that was until I came across an obsessed Britney Spears fan and found someone so in love with her they tattooed her face on their body. Tattoos are endlessly amusing, because it's like, "WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT ON YOUR BODY FOREVER?...." ....we'll never know. Check 'em out!

The economy is in a weird place and truthfully having a job at all is something to be grateful for. However, there's always place to dream and even in times like these there ARE companies, really INCREDIBLE companies that are hiring. Businesses are starting to change their mode of operation to make the work place a more creative, rewarding and fun environment. A balance of what feels like work AND play, if you will. Here are some of the companies I've found that are not only great companies, ...

I don't know about you, but Heidi Montag-Pratt and Spencer Pratt have taken it too damn far. I'm sick of their FACES. If they seemed like good people who were fame whores, maybe I'd feel different....but I don't know that they're good people? I think they're insane. What do you think?

I love food. Love intensely....as much as I assume I'll love my first born. When I came across some people with food tattoos, I wondered, do I love food that much?? And if you stare at the food you love the most, everyday, do you continue to love it?! WHAT FOOD WOULD YOU TATTOO ON YOUR BODY?

I'm willing to sacrifice the GUT, for the beverage. Plain and simple. Summer is the best season to get your beer drinking on; lazy weekend, days by the pool, BBQ'S, baseball games, vacations- ALL should involve delicious BEER. WHAT'S your favorite??? Here are some of mine, and I'm always seeking new, different, FLAVORFUL brews....so share the wealth! DRINK UP!

I'm proud of my culture. Very proud. Why? BECAUSE, I'm ITALIAN. As an Italian woman there are certain sterotypes you simply cannot avoid; i.e. feeding your guests to the point of physical paralysis until the next meal. Everyone loves and Italian girl, from her dark hair and olive skin to her affinity for buying Italian Vogue, just to look at the pictures. Do you love Italian women???
