I recently posed a question on my Facebook page: At what point does snarky humor cross the line to bitterness? To which my insightful friend, Kym, replied, “I contend that all snarky humor is merely someone’s bitterness or displeasure wrapped in a passive aggressive package.” She’s a wise one, that Kym.

My husband calls me Larry David. As he says, I am impatient, outspoken, and easily annoyed with people over mundane things. Which in all honesty is a fairly accurate assessment. And so he calls me Larry David. (Although he says it with love.) Jim is a big fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And during one episode…
I don’t know what predisposes each of us to our various strengths and weaknesses, be it genetics, a higher power, or simply fate. But whatever it is, it chose to give me an amazing aptitude for language arts… and absolutely zero skill for math. I love to read and adore the writing process. I find…
Since I’m having some trouble looking ahead to 2013, I thought I’d instead take a look back at 2012 with a recap of my favorite posts and pictures throughout the year. And in doing so, I’d like to take a moment to thank you – my readers – for your enduring engagement and support, along with…
I recently read a hilarious post at Aiming Low called E-mails You Probably Shouldn’t Send.

My blog baby is two years old today. And if my experience with its slightly older sister is any indication, this means it should soon start exhibiting a fierce sense of autonomy, habitually keep me up at night, and generally deplete my energy stores with its constant need for attention, all in addition to amusing me daily….
Every so often, I’ll spend the entire work week anticipating a leisurely Friday evening complete with wine, some quality writing time, and maybe even a movie night with Hubs, only to realize when it finally arrives that I really just want to go to bed. This week, I’m experiencing the blogging equivalent with Friday Tapas…
This week, two of the most supportive bloggers in all the land – Alison of Mama Wants This and Ado of The Momalog – are celebrating their one-year blogging anniversaries. And true to form, they’re inviting others to join them via their 1st Blogoversary Blog Bash – a blog hop/giveaway amalgamation that looks to involve…
Weekends – the Holy Grail of every work week – have not been kind to us throughout this unusually mild winter. Rain. Illness. Cold weather. Even what little snow we got – week after week, they all seemed to occur with soul-crushing regularity on these two most hallowed days of reprieve from the daily grind….
Hello! I'm Kristin, a self-proclaimed city girl now living the rural life with my husband, daughter, and a black cat named Boo in eastern West Virginia – or as I like to spin it, the far western suburbs of D.C.
Welcome to What She Said, an irreverent blend of family, life, and humor. Because if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.
