I promise, aren't you?, because I can't do report cards 24/7, conversation of the day, earning my dork badge, i might be addicted to tags, i should be a cheerleader, lists, thank you Eleni, the last line is my favourite, this makes me sound dumber than i am, top 10, what i found when i went looking I was on the phone with a friend recently and mentioned Twitter. My friend (who lives an almost technology free existence) started asking questions. TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
Her: “Soo, explain to me how you decide what is worthy of writing about on twitter?”
Me: “Um.. if it’s a thought in my head.”
Her: ” So it’s just random thoughts?”
Me: “Well you make it sound unimportant!”
Her: “Have you ever talked about your lunch?”
Me: “Irrelevant!”
Her: “So that’s a yes.”
Me: “Twitter changes lives. It finds dogs and people. AND STARTS REVOLUTIONS. JUST LEAVE TWITTER ALONE.”
Her: “You are …READ MORE
January 3rd, 2011 in a possible regret, because "guilt" is a dirty word, fingers crossed this works, help, I like annoying people by talking about how much i like comic sans, i love fragment sentences, i might be addicted to tags, i need to spend more time on spelling, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, love harder, quote of the day, self improvement, swimming in a sea of self pity, the title says it all, today has been crummy, when i ask you to do things for me, you're skimming this one You know what the weird thing is? (Other than starting posts with a random question) It’s the fact that right now, my world is full of extremes. I’m either locking myself in the bathroom at work with the taps running so people can’t hear me cry or I’m stifling a laugh when one of my students comes to school with a stuffed rodent and proclaims to everyone “Get over here and touch my beaver! I’ve got the softest beaver in the wooooooooorld“. The downside of course, is that a second after you catch yourself smiling, you feel guilty. Like being …READ MORE
October 10th, 2010 in books, games we play, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i know- we all LOVE him, i might be addicted to tags, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, i'm like barbra walters, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it's almost like a meme, lists, pirates, the less i worry the happier i am, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, when I go all Dr. Seuss on you You know what I hate? When you take a hiatus from something (like, oh I don’t know, BLOGGING) and are thinking of starting again but are nervous (because what if you have nothing interesting to say?!), and people are all *up in your grill saying ‘don’t worry about it! it’s just like riding a bike! it will all come back to you’. Because really, when does that ever happen? When’s the last time you quit something and started up again and it was effortless? And am I the only one who ever finds riding a bike challenging?
Don’t answer the …READ MORE

Bins of throw pillows, each carefully picked for plumpness, coziness and all around ‘I want to curl up and read a book with you’ feeling- $64
Wire shelving units that appeared easy to construct but resulted in me cursing so much I would have made a sailor blush and almost resulted in the loss of my pinkie finger- $58
Approximate number of hours it took to sort each book into categories- …READ MORE
November 26th, 2009 in better the second time around, confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, hey it's Friday! let's say something nice, i might be addicted to tags, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it happened this week, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, question of the day, the world according to me, when i ask you to do things for me, when i say it anyway I teach Health to eight year olds. Once a week, for thirty minutes- we talk about how to brush your teeth or what to do if your kid brother lights you on fire with firecrackers and the many different types of flammable liquid one can find around the home (and why it’s bad news bears to drink them).
One of the things we work on in Health is self- esteem. They are growing up in a Bratz Dolls universe and any doll that can make Barbie look like a slob has got to be dangerous. So last Health block, …READ MORE
One of my favourite ladies wrote about what she never regrets doing. Given the last few days and the fact that my ‘regret’ pile has become exceedingly high, I thought this would be a great idea for me to do.
Having a nap Buying the insurance Asking for help Wearing the big earrings Saying “I’m sorry” Booking the trip Stating my political views Not waiting for the kiss Adding more blueberries to the pancake mix Bringing my camera Listening to “Faded” by Soul Decision Ordering water at 2 am Packing extra socks
What do you NEVER regret?

It’s definitely time for a new topic. In fact, I can’t think of a time where a new topic was MORE NEEDED. But the thing is, any time I sat down to whip up something new, my brain melted into a puddle. And not even an engaging or mildly entertaining puddle but more into a gross, sticky, gooey, I’M UNHAPPY WITH THE WORLD sort of puddle.
Anyway.
I got over it.
And got my brain back.
Apparently.
Over a year ago, I wrote a LOVE LIST of things I adored and you know, this seemed like a …READ MORE
February 18th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, advice, books, Dairy products make the world a better place, holidays, i might be addicted to tags, i should be a P.S.A., i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, midgets and/or peacock feathers dipped in gold, so egan will LOVE this, soapbox Last year, I eased my own your fears and listed off a few things I think I everyone should just feel okay about. I titled the post “I promise” but said the alternate title could be “Things I do, so they should just be generally accepted as good ideas” and/or “This idea was stolen from Glamour magazine, one of the only beauty/fashion magazines I can tolerate because it doesn’t feature $9,000 dog carriers and there are no sex tips that involve donuts/midgets/ peacock feathers dipped in magical gold dust”. Naturally, I made a tag titled “midgets and/or peacock feathers dipped …READ MORE
December 17th, 2008 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, and now you might know everything, famous people make for good gossip, i might be addicted to tags, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, question of the day, Wednesday nights make me frisky, when i ask you to do things for me, your vote matters here So yesterday I had a conversation about Salma Hayek. And Tina Fey. And who I’m more like (which? For the record? Was not a conversation I started). And the answer I got left me unhappy and talking with a lot of exclamation marks. Which, I know is silly because really, both of them are pretty stellar in completely different ways. It did make me wonder though, if YOU could have people view you as similar to either of them, who would you want to be more like? Or if you are a dude, who do you think is cooler?

October 21st, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, brookem is awesome!, confession of the day, disappointment, i complain because I care, i might be addicted to tags, I've fallen into a funk and I can't get up, stuff like this makes me want to quit, wedding season is kicking my ass, what the hell Confession: I haven’t really liked myself lately.
This has nothing to do with my hair not cooperating or the fact that my favorite fall clothes are not fitting the way I like. It’s more than that. It’s less than that. I haven’t liked my attitude lately. And by that I mean, if I could figure out a painless way to curb stomp some sense into me, I would.
I’ve been sleeping well. I’ve been visiting friends. I’ve been working regularly. I’ve been running and reading and writing in my journal. I’ve been taking my vitamins, deep conditioning my hair, remembering …READ MORE
