And you are both elated (hello link love, let’s just save mamma some typing!) and deflated (I was way funnier two years ago)?
And then you realize you just called yourself ‘mamma’ and you wonder what it says about you when you admit to yourself that you like it?
Me too.

May 25th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, celiacs, games we play, genius, i complain because I care, i like cupcakes more than gluten, i love fragment sentences, i should be a P.S.A., it seemed like a good idea at the time..., just do what i say, the title says it all I ate a bagel yesterday and now my stomach feels like there’s glass in it and invisible people are using it as a trampoline.
Gluten is such an asshole.
In other far cooler news- check out the project Peter and I are working on. In a word? Mind blowing.
Okay, ‘mind blowing’ is two words. Don’t blame me for my inability to count correctly. Blame this bastard bagel that is ruining my insides. I suspect my stomach feels how Amy Winehouse’s liver must feel. Angry and wanting to collapse on itself like a dying star.
The Secret Project will be …READ MORE
April 1st, 2009 in advice, books i'm not writing, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i am slowly going crazy, i know- we all LOVE him, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, just do what i say, life lesson, other people say it better, quote of the day, self improvement, the title says it all, the world according to me, things I don't say outloud, wasting time, when I go all Dr. Phil on you Sometimes I think about writing a book. Not a thoughtful novel filled with witty characters with irritatingly unique names like March or Shark or Journey. Not a thin book of essays detailing the true bizarre greatness of my family, an ode to Sedaris genius in less than 200 pages. Not even an easy page turner about single girls who wear expensive shoes and find love only after they’ve publicly humiliated themselves or spent time in a Thai prison. No, I think about writing an instruction manual. For life.
It would start off like this:
Chapter 1: BE KIND This chapter …READ MORE
January 24th, 2009 in because "guilt" is a dirty word, games we play, i know- we all LOVE him, it makes sense to me, it's almost like a meme, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, just do what i say, Q & A, secrets, the secret project, when i ask you to do things for me, why I will never be the CEO of Apple Yesterday I got the most fascinating email. It was from a girl, who had a secret and just wanted to tell someone. So, she emailed and told me. She didn’t write a long post in email, nor did she explain her secret- she just said it. And then said that she was a regular reader (but never commented) and felt like she could tell me. So she did.
That’s one of the things that fascinates (yes, ‘fascinates‘ is the word of the day) me about blogging. The ease at which people are willing to share things they normally wouldn’t share. …READ MORE
December 16th, 2008 in Andrea should move back to Canada, because "guilt" is a dirty word, Doing my part to help the economy, games we play, holidays, i complain because I care, I want to make Jim Halpert a mix tape, it's a good thing, it's almost like a meme, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, just do what i say, lists, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS. So, many of you know Lisa who is a) a gem b) the founder of 20SB. You know she’s a big deal because she’s first name only- Lisa. She’s the new Dooce. Trust. Anyway, Lisa let me in on this fun idea called Blog Carnival where you get a topic and write on it and then they get shared. And this months topic involved Presents! And a list! Two of my favourite things (Also? The day that there’s a topic that involves presents, lists AND Josh Lyman, I may pee my pants with excitement. Internet, you have been warned), so …READ MORE
September 12th, 2008 in advice, and then i laughed out loud, books, i like scotch & table dancing, i love fragment sentences, i may write about the west wing forever, i should be a cheerleader, i wish i was a Kennedy, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it was a dance dance revolution, just do what i say, lists, movies, music, oh look! i have opinions., politics, the title says it all, the world according to me, travel Everyone has them. The movie you must see, the song you must hear, the book you must read, the city you must visit. When I talk about my ‘musts’ I’m almost fanatical, my feelings are so strong on each of them. My list of ‘musts’ don’t necessarily mean they are my favorite. They are just what has stood out, became memorable and left me with something that I think others might find valuable. So, I give you a few of my ‘musts’, and hope that you will tell me a few of yours

Dear Facebook,
I write to you today with a heavy heart. We used to be so close! Remember that time you introduced me to Scramble and my loved ones had to send out a search party? What fun! I loved that game. You were witty with all your superlatives (three votes for being caught wearing a bunny costume for no reason? Go me!), and I loved that I could play Scrabulous any time I wanted (even with Beth who continues to destroy me).
You let me stalk all those people I went to highschool with- you know the ones you …READ MORE
May 19th, 2008 in advice, beauty can get ugly, holidays, i complain because I care, i like scotch & table dancing, i should be a P.S.A., if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it makes sense to me, just do what i say, oh look! i have opinions., shoes, soapbox, the world according to me, tip of the day, Uncategorized I’ve appointed myself an expert on all things summer. Why? Because I feel like appointing myself something and I have a lot of opinions today.
- if I can see your vagina, your shorts are too short. For real.
- Sunscreen- wear it. If I look at you and can’t help but wince in sympathy pains- I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. Even the prettiest summer dress, or most fantastic personality can’t distract someone from a lobster burn. Repeat after me, “baby oil is not my friend”.
- Perhaps skip the long sleeved silk shirt. Silk showcases sweat …READ MORE
February 11th, 2008 in famous people make for good gossip, Florence Nightingale I am not, games we play, i am slowly going crazy, i hurt, i might be addicted to tags, I should be sleeping, just do what i say, so egan will LOVE this, this tag is for you Arm! While I figure out what is wrong with my ear (I’m guessing an ear infection, which has worsened with me continually sticking my finger in my ear- as though shoving a phalange in there is going to suddenly cure me- oh and what’s that? I pulled out the word phalange? Yep, just showing off what I remember from the first aid class I took in grade 8. I would have no idea what to do if someone was having a heart attack, but I could correctly point to his phalanges- and his tibia. Because I took notes on what was …READ MORE
January 29th, 2008 in i am slowly going crazy, i complain because I care, i pretend i know martial arts, i should be a cheerleader, it makes sense to me, it's always easier to say it than do it, just do what i say, learning, people i like, quote of the day, seriously, sometimes i get violent, the world according to me, when I go all Dr. Phil on you, when i say it anyway January has been a hell-ish month. I’m not kidding. If there was a way to convey how much I’ve hated this month I would. But the best I have is my 13 year old self telling January it can just suck it. Suck it hard.
And now I’m giggling like a 13 year old. Because I said ‘suck’ and ‘hard’ in the same sentence.
But let’s get back to January.
I’m not saying ALL Januaries are awful. Just this past one. I would do a recap of all the horrible and awful and stressful things that happened this month (many …READ MORE
