August 13th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, i love fragment sentences, I need this on a t-shirt, i wrote this just for the picture, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., karma is going to get you, lists, picture therapy, proof i attract crazy, top 10, what i found when i went looking, when i say it anyway A few months ago, I wrote a post called “How To Not Be A Shitty Person“. People enjoyed it. In fact, I got a lot of thank you emails from people who decided to passively aggressively pass it on to the shitty people in their life. Basically, it was a situation where everyone ended up winning. Because winning feels good, I decided to do a follow up.

July 6th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, i like cupcakes more than gluten, it's almost like a meme, karma is going to get you, life lesson, lists, love harder, proof i attract crazy, something I won't forget, thank you Eleni, the Ex files, wedding season is kicking my ass I’m fairly certain someone (me) once said “When life gives you WTF moments, figure out how to turn them into FTW celebrations.” Which is only mildly less annoying than the phrase involving lemons and lemonade. Or the one your aunt always repeats involving lemons and tequila which she repeats so often you’d think she thought of it rather than reading it on a forward that she’s sent you roughly 34,595 times.
But phrases like that are around for reason (and not just to be complied into lists that your relatives forward you from now until eternity), they make sense. And when I …READ MORE
Well. Let’s just get this started.
A week ago, a blogger emailed me and shared with me an email she had received about me. Some anonymous person (because of course, these people are always anonymous) decided that the best way they could spend their time on Earth would be to write a novel full of lies about me and share it with the entire internet.
No, really.
And for the record? It’s all lies.
I’ve tried to articulate to friends how it feels to read something about you that is completely fabricated and realize that you have no control over …READ MORE
It’s a funny thing- to open your mailbox and expect to get a greeting from a friend or a shipping invoice from yet another late night online shopping binge and instead find yourself reading an email from someone, a stranger- who is so clearly disappointed in you and angry with you that it almost takes your breath away. Of course, the first instinct is to assume it’s a joke. CLEARLY no one can be that invested in the life of someone they haven’t bothered to ever talk to or email before to send out such an angry note. And so …READ MORE
January 18th, 2010 in beauty can get ugly, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, find the dorkiest sentence in this, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, harry potter, i am slowly going crazy, i complain because I care, i like cupcakes more than gluten, i may write about the west wing forever, i'm hot like fire, it happened this week, it's almost like a meme, lists, oh dear, p.s. i love me, pretty hair makes me happier, proof i attract crazy, quote of the day, reinforcing stereotypes since 1981, right on my sleeve, secrets, sometimes i get violent, the last line is my favourite, the one that nobody reads because of the title, this makes me sound dumber than i am 1. When I go to Starbucks, I become irrationally worried that I’m going to forget my order. I will spend the entire time stuck in the drive thru saying my order on repeat. But attempting to say it casually as well, so I don’t come off as a *robot. (Because yes, that’s a serious concern I have- people mistaking me for a robot). “Venti, non-fat, no whip, white hot chocolate, Venti, non-fat, no whip, white hot chocolate. Why yes, it IS cold out today. Oh you like my hair? Thank you! What would I like? Oh that’s easy, Venti, non-fat, …READ MORE
September 29th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i know- we all LOVE him, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it's not you it's me, it's okay- you can skim this one, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, lists, man I'm such a girl, oh dear, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., pretty hair makes me happier, proof i attract crazy, things I don't say outloud, today has been crummy, when i ask you to do things for me, when i say it anyway, when it doesn't go my way, you're skimming this one I have a healthy ego. I regularly am delighted by my talents (like knowing all the words to this song – just for you Ben), nod in agreement when people tell me I’m great (I assure you, this is a little more adorable and far less annoying than I just made it sound), and marvel at my genius. But people? I’ve got faults. Heaps of them. Truckloads of them. So many that you could stack them up, climb on top of them and touch the moon with your fingertips.
See? I wasn’t kidding.
September has been an amazing month but …READ MORE
January 15th, 2009 in conversation of the day, it happened this week, oh dear, proof i attract crazy, school, teaching, the J.O.B., the title says it all, these are the things that happen to me, you're skimming this one, youth Somedays I really hate parent bloggers.
Okay, that’s not true (I just needed a really controversial opening line and anything else my brain thought of involved B-list celebrities and was far too offensive to share), but honestly- I’m often pretty envious of parent bloggers. Having a kid is pretty much like having blogging gold on hand 24/7. Seriously. Every 2.8 seconds kids are saying something ridiculous enough that you could blog it and people would think you were hilarious. This is the same reason I get angry at bloggers who own pets. Or have significant others. Or you know, hobbies.

I may have even talked about it a few times, might have even casually shared a few views on what I thought. But, I need a day without discussing the topic that shall not be named. Because if I talk about it today, there’s a chance I may turn into someone as crazy as he who shall not be named.

I talked to someone today who has NEVER HEARD OF HARRY POTTER.
Apparently, it’s just “never been mentioned” around this woman. Seriously. It’s HARRY POTTER. How could have not even have heard of one of the movies, if not one of the books? That’s like saying that you haven’t heard of something called WATER or don’t know when Zac Efron’s birthday is. Everybody knows.
Except… her.
I feel like I’ve been hit with a stupefy spell.
How is it possible to have NEVER HEARD OF HARRY POTTER? * And yes, all those capitals are necessary, it’s really my only way …READ MORE

I love those posts. If I see a blogger has written one, I save it till last in my google reader. I like that they give everyone an opportunity to see a blogger in a different light. I like that they are usually completely unapologetic. I love that they are always so honest.
I’ve never done one before, mostly because my list of what I’m usually hating goes something … 1.Sarah Palin when she’s being smug 2. cream cheese …READ MORE
