Because These Are The Best Days

Oh hi blog!

When summer vacation started, my summer plans list looked something like this: 1. get up at 7am everyday 2. learn a new language (preferably something useful like Mandarin) 3. blog a few times a week 4. go for a morning run 5. become a domestic goddess worthy of her own show on TLC. 6. PREPARE FOR HARRY POTTER WORLD!

Summer vacation is half over and so far this is what my list has morphed into: 1. get up before noon-ish (Like that ‘-ish’? I don’t like putting serious limits on myself. My body reacts badly to boundaries) …READ MORE

Love is…

Finish this sentence:

Love is:___________________________________________________

Need some help? Here are some of mine:

… going to a concert you don’t want to go to because you know the other person NEEDS to see matchbox twenty so badly that they will be in physical pain if they don’t experience the caress of  Rob Thomas’ voice live.

… watching reality television when you’d rather put your arm in a meat slicer.

… saying your sorry when you mean it and following up your apology with a ordered in pizza home made dinner.

… checking each other for lice.

Happy early Valentines internet! …READ MORE

There is something happening in America. And on my blog.

There are moments when I know what I want to say but really struggle for the right words. You would laugh if you saw me- mumbling to myself as I drive to work, as I fold laundry, as I lay in bed. I envision it would be easier to rip out my heart and put it on my screen, but besides the fact that it would be insanely messy- I don’t think it would be enough. And so, in these moments I turn to the one device a blogger can use when she feels like she has a lot to …READ MORE

If there was a category called “most politically correct”, I would not win.

You know what’s a good way to ensure your post isn’t going to get read? Post it on a Friday afternoon. And make sure the title is lame.

Check annnnnnd check.

Yeah, it’s going to be THAT kind of post.

So, I hadn’t mentioned it, but I have been nominated for some 20sb awards.  Most diverse, most distinct, most interesting, funniest, most opinionated and least likely to be marked as read. With over 4,000 members, you can say that I was not only excited about being nominated, I was ready to sell my grandfather for a win. But, I wasn’t …READ MORE

Tina Fey, Salma Hayek and Me

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?

Because nothing says ‘Happy Birthday Jesus!’ like an ugly sweater competition

Five Things I refuse to apologize for

1.  My wit. And my modesty. And any lame attempt at a joke that has failed like me in a high school calculus class.

2. Wearing Uggs. I get it. People think they are unattractive. But seriously, who can show me a winter boot that IS fashionable? And one that I can put on in roughly 0.24 seconds? (Which? Is pretty high on the list of requirements for my winter footwear when I have to run outside and laugh hysterically at deal with children who have decided to lick metal playground equipment). …READ MORE

Yes!

That’s about all I can say right now.

The Obligatory Thanksgiving Post (OR What I’ve been thinking about for the last 7 hours)

I’m searching to find the laugh inside me right now. After writing yesterdays post where I started off discussing my WORST MORNING EVER, I awoke this morning with the smell of dog vomit in my nostrils.

I’m dog sitting right now and it would appear that my 4 legged sidekick is fighting some sort of gastrointestinal bug. Because the entire house that I’m living in while I watch this dog, was covered with both vomit and diarrhea at 4 am this morning. COVERED. As in, there was so much expelled waste everywhere, I have to assume she didn’t do this on …READ MORE

The Presidential Debate Drinking Game

As I write this, there’s still not a 100% confirmation on whether there is going to be a debate tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that there will be one. Not only do I have a drinking game for the event, but I am genuinely curious to what both candidates have to say about the current state of the world and what they thought of last nights episode of Grey’s Anatomy. With that said, I present the:

It’s like they’re…mmmagic 2008 Presidential Debate Drinking Game

Let the uprising continue

Watch this. It’s free, the soundtrack is excellent and you get to see joy on the face of many when they get free noodles and underwear.

Also? I couldn’t think of a better time for it to be released, could you?
