That Storm can rain on me anytime

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

A few weeks ago, GTB told me we had to check out the new show Rockstar: Supernova. I’m not a reality TV fan (though I have made completely understandable exceptions for shows like Temptation Island 1, the Biggest Loser, and the occasional Girls Next Door). So I wasn’t all that excited at the prospect of […]

Better looking through relativism

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

While I’m currently focused on wedding flowers and losing five more pounds before I go gown shopping in two weeks, my mother and sister are perusing the web for MOB and MOH (that’s “mother of the bride” and “maid of honor” to you and me) dresses. I’m not sure what combination of words they plugged […]

“I’m not arguing that with you.”

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

My family often communicates in movie quotes. Goodbyes regularly consist of “Have fun storming the castle!” Dinner time is sometimes greeted with “Get in me belly!” My sister will occasionally whisper, “Let’s do a lap before committing to a location” as we enter a bar. We aren’t above the random “Let’s get pissed!” We’ve so […]

This fucking heat has got to go. Hey hey. Ho ho.

Monday, July 24th, 2006

You know you’re on the ass end of a heat wave when you check the weather report and say to yourself, “Thank heavens, it’s only gonna be 90 today.” I’m a total pussy about hot weather. Even for a native Washingtonian. I melt in the heat. I get cranky. I get lazy. I get a […]

Va-ROOM vs wheeeeeeeehhhhh…

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

As you may remember, a few months ago, I got a new(ish) car. My mom was about to get a new one and when she told me, I asked her what she was going to do with her old one. I was mostly kidding when I suggested she maybe sell hers to me for the […]

Bring me more steak!

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

Folks, the diet is working. I went to my parents’ house this weekend and weighed myself on the only scale I trust. Eight pounds. Eight gross, jiggly, bumpy pounds. Gone. In four weeks. Fuckin’ A, bubba. And before I even weighed myself, I knew I’d lost weight. Apart from the stuff I wrote about last […]

Where the boys are

Friday, July 14th, 2006

GTB and I just got back from visiting my brother and his family (more about the trip in a later post) and all I can say about the above picture is this: if Niles was in it, I’d probably have to have it framed and hung above my mantle. If I had a mantle.

Delusions. The good kind.

Friday, July 14th, 2006

You might laugh at this guy and think he’s being ridiculous, but I pity him. I know exactly what he’s going through. The pain and suffering that his daily life contains. The exhaustion you endure trying to match up to the person people constantly mistake you for. The agonizing feeling you get when you have […]

What the Hell is the sandwich generation? I don’t know, why don’t you go look it up.

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Merriam-Webster has added some really good words to their 11th edition. (Just typing that sentence makes me little tingly.) Go check out the official (if you count M-W as the last word on “official,” which I do) definitions and spellings of words like “google,” “polyamory,” and, my personal favorite, “unibrow.” Merriam-Webster Online

Mmm…beef!

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

I’ve had several people ask me how the meat-eating diet is going, so I thought I’d post an update. In short, it’s going well. I’m no longer sickened at the thought of choking down a piece of steak. In fact, I kind of crave it. Because it’s now summer, a.k.a barbeque season, we have been […]
