I have two new girl crushes. <\/p>\n
One of them isn’t that new. If you haven’t been here <\/a>yet, go immediately. I had a blind brunch date with Elaine from I Could Kill Her this past weekend and, if you can believe it, she’s even cooler in person than she is on the blog. I expected someone hilarious, fun, and intimidating. I’m happy to report she definitely has tons of the first two traits and none of the third. I love love love her.<\/p>\n The other is here<\/a>. My friend Laura K sent me in Grammar Girl’s direction and she is just too much like the Girl I wish I was. GTB and I were talking the other day about what we’d do if we won a $250 million Powerball game. I told him I’d finally get to live out my wish of traveling the world, correcting bad grammar and spelling on menus. (Actually, that was my first editor’s dream, but it’s so good, I stole it.) Grammar Girl’s photo gallery <\/a>demonstrates my second lottery-life choice. <\/p>\n So, enoy these smart women until I think of something clever to write about that isn’t related to my ever-increasing gut, insatiable hunger, or lapsed gym membership. It could be a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have two new girl crushes. One of them isn’t that new. If you haven’t been here yet, go immediately.
