Independence Day

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

As in the movie. Starring Will Smith. Yes?
I watched a rerun on TNT this weekend and - now that I am wiser woman, as well as a spurned woman - caught something that just never stood out to me before.
The dolphin wedding ring Will Smith gives his stripper girlfriend.
Friends! I searched and searched the internets [...]

Let’s get to the REAL problems of the world.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I am a personal attendant in a wedding this weekend.
I am sick, sick, sick of leaving my hair down for weddings. Boring, right?
So, I’m in for a haircut with my fantastic, talented hair lady - whom I don’t rely on to make life decisions but whose breadth of hair knowledge gives me something to believe [...]

One Year Ago…

(Okay, a year and a week. I was unable to post last week due to technical difficulties.)
We adopted little Iris.

I love her.

Case Study: Iris the Dog

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Nature or Nurture? After being heavily influenced by her older male cousin, Tobey, Iris has started to simultaneously sqaut AND lift her leg while doing her number one business.
In a study of varied interactions between Iris and children, I have found that she is terrified of them. Anyone under a certain height will cause the [...]

Memories from my Youth: The One that Got Away Because I Told Him to Go

Monday, April 13th, 2009

The other week, Facebook did a Sweet Home Alabama and flung an old flame from the past to the present. Though we weren’t technically married ala SHA, we were high school sweethearts and did elope during one very wild Sadie Hawkins.
Because he is, as my friend Kirsten politely puts it, simple, let’s call him Backwoods [...]

Passing Fancies

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Because I am an obnoxious oversharer, here’s a new list for yous guys:

Rachel Getting Married - Um, loved it! It exudes familial joy and angst in concert. Amazing!
The Tipping Point, by Malcom Gladwell - The skinny jean revolution finally makes sense!
“The Ice is Getting Thinner” by Death Cab - sad, but good!
“Unknown Legend” by Neil [...]

Support public transportation!

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Now, I don’t know how “safe” it is to have your dog nuzzle in your lap as you drive to and fro, but it sure it freakin’ adorable.
Taking pictures with your cell phone as your dog nuzzles in your lap may or may not be equally as unsafe. I’m 85% sure I was stopped when [...]

Same Difference

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I miss you, internet friends.
I will be back soon, but for today?

A lemur - doing what lemurs do best - will serve as a replacement for my blogging.
Let’s call him Leroy.

Michael Phelps Burst My Olympians-as-Symbols-of-Purity Bubble

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

So, we’ve all read the news about our country’s precious waterbaby, Michael Phelps, being busted smoking the gange. If you couldn’t quite get a visual, allow me:
My first reaction? Good for him! I’m sure he needs a little relaxation in his life.
If I remember ANYTHING from my days of following Michelle Kwan and hoping to [...]

Aesop’s Newest Fable: The Battery That Was Quite Expensive

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

I was just about to go to bed when…
I hear the remote fall off the couch, knocked off by my aforementioned puppy friend.
Remote falling = batteries falling out of remote which has no back = puppy friend eating batteries
So, puppy friend trots up to me with half of a AAA Energizer sticking out of her [...]
