Dear god, work is really starting to get in the way of my tumblering. That and the fact that I actually went to the library this week, got a new library card and have been reading. I am a very absorbed reader, and when I’m in the middle of a book, it takes a lot for me to put in down.  It’s also becoming apparent that I’m working too much when it starts permeating my dreams. I...

“I just think it’s a matter of time before more people are choosing the synthetic option.” Thanks Davecat, but I beg to differ. No. Most people use it for sexual gratification. You are the only person using it to substitute for a real life relationship, and I feel secure in saying that.

My strange addiction: Davecat (Davecat? Is that a real name) is married to a silicone life size doll. He talks to her, like when he’ll be home. I’ll let this one speak for itself.

Reason #7482375289037529385 why I love the family I used to babysit for: The mom and I e-mail back and forth occasionally. I hadn’t talked to them in awhile, so I emailed them to say hi and she responded with a lovely update on everyone. But apparently with all the snow, she’s been stuck inside with the kids all week and ended the e-mail with this lovely gem: “i can’t...

So I might start my own unique 10 day challenge, but I realized it might be a bit dull. A friend from work gave me a starter for Amish Friendship bread. If you don’t know what it is, (it’s yummy) it’s a bread that cannot be made without a starter. When you make it, you’re supposed to separate 4 cups of the batter into separate containers to give to four friends to then...

Apparently asparagus really does make your pee smell. TMI?

Teehee Obama made a funny about the TSA. And Boehner didn’t crack a smile. He smirked at the joke on the health care reform. I love all the posts about him popping up on my dashboard.

If you’re not willing to recreate the wedding scene from Glee at our wedding- singing and choreography included- then I cannot and will not marry you. Haters need not apply.

So, it just occurred to me that while all the sorority drama from three (three? am I THAT old?) years ago may not have been fun- in fact it was one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to endure- it makes for one hell of a great story (and a great redemptive, challenge-over-coming interview and application story).  So did you ever hear about that time we got kicked off campus for hazing? ...

I just remembered that my plan for today was to put away all the laundry I did earlier in the week. Well, initially that plan was to do that on Wednesday, since I was off. Either way it has not been put away. Part of the reason is that I’ve been trying to reorganize my closet before putting everything away. All the stacks of folded clothes have just gotten unruly so I’ve been...

My latest reflection: As much as I really want to go to California for grad school, I’m really starting to want to go back to DC. I loved AU (where I did my undergrad) and I love DC and everyone who is still there. If I get into schools on both coasts, and of course, I sincerely hope that I do, I think it will actually be difficult to decide between the schools better fit for my interests...

The Weather Channel desktop thing just informed me of a windchill warning with temperatures at 5 to 10 below 0 and windchill temperatures 15 to 20 below freezing. WHAT IS THIS. If it wasn’t for work, I wouldn’t leave my house for the next couple of days. As it is, I nearly slid down the driveway going to get the paper this afternoon.

Problem solved. Catching on the The Secret Life of the American Teenager next. It’s like 7th Heaven. But with more bad-acting and drama. Who knew that was even possible?

There are approximately 3 TV shows that actually make me laugh out loud. They are Psych, House, and  Friends.  I have been watching Psych on Netflix. I recently discovered the awesomeness of the Netflix app and have been watching stuff in the morning as I get ready for work and in the evening when I’m getting ready for bed. It’s a great time to watch movies and TV shows that I...

I never thought that the day would come when I would turn to my brother for makeup advice (he always comments that I’m wearing too much when I’m not, must be a big brother thing). But that day has arrived. Granted, my brother works for Avon and gets a nice discount. Although I noticed that Avon is rather cheap, and so I feel very good about my decision to purchase $5 eyeliner (with a...

STOP IT. The Gosselin’s are on Sarah Palin’s disaster TLC show. I don’t know what to think. It’s a collision of things that I love and hate. It’s like two things that should never mix. Two worlds colliding. I feel uncomfortable. I was going to change the channel because of Sarah Palin, but now the Gosselin’s are on, SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I...

I think someone at work the other day pulled a fast one on me. She came up to me with these little stacking baskets and a big trash can (worth at least $99) in her cart. She said she wanted to buy the baskets and asked me how much they were. I told her they were $3.99 each. She was all like whaaaat but they don’t even come apart. I kindly showed her that they did, and pointed out that each...

I just went to Fairway for the first time.  I’ve been craving camembert, as I used to sit around my apartment and eat bread and cheese, but kosher cheese is hard to find with a good selection. My dad had offered to take me this weekend, and somehow it became a family affair. Talk about sensory overload. THERE’S SO MUCH THERE. Tried so many samples (coffee soda = YUM). Now I have my...

Also, today sucked. It was just one of those days where you just can’t seem to do anything right. Now my head hurts. I just want to stuff my face with challah (Jew food FTW) and go to bed.

They’ll never repeal the healthcare bill, you all said. They repealed the healthcare bill.

I think that if the Republicans overturn the healthcare reform bill, I’m going to incite all the soon-to-be college graduates and recent post-graduates to start a riot or revolution. You know, those who can’t find jobs or can only find jobs that don’t offer health benefits. Because a lot of the jobs that do offer health benefits require experience, but nobody will hire us to give...

I squandered an opportunity to go to the gym before work this morning. I slept in instead. And you know what? I’m totally ok with that. Although next week I cannot slack this much.

Weirdest thing to see when you turn on the tv? A TLC Special called “The 8-Limbed Boy” And the first thing you see is a little boy with a tush attached to his stomach and several limbs hanging there as well. THERE ARE LITERALLY A PAIR OF LEGS WITH FEET DANGLING FROM HIS STOMACH. It’s called a parasitic twin, aka conjoined twin gone even more wrong. And of course, I’m...

I need to find a blog dedicated to good KOSHER recipes. I love a lot the recipes posted on here, but it’s always disappointing when it’s things I can’t eat (like meat sandwiches with cheese that add a lot of the flavor). I can always adapt things, but sometimes you just can’t! There’s lots of kosher cookbooks with some good recipes, but I’ve never seen anything...

Hugh Laurie has been nominated for an Emmy or a Golden Globe pretty much every year.  He deserves to win! (I’m not knocking Steve Buscemi, I don’t watch Boardwalk Empire.) He’s just a great actor, and it’s a great show!

I saw a post earlier about how someone compared northern sorority women to southern sorority women. It came down to basically that southern sorority women are classy, intelligent, educated women and northern sorority women are trashy, half-naked hoes. I take a lot of offense to that. I have friends from the south who would probably say that for every trashy northern sorority girl, there is an...
