I seem to be missing the shopping gene. Maybe it's just that I hate spending money. Or maybe it's that I'm impatient. Being 40 pounds lighter would certainly make clothes look better on me, too... Anyway, I was looking for a new interview suit for weeks without success. I tried Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and even *shudder* Frugal Fannie's. It's like ( Read more... )

I love the Obamas so much! Yesterday was awesome! I watched TV for like 12 hours, taking a break only to go to my PowerFlex class and buy new snow boots. I sat on the couch last night and flipped through the channels to watch the coverage of all the balls (hehe). I must have seen the president (yay!) and first lady (yay!) dance the same dance about ( Read more... )

Friends, I would like to request that you do the traditional "Go get 'em, Tiger" thing at 9 a.m. on Friday when I will be having an interview. I really really really want this job!

My landlords told me that they'll take $30 off the rent for each time I shovel the sidewalk in front of our house. Sweet! This makes me hate winter a little bit less.

This account manager in my office just told me that she had a dream the other night about Zac Efron. So did I! In hers, they were fighting snakes in a jungle. (Oh, the symbolism...) She said it was awesome and that she was really buff in the dream, like a sexy, female Rambo. I told her, "Wow, my dream about Zac Efron was the total opposite. In mine ( Read more... )

2008 was a pretty crappy year. Besides my softball team winning the city championship and Barack Obama being elected president (neither of which I could have predicted) and being a part of E+A's awesome wedding, there weren't too many good things about 2008. I guess the only other positive thing about 2008 that I can think of is my blog. I've ( Read more... )

So, apparently, we are going to see Doubt for Jewmas this year. As I told my family, "What better movie for Jews to see on Christmas than a movie about a nun and a potentially child-molesting priest?" I'm hungry for the Chinatown Chinese food already...

I didn't feel like sitting at home last night, so I called my crazy downstairs neighbor to see if she wanted to go to the bar across the street. It turned out that she was going there with her shady boyfriend anyway, so I just went and met them there after my shower. By the time I got there, the waitress had already closed out their tab, so I went ( Read more... )

Here's an e-mail that I sent to a friend who couldn't make it to a birthday party I went to on Saturday:

Are you feeling better? You didn't miss much at McFadden's. The people there were so skanky. Seriously, I hate going out around there. This one dude looked like a skinnier Scalabrine (I swear I'm not obsessed with him!) and he was like date ( Read more... )

I went to an event for Boston-area bloggers last night, which inspired me to write an essay about the nature of blogging here. That's the site that pays for the ads on my actual blog, on which I do not write anything personal. The bottom line is that I don't understand why a lot of people have these personal blogs that go into great detail about ( Read more... )
