“True Life: I’m a Jersey Shore Girl” is the best thing that has ever happened to a rainy Sunday.
Thanksgiving Backfire
(Monday Night)
Me: Ughh, I think I’m getting sick.
Boyfriend: That sucks, especially right before Thanksgiving.
Me: I know. Now I’m going to have to lie so I can hold the babies.
My mom is one of eleven children, which means that I have 20 aunts and uncles and 34 first cousins. My older cousins have started having children of their own (13 and one on the way), which works out well, because I have an unnatural obsession with babies. There are currently at least nine children under the age of three. Guess how many were at Thanksgiving. NONE.
Cousins, if you bring the...

Oh, Canada
Off to Montreal for the week. Where the temperature is currently 19 degrees. I’m assuming my colleagues and I will get to our meetings by sliding down glaciers.
You Know You’re in North Carolina…
After back to back weekends in North Cakalaka, I’ve discovered five ways to definitively determine when you’re in this great state.
Look closely at the six year old casually tossing a football with his friend in the park. If he throws a perfect bullet spiral and is slightly overweight because his dad wants him to be an offensive lineman, you’re in North Carolina.
If the letter “A” is...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves about flying. Don’t patronize me with Southern niceties – just tell me the truth so I’m aware of the situation. Be honest and say something like, “People, turn off your iPods for a second. We’re heading into a...

True Confession: I Pretend I Went to UNC
If you went to Wake with me – a brief note before you start reading: I’m sorry. I know you love our school. Don’t hate me because I don’t. So, I didn’t have a lot of fun in college. I know that’s hard for a lot of people to understand. For most, it’s the absolute best four years of your life and you leave bleeding your school colors. If you’re friends with me now, you probably already know...

Newsweek: Barack Obama: How He Did It →
davidcho:
Part of the aforementioned package. It’s amazing and sheds a lot of light on Barack Obama past what you know from the campaign trail, or at least what I knew.
This whole story kind of adds the missing depth and reality that I never saw from the calculated speeches and everything else having to do with the campaign.
Great article. I wish this kind of journalism could’ve been...

I wasn’t going to do anything else about the election, but this stuff was just too weird and good to pass up…
So, Newsweek put together this special Election Package, and as a teaser they put in a lot of just odds and ends facts that are really weird and interesting, like:
-Palin and McCain rarely ever talking
-Palin taking the Ayers association and running with it (“palled around...

Dead Hobbit
Background: BFF called me in the middle of the night because her carbon monoxide alarms went off in her apartment and she came over immediately to escape. Also, Elijah Wood lives in BFF’s building.
---MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT---
BFF: [Arrives] Hi. I think I’m dizzy.
Me: No you’re not.
BFF: Yeah, I’m not. But I think I have a headache.
Me: No you don’t.
BFF: Yeah, I guess not.
Me: Want to get iced coffee and bagels in the morning?
BFF: Yesssss.
Me: Goodnight.
---MORNING---
Me: I just woke up in a mild panic. What if your whole building is dead? Maybe we should have called ConEd or the fire department last night.
BFF: I know I thought about that too, but everyone has the same alarms. If it was a real gas leak or something, they probably got out too.
Me: Are they done making all the Lord of the Rings movies?
BFF: If not, we’re screwed.

Letters to my (First) Unborn Daughter
Hey doll,
First of all, you are beautiful. And you look just like your mom – don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
Secondly, you should know that tomorrow is a pretty important day. I can’t talk about it too much because your grandfather will cut me (and subsequently you) out of his will, but it’s the day Barack Obama was elected President. It’s a day that changed everything and made our...
Cynthia: I am not a dog person, but this makes me want to get one.
Me: Yeah, but you're about to have a baby, which is kind of like a puppy.
Cynthia: Exactly like a puppy.

My Halloween Party by the Numbers
Money spent on costume: $0 (We’re in a recession and I had to buy mixers, so I decided I owned enough school girl attire to be Gossip Girl’s Serena.)
People who realized I was dressed as Serena: 0
Party attendees: about 80
People who thought I was a “slutty schoolgirl”: 79
People who thought I was LC from the Hills: 1 (my teenybopper show-challenged boyfriend)
