It’s just not fair

I am a good person. I am not a slob. Sure, sometimes I throw my clothes on my chair or bed, instead of putting them away immediately. Sometimes, I’ll put off doing the dishes for a couple days. And maybe, maybe I’ve occasionally waited too long between bathroom cleanings. But, I repeat, I am NOT [...]

Sometimes I feel like I’m too old for this

This past Saturday, I went up to Baltimore to see some girlfriends from college. Actually, let me clarify: I went to see some girlfriends who are still in college. Sorority sisters. Saturday was Revelation – the day when the girls in last year’s new member class (i.e. last year’s pledges) get their little sisters (i.e. [...]

Call it a gift

I really wish I had Fridays off. Or, that I was allowed to wear jeans. Or both.
But, let’s be honest, if I had Fridays off, I probably wouldn’t bother getting dressed.
Aaaanyway, here’s a little treat to get you through the day. Don’t say I’m not a giver.

If you can watch that [...]

TMI Thursday: Can you *really* blame that one on the champagne?

This is another one of those stories that isn’t really mine – and I thank God for that. It belongs to another sorority sister, except, well, she doesn’t think it’s true. But we’ll get to that. All in due time.
We were in our sophomore year of college at yet another sorority formal, and there was [...]

What a novel idea

I don’t usually get too political over here. Sure, I have my opinions, but I don’t claim to be a political guru, by any means. Last night, however, I watched Obama’s news conference focusing on the economy, and felt the urge to comment.
I can’t lie – for a little while, I was having bad flashbacks [...]

These days, I wish I was six again*

I don’t know about you, but when I was a child, I was absolutely brimming with confidence. (Which lasted right up until middle school.) I had no fear. I was so sure of myself. I knew I was the bomb…or something like that.
And sometimes I miss that feeling. But I LOVE being reminded of it [...]

Either a blessing or a curse

The other week I was doing some grocery shopping – hanging out with all the other cool kids who frequent Harris Teeter on a Thursday night. It was supposed to be quick. I knew what I needed; I had my list; I was prepared to be home in time to watch the new episode of [...]

Odds and Ends

1. Happy first day of spring!

For the record, I’m NOT in last place in my March Madness bracket – which is a huge achievement. Even this early on.
2. If you haven’t seen it, you should really watch this video. It makes Facebook look absurd (or, rather, more absurd than it already is with all the [...]

TMI Thursday: Honey! I’m home!

You know those friends you had in high school, whose parents never seemed to be home? The ones who would always host that weekend’s party? Our friend was Bame. He had a great house for parties, a pool for the summer, and, if his parents were home, we’d go into the woods behind his house [...]

My life is full of tough decisions

After reading Deutlich’s post about twittering, and talking to some bloggers last night, I started to consider giving in. I mean, everyone’s doing it, right? And since when has that not been a good enough reason to join anything? And there’s a small part of me that feels kinda sorta behind the times. Nearly every [...]
