Homemade pizza, PJs, and SO. MUCH. CHAMPS.*

People Who
After a pet’s passing, bring home a clone.
In high school I went to a friend’s house, the dog came to the door:
Me: Hi, Eli!
Friend’s nonchalant mom: Oh no, Eli’s dead. This is Arlo.
Me:
Also weird to me? Naming pets the same thing. Micah’s friend grew up with Pouncers 1-5. Simpsons style. Who actually does that.
valerina replied to your post: I fear for us as a people.
Someone’s fired.
HA. If. Only.
If I’ve learned anything about the working world, it’s that HR regulations make it damn near impossible to get rid of anyone. Forget about a timely fashion.
You can consistently fail to complete the basic tasks of your job description and comfortably remain employed.
This is why I’m...

I fear for us as a people.
In two instances of alarmingly low brain power, I was sent incorrect replacement cards. First, after going to the bank and filling out the proper paperwork to switch the name on the account to my married name…I was sent a replacement debit card with my maiden name. Which is what I already had in my hand. And which helps me exactly none. Then, I receive the 2011 insurance cards in the mail...

Observe and Report is so tremendous
Sick and genius and one of the greatest soundtracks basically ever.
Cool Life
Last night I noticed my legs were blotchy and blue and momentarily wondered if I had somehow a) contracted leprosy b) been beaten something merciful without realizing…
It was dye from new jeans. Stained my legs. Wondahful.

In which people have no shame.
Received both a facebook invitation and a mass text from a girl I was friends with once upon a time and am very clearly not anymore…asking me to donate money…for her dog’s (non-life threatening) surgery.
I’m sorry, what? Excuse me?
Not that I wish anything but the best for your pup (not his fault you suck), however:
It’s $1100. Certainly not an insignificant...

Genius Bar appointment made.
Does this mean the problem will fix itself to spite my pro-activeness? Isn’t that a law of nature?

Computer still not charging/turning on.
I was hoping it would heal itself magically overnight as electronics are wont to do…nope. What I’m not looking forward to?
Schlepping to the Apple Store
Shelling out for a new charger…or worse.
Damn you, dim green light, damn you.

Others who closely resemble Butthead
Those twins on MTV who had plastic surgery to look like Brad Pitt.
Best of luck to you both…

Nothing like coming home to a dead computer.
Why can’t you fully illuminate, MacBook Pro charger? This dim green light business doesn’t seem to be doing the job.
And kitty is all MAMA MAMA LOOK AT ME MAMA and I just can’t. Shut. Up. Animal.

MTV got it right. Seriously, they nailed it. And by “nailed it,” I don’t mean they just did a great PSA for abortion. I mean they told the many-sided truth: that abortion is safe and common, that abortion has been made difficult to get, and, most importantly, that abortion is a complex decision made by complex human beings. (That thump you heard around 11:35 p.m. EST...

Everyday is TMI day
Getting a facial today (bracing myself to be tsk tsked to death) and cannot even wait.
I LOVE EXTRACTIONS. I love them so much.
To me, if a facial doesn’t include them, there’s no point. It’s so satisfying. Like, I wish I could look down on myself while it’s happening just to see how productive it is.
When the esthetician apologizes for “hurting” me,...

Lessons in tolerance.
Me: Ooh, I don’t like that. When people pronounce therapist as “thurapist”…is that an accent or just being ignorant?
Micah: A little bit of both.
Me: Really? What accent is that?
Micah: …redneck stupid.
champagne-campaign asked: So I was genuinely inspired by your coupon-clipping/saving ways story last week, and am resolving to be more like that. I just clipped a bunch of coupons for toiletries! (Wild night here in Ohio). And also, I believe that no one should enter Bed Bath & Beyond without a coupon.

NOT a resolution, just a reminder
I have mistreated my body these past few months. Eating anything and everything, past the point of satiety, to the point of ‘what the hell did I do and why’, to the point of truly fearing the scale because I didn’t want to see the truth, and against my better judgment.
Goodies taste good, but not good enough to make the aftermath worth it. Not worth feeling icky and off because...
