1. Nothing Tastes as Good as Saying I Quit Feels. No, Wait, That’s Not Right…
    Most people are really good at telling you what they are, well, not-so-good at. It’s really easy for me to tell you that when I sing, birds explode. I will most willingly tell you that you don’t ever want to see me dance. I waste money at Target! Sometimes I’m lazy! I have no bloody [...]

  2. I Guess I’m…A Bad Nut?
    Squirrels in Canada Ontario Toronto are black. I realize this is not earth shattering news. But let me just tell you that when you are American and you are used to the garden variety gray ones (you know, the ones who are actually afraid of people), when you are fairly new to the great white [...]

Also, she totally saved me from getting hit [...]

  5. That Time Albert Einstein Flossed…
    I am going to attempt to work through my list of ridiculously important things to tell the internets, mostly because you don’t really want to hear about my weekend of lying around in my pajamas, drinking coffee and eating donuts (4.5 total, but who’s counting really?!)(well, besides Mr. Jones the scale)(yes, his name is Mr. [...]

  6. Alimartell takes Manhattan. which is just like the Muppet movie, only with less singing.
    I am sitting in a hotel room in NYC (without wi-fi. again. seriously, Sheraton New York, you have really dropped the ball. I wonder if the Sheraton Manhattan, which is, curiously, right across the street, has wi-fi) watching Mike Rowe on tv and totally understanding now. TOTALLY, jenBshaw. I am also trying to finish wringing [...]
