1. This one is all over the place. Kind of like NBC’s olympic coverage…
    Olympic fever. It has hit me, hard. It always does. Summer. Winter. Always. In 1996 in Atlanta, I actually got to be right in the thick of things, including a run-past-security dash to storm the floor after the closing ceremonies were over. No, really. I am not kidding. No, I haven’t a clue who those [...]

  2. Rebel without a passport.
    So, I was all set to write you another post about BlogHer09, one that involved tales of too much barf in the Sheraton and one that involved Miss Metalia’s brilliant idea (she’s an ideas person, you know…) to cure me of my phobias using a little aversion therapy (otherwise known as “you know what you [...]

  4. water progress
    You can add one more thing to the big list of things I don’t like doing: GETTING WET. (no I’m not proud) I am not much for swimming. I mean, the idea of swimming to me is when I am lying out beside the pool with an ipod, a good book and a giant beverage, and the heat [...]

  5. Yes, pie and flossing *do* excite me. Wanna make something of it?
    My family was sitting around the table on Friday night, discussing politics. That’s the way it always is when my mom is in town. She was all agog because my stepdad is going to meet Obama when he comes to town for the re-opening of the all-new green Johnson Controls building. I mean, he’s the [...]

  6. my ali-never-gets-hit-on reputation remains and a contest

  7. snowmaggedon and ginger-casualties
    so, Snowmaggedon was supposed to start last night. we were supposed to get 50 cm of snow. They were showing clips of people getting bumped on Air Canada, being begged to take earlier flights, so that they’d make it to their destinations by christmas. There were advisories. There are live blogs.  and storm watches. stay [...]

  8. oh, Sean Avery. alternate title…Mommy, what’s sloppy seconds?!?
    suspended indefinitely? seriously? and now this only adds fuel to the Emily fire. Just last week after watching Grease she turned to me, out of nowhere, and said, “Mommy, what’s ’sloppy seconds’?” so, now she’s not allowed to watch Grease anymore. or SportsCenter. thoughts? on the whole Sean Avery fiasco…not on my parenting skills (because if any of you were [...]

  10. quite possibly the longest red light ever
    i was all set. i had so many things to tell you. i was going to tell you about my awesome Canadians-have-it-in-October Thanksgiving dinner… (come on…not bad for a first-ever-effort!) i was going to tell you about my newest obsession. oh, yes, True Blood IS that good. (well, with the exception of the Shannen Doherty-esque Alberta-sized gap between Anna [...]
