1. i *was* going to talk about the hottest athletes in Beijing…
    so, i was going to make you all a list of my favorite (and by favorite, i mean most easy on the eyes) 2008 Olympics athletes. but i barely made it through the USA men’s swim team and i already had a list that was way too long. and i was starting to get all [...]

  2. this week i will…
    …attempt to NOT be such a music snob. i really, really am. i really, really wish i wasn’t, though. i realize that there’s a reason we have so many different radio stations. not everyone is going to like what i like. different strokes, right? but sometimes…things happen…where snarkyAli rears her head and says things on [...]

  3. sometimes classics are classics for a reason. you hear that, Hasbro??
    I love games. I always have. I guess it’s my competitive nature. And since ‘playing sports’ to me involves a big-screen television and a big-ass beer, I need to be competitive beat someone somewhere. Risk. Monopoly. Scattergories. Balderdash. Backgammon. Battleship. Trivial Pursuit. Clue. Scrabble. Boggle. Blokus. You name it. I’ll play it. And I’ll do everything [...]

  5. they are all like me…totally quirk-filled (i. love. it.)
    So, last week i was tagged by Irina at Spectacularly Normal. There’s not a chance i’d say no…because hello! look at her! Can you say girl crush? anyway, there are too many rules and remember…hi, i’m Ali. i’m not so good with rules. so, the gist is that i am supposed to tell you 6 quirky [...]

  6. a transformer, an interview, and a stack of books
    so, i’m working out again. well, i’ve always been doing the pilates (i hate you Mari Winsor and your v-sit position), but i took a short three month long hiatus from the treadmill. you see, i gave up my fancy, expensive gym membership to use the free gym at work. but carpools and a certain [...]

  7. on the QB1, gross generalizations, haircuts, and drunk dancing
    last night i watched my Superbowl dreams fly right out the window. all thanks to a hypothermic QB1. at least, i hope he was hypothermic. because otherwise, there’s little excuse for the game he played last night. the New York Giants deserved to win that football game…and you know why, Brett? because Eli Manning actually [...]

  8. Mommy toilet training boot camp
    the nanny is too soft. and the husband is too laid back about this whole toilet training thing. they wait for her to ask for the bathroom…which works sometimes…but, people, she’s TWO. she needs to be reminded. she needs to be picked up while she’s playing. she needs to be supervised. gone are the days when [...]

  9. a diaper free zone…also, ali is irresponsible
    “mommy, you have boobies!” “yes, Isabella. we pretty much cover this every morning. it doesn’t change. well, except when i’m pregnant” “i don’t have boobies” “no, still don’t” “also..i don’t have a crocodile in my mouth.” “no? well, that’s good to hear” “but he says ‘hey dude!’ like that” “interesting” “but he’s not in my mouth. he’s in the water.” “are you done [...]

  10. ugly bridesmaid dresses happen to good people
    (haha. just ask Anne) not me, of course…because you would have to first actually, you know, be a bridesmaid to have to wear something hideous…. like this or this or this …but alas, i’ve yet to have the pleasure of wearing something too bright or too puffy or too whorish or too patriotic or too smurfish. but i know that [...]
