Subliminal Advertising

Okay, I know I said I was going to take a break, but I saw this today and couldn’t not share it. Sorry about the picture quality here, I was taking picture of my tv set.  See anything strange in this picture? How about now?  Thanks for the laugh, Grey’s Anatomy. I needed that.

Breaking

I am in the kind of funk that can only come from spending 2 months job hunting without any success.  Seriously, it has been 2 months.  Even retail seems to be falling through at this point. Who keeps snagging all of the open jobs?  I don’t care how bad your job is, you should feel [...]

Which came first, the Kitchen or the Mixer?

Okay, so I just saw this post by Mrs. Avocado on Wedding Bee, and then I found this article and I just had to share my opinion. When I first fell in love with the Pink Kitchen Aid Mixer, everyone thought I was crazy. At the time I was 19 or 20 and living in [...]

Loyalty

About a week or so ago, Baby L – who is too old to be called a baby anymore, because he’s almost one year old and therefore almost an adult but Teenage L just doesn’t have the same ring – decided he didn’t want to share a bed with me anymore.  I have a queen [...]

Spiritual Roadtrip

I promised a wholehearted Sunday post on where I am with my spiritual journey and the issues I am wrestling with.  You all know I wanted to find a church that aligned with my belief system. I wanted to find a church where I could become part of the community, so I could find friends [...]

Liveblogging the 2008 SAG Awards

I gave up red carpet coverage in favor of watching the closing scenes of Rush Hour 2. Don’t blame me, the outtakes are hilarious, and I’m a sucker for MJ’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”. Oh, but now the show begins! I won’t lie, I’m only blogging the first two hours of it. I’m [...]

Liveblogging Dilemma

Okay, so you all know that sometimes I liveblog special events as they are happening on TV. Does anyone remember what my next liveblog event will be? The SAG Awards! Very good, class. That’s this Sunday on TBS or TNT at 8, with red carpet coverage beginning at 6. Feel free to tune in so [...]

Birthday + Brie

P’s Birthday Celebration started out on a low note. As roommates go, we are pretty close knit. So when Miss Jay dumped Mr. Jay that afternoon it was really difficult for all of us. Without going into the details, Miss Jay was understandably upset (or, um, devastated) and the rest of us were ready to [...]

Church Service

Someone asked me to talk more about what it was like going to church this past Sunday. I didn’t go into details before because I didn’t want everyone to think that’s all I’m going to write about from now on, but now that I know people are interested I will share more. But it won’t [...]
