My mom is such a social networking butterfly.
Me: You're so popular on Facebook.
Mom: [smug voice] I know.

I’m putting on my battle armor tonight people. WATCH OUT. I don’t have time for games or drama and it ends now!

If you could go back.. what would you do...

Most people know this, but I wasn’t really happy with my wedding. I let my mom take control, mainly because I wanted something low key. I got flowers I didn’t want( florist’s fault), in a venue I didn’t want (my fault), with band/DJ we hated (restaurant’s fault).
If I had a re-do, I would: Have it during ther warmer months so we could take pretty outdoor photos. Hire a...
I don't often comment on this crowd, but I've just...
…That I am decidedly not a fan of the scarf-as-top look that Meghan Asha is wearing here. Another thing I suspect about this creative dressing motif is that it probably photographs better than it looks in person—which isn’t saying much.
That would have been exciting.
So what started the stripper clothing/bachelorette party gifts conversation with Ellie, you ask?
I thought I’d found some cute shoes for Ellie to wear as bridesmaid to the wedding, but then she discovered they were also being sold by DiscountStripper.com.
I promise I have good taste. Promise.
Discussing bachelorette party gifts with Ellie.

Life facts
mufti:
So I’ve been thinking lately about how I haven’t really written anything of substance in a while and I realized that part of the reason is that I have felt like some of the things going on in my life are a little too personal to share. But right now I just feel like being honest.
For the past couple of days I’ve been pretty grumpy/sarcastic/mean/snappy, etc. There really was no reason...
“‘Osama, baah!’ Bashir roared. ‘Osama is not a product of...”
– Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
Besides being one of the most inspirational books I’ve read, it’s also painfully insightful.
An office has the same cast of characters no...
There’s always a:
Clown/jokester
Beauty queen
Dedicated professional
Asshole
Sweetheart
I’m sure I could think of more, but I just had Thai food and I’m in a food coma.

I swoon, I swoon. One of the only shows that consistently makes me hungry—starving even—by simply watching it.
I bet Oprah's pissed this went public.
I KNOW she wanted that Senate seat. I like her “I almost fell off the treadmill” line, but it doesn’t fool me.
A lethal combination.
Drama queen attitude + fake sincerity + overwhelming narcissism + self-aggrandizing behavior = the most frustrating person ever. WHO EXISTS BTW. IN MY LIFE.
I have a surprisingly high tolerance for...
But this Jitterbug ad crosses way too many lines of irritation for me.
Thank god my office keeps a fully-stocked kitchen.
I’m munching on an apple and string cheese.
My New Blog (Thank You Jaclyn)
spiker16:
Today I created a blog for my music and poems…or just to give updates on me to my Brother and soon to be Sister in Law…or more like a sister!!!! YAY!!!!! I’m excited….
Check out my sister-in-law to-be’s new Tumblelog! :)
Got my free Nylon magazine in the mail yesterday.
Thanks Urban Outfitters!
Designing Facebook pages at work.
Coffee plus design work?
Today is a great day!
There is nothing more unprofessional than...
Voicemail is not an acceptable “solution” to the pesky phone ringing, unless you’re in a meeting.
If your phone rings, answer it. Your secretary/assistant/etc. should never miss a phone call. If they do, they should make sure they try and find out who was calling.
On the off-chance someone called during weekend or evening hours and left a message, make sure you call them back...
Stop trying to use up all your allotted time.
MSNBC Reporter: Do you think we’ll ever know what was in that letter—“from #43 to #44”—that Bush left for Obama?
Another MSNBC Reporter: BlahBlahBlahPoliteChuckleBlahBlahUhh, no we are definitely not finding outBlahBlahBut I bet it had some good advice!ChorkleBlah
I really love Battlestar Galactica:
But 12 hours of it?! I’m going into a Cylon-induced catatonic state.
BRANDON: I NEED A BREAK.
100,000 gathered in Baltimore to meet Obama now!

This is such a special and touching moment.
Brandon should have gone. He works right outside of downtown Baltimore.
MSNBC FAIL.
Stop asking people if this plane crash reminded them of 9/11 and if the “low flying plane” scared them.
STOP STOP STOP.
