i want to do an east coast/midwest/south tumblr...
missjacobi:
so that i, along with all the washingtonian tumblrs (lauren, chrissy, jess, kate, jodi, maryanne, katie, dani, and julia) can actually meet awesome people like casey, georgina, lindsay, emily, alishan, tatiana, meg, theodora, marissa, robert, rusty, and jade. (sorry if i forgot you in either of these lists but i follow so many all-star blogs it’s hard to keep track of you cool...
Regarding iPads
veronicalovesarchie:
I might get one just to hold it and see what it feels like to be an Olsen twin holding an iPhone.
HILARIOUS.
I just watched “I’m pregnant: and homeless.” Now, I’m watching “I’m pregnant: and I have an eating disorder.”
TLC shows blow my mind, people.
WIW
-.6 lbs.
Woo-hoo! I’ll take it. I’m still a little sore from the race on Sunday, but I had a great workout this morning, so hopefully I’ll be stablized in no time. Now that I FINALLY have a loss, I’m feeling super motivated and excited to see what I can do for this week!
Has Twitter peaked? →
Thoughts from the peanut gallery- do YOU think Twitter has seen it’s hayday?
Off to Milford, Conn. for a little run!
“TWO up-close shots of your mug in a row. Yeeesh, it’s a little...”
– Chris Hall. He loves me, I promise.
Cavities
I am leaving for the dentist to have my cavity filled.
Needles. NOVOCAINE. Drills. WAHHHHHHH.
My life is flashing before my eyes.
Think it’s wierd if I cry?
Dentist 2.0
Me: So I have a cavity. My very first one.
Jess: Oh no!
Me: I have to have it filled, tomorrow.
Jess: Yuck!
Me: I asked if they would fill it with frosting and they said no.
Jess: That would be awesome! It would taste like frosting all the time! A real life sweet tooth!
Me: I know! That's why I asked. Too bad. People these days, no sense of humor.
Gym or bakery?
WatchI can’t stop crying. To sit back and watch the sheer volume of lives affected by the earthquake in Haiti, is just overwhelming.
This video, however, made my heart smile.
Summer Vacation
Chris: What do you think about Maine for a summer vaca weekend?
Me: We should book a B&B in like March, they go quick
Chris: A b and b is what? Bed bath? Bed bath beyond?
Me: Bed and breakfast
Chris: Are those smelly?
Me: What??
Chris: like are the sheets clean? Are they like an old ladies house?
Me: Why would you think they smell?
Chris: Pancakes! Jammies! ahhahaha
Me: Forget it. We'll stay at a Holiday Inn.
Ed returns
Great news! Super intern Ed is back! He graduated in December and is now working for us part-time (**fireworks exploding, people whistling**).
Ed has extraordinary taste and frowns upon my recessionista habits.
Me: Ed! Seriously, this CVS brand hand cream is JUST as amazing as the Vaseline brand.
Ed: (frowns) Meg, no it's not. Vaseline brand is way better.
Me: I swear! I tried Susie's this morning, it's exactly the same. Mine even smells the same!
Ed: *sniffs the lotion*
Ed: (wrinkles nose) AH! Gross! It smells GENERIC.
missjacobi asked: how did you and the adorable boy meet? (if this story was already posted, no need to answer, i'll find it eventually)
thebluehour asked: Did you grow up in CT? Favorite Eastern Seaboard vacation destination?
brittanyabeijon asked: If we were friends we would just sit around and drink wine all day. Can we be friends?
iammattjordan asked: I started following you because you were an 860'er like me, as I did others. I stayed a follower to yours because it's an actual good blog. Keep up the good work!
Let's talk. I feel like sharing. →
Wednesday Blues
Today is A DAY. I woke up cranky, my body is crying with pain (therefore, so am I), the lights are dim at work, it’s gray outside, and everyone sat staring at one another, silently, at lunch. It’s just one of those.
At least I know I’m not alone. Blah.
Good thing mamacita is visiting (bearing gifts of wine…) for a cozy soup dinner.
Which one of these is not like the other...
haygirlhay:
I’m in a very weird spot in my life - everyone feels like an outsider, blah blah, I know. BUT. At this point I don’t think I completely fit in with any age group. Allow me to elaborate:
I’m 23. I have a full-time job. I have an apartment, which I share with a boy. I’m engaged.
A lot of other 23-year-olds I know are waking up with strangers and generally do not have their shit...
WIW
Up .3 lbs from last week. Not an epic fail, however- I’ve been gymming my little toosh off and I am incredibly sore. In these scenarios, I tend to see a significant drop the following week as my body adjusts.
(fingerscrossed)
80% of Nickelodeon food commericals are for junk →
My trainer emailed this to me this morning, in relation to our conversation last week about how he planned to feed his little tyke now that he’s eating real people food. Yikes. The worst part is, this is an improvement from 4 years ago, when 90% of commercials were for junk.
My poor future children are going to be SO unpopular in the lunchroom. Bring on the fruit leather!
Blogger woes
Lately I’ve seen a lot of scornful posts from professional bloggers whining about the ills and regrets of living life online. I find this frustrating for many reasons:
- Everything you post on the internet is 100% public. You should have thought about this (or thought about what you were posting) when deciding to be a blogger.
- You make a (very good, for many of you) living off of what...
Oblivious
Me: Did you see my blog yesterday? **giggles**
Chris: No, why?
Me: **giggles**
Chris: What did you do? Do I need to check this right now? Ugh (checks my blog)
Chris: Oh yeah! Did you try that? That video is SICK! (continues his day)
scenes-from-my-hood asked: how long have you and chris been together? also, hi!
Ask →
I deleted my first link because I did it wrong and forgot to put it back up. It’s working, if you’re curious.

Disappointment
I feel disappointed today. If there were two emotions I could eliminate, they would be jealousy (has no purpose) and disappointment. It’s just the worst feeling, whether it’s something small like losing a soccer game, or something big, like a life-long dream being impossible.
I’m staying positive, because I know everything will work out eventually, but it still feels crummy.
The Daily Chris (he's on a roll today)
Chris: So when does McLadden's (new Irish Pub) open? I'm getting sick of SideBunk (editor's translation: SideBar, the newish Guido-y bar in our hood)
Me: I hate Sidebar, last time we went it was a Jersey Shore invasion
Chris: Sidebar smells like LA Looks Hair Gel (mega hold) and fake tanner smells- the kind you used to smell like when you sprayed (editor's note: I had a love for fake tanning in college. I have since recovered.)
Me: HAHAHAH
Chris: BTW I was looking at that picture on your blog of us... you always make fun of my hands being stubby... but they look so powerful and strong in that shot. Like little mitts.
Chris: I'm dead serious. Take another look. Yours are long lady fingers, mine are dry, and not stubby.
Me: I gg.
