“While the film’s reputation has been tarnished somewhat by its nauseating...”
– The Cutting Edge, Ice Castles, Ice Princess: The Painfully Uneven Canon of Figure-Skating Movies. By Torie Bosch, Slate Magazine (via dirdy) (via angularmomentum)
One of my all time favorite movies.
(via chatter)
Epic. I own it, on VHS. I watched it on every single sick day I’ve ever had...
I'm watching Ice Dancing
…and this skater’s mouth has been open for the last 3.5 minutes. Not sure it really works with the routine.
Running Question
Fellow runners- I am amping up my training for the 1/2 in April and I really need to invest in a training device to help me track my heartrate, mileage, pace, etc. since sometimes I want to veer off of my Map My Run course but then I have no idea how far I went/time/etc.
I was originally leaning toward the Garmin FR60 but then I stumbled upon the Nike Plus system with Apple, which sounds enticing...
Last night I did my taxes all by myself.
I am very proud.
Ed Goes Blonde
Ed: Yep, just had a protein shake (*smiles proudly, shaking Nalgene bottle*)
Me: Gew, is that Nalgene BPA-free?
Ed: Wait... isn't it CPA? (looks at me all snotty and such)
Me: (Mouth drops open in disbelief)
Ed: Oh, oops! No, there are no accountants in my water bottle!
Famous Director Kevin Smith pulled from Flight for... →
Personally, I think that this is outrageous- of Director Kevin Smith, NOT Southwest Airlines.
Kev- you are fat. You admit that your size is a CHOICE, that you have MADE, even openly discussing that you know you can drop the weight if you want to. Which is fine! That’s your choice!
But!
You are so large, that your size is inconveniencing other passengers and making their flight unsafe in...

Snooks goes to dinner
Chris: I'm leaving at 4:45
Me: Ok
Chris: So I'll see you there, Spaulding
Chris: (orange like the basketball)
Operation SMDH (Save My Designer Handbag)
So I know by now that many of the bloggers I read on Tumblr work/live/play in the fashion arena. I NEED YOUR HELP!
A few years ago, I bought a gorgeous Gryson bag (larger version of this) on Gilt.com for $76 (obviously before it was cool since I’ve seen the same bag relisted recently for well over 200 bones). Insane! It’s navy blue with white leather trim and luscious suede lining and...
“I just talked to Isaac on the phone and he is so excited – so far he has 11...”
– An update on Isaac’s Valentines from Aunt Diane. Look how HAPPY you all made this little 1st grader! Thank you so much!
If you haven’t sent one yet and you would like to participate, there’s still time! Email me for info.
Daily Chris (can't help myself)
Chris: I say this- leave, go home, pack a little bag, and come stay here!
Chris: My dad's home, they let him out. He's making soup.
Chris: I don't want to go to your house, there isn't enough to entertain me.
Me: Alright alright fine
Chris: I mean we could hang, and then if you got annoying you could talk about knitting and lamps with my mom.
Me: Ok, thanks
Me: I will bring some of my healthy food so it doesn't go to waste. Taco salad and yogurt for dessert mmmmmm.
Chris: Make me some of that yogurt and Cool Whip thing that you made for me (*note* I did NOT make this for him. I made it for ME and he ripped it from my hands and nomnomnomed the whole thing)
Me: I only have banana yogurt, I think it's the bomb.com, do you like that kind?
Chris: BARF nevermind.
Snookin' for Love in Connecticut →
Ya’ll are jealous that I could potentially run into Snooks and her hunny at the local Starbucks these days, aren’t you?
The Daily Chris (Nor'easter Edition)
Chris: If Carnes has a snow day tomorrow, we're going sledding.
Chris: He texted me already.
Me: Your sled is in my trunk.
Chris: Nah, Carnes has tubes.
Me: Oh. My B.
Chris: I know, I am nine years old.
Me: I miiiiiiightttt have a snow day. Depends.
Chris: I doubt this will even turn into anything.
Chris: WINTER STORM BARBARA
Chris: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: You're kidding, that's what they're calling it?
Chris: So it's going to be like 64, smoke, and have a raspy froggy voice?
It's almost here! →
Annoying
You know what I think is REALLY annoying? When people that I know in the slightest way possible (what? you went to UConn within the last 10 years?! me too!) think it’s a great idea to use their college Facebook friends as their new “business contact list.”
I do not know you. Therefore, I do not want to be included on your “financial advisor” email list, complete with...
Friday!

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY FUNDAY!
Happy weekend!
Superbowl 2010
Chris: Yo shorty, who do you have for the super bowl?
Me: What do you mean?
Chris: Are you serious?!!
Me: I didn't buy squares or anything...?
Chris: Who do you have, normal human being sports talk for WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN
Me: Oh! The Saints! Reggieeeee! I love Kim Kardashian
Chris: I'm embarrassed for you.
Me: :-D
Chris: If you are going to watch the game on Sunday you need to practice some football sayings.
Me: Ok, like what?
Chris: I'm not expecting you to want to BE a football player, that would be gross and scary, but I'm expecting you to know simple basic stuff like what a first down is and how many points a field goal is.
Me: hmmm that's a lot to learn in two days.
Chris: You can't just watch the Superbowl for snacks and commercials!
Me: Why not?
Chris: I'll send you texts to teach you.
Me: During the game?
Chris: If it has to come to that, yes.
Yoga
Me: I feel like doing yoga.
Roommate: Do it- they have yoga on fit TV.
Me: Really I just want to use my new mat.
Roommate: You can do yoga while I eat chocolate cake.
Me: You can be my teacher. Softly molding my form, coddling the student. Ommmmmm.
Roommate: Neg.
Roommate: I will sit on the couch with cake and ice cream. And ommmm that.
Me: Muahahah. That's equally as calming.
Happy Valentine's Day, Isaac!
jaclynday:
So, Meg had this adorable request on her blog and I couldn’t help but offer my work’s DC postal code to help out!
First-grader Isaac is trying to get as many Valentines as he can from all the different states, so e-mail Meg and offer up your state too!
Here’s what I “made”:
The inside says:
Isaac:
Happy Valentine’s Day all the way from Washington, DC! It is very snowy here...
