And this is why we've been friends since the age...
Me: When I live near you, can we put on music and dance around my house for no reason? Like when everyone is home alone and dances around, just together.
Kally: I would be really pissed if that didn't happen.
I SELL SOUP.
Delicious soup.
Bad Vibes

The Conservative Political Action Conference is being held within yards from my work place today.
I’m pretty much sick to my stomach at the thought of being so close to all that yuck.
My little crunchy granola, hippiest-hippy-of-all-the-hippies mom once accidentally visited NYC the weekend of the Republican National Convention, and she accidentally stayed in the hotel across the...

I'm callin' it.: TWEETUMBLUP IN TORONTO! Saturday,... →
do-over:
Imma plan a shower for the wee Fuiru. And maybe a trip to Niagara Falls. So. You should come.
torontup:
Come to Toronto! See Toronto stuff! Meet Toronto people! Drink Toronto drinks! Stare at Canadians! They probably won’t have a gun. If you’re already from Toronto or Canada, some of this…
I will also be there. So.
Totally got in the fight.
The thing I can’t get my fundamental christian cousin to understand, the real crux of my argument is:
Not everyone is a Christian, and that’s totally ok.
It is not better to be Christian than it is to be Muslim, or Jewish, or Atheist. It’s just different.
UGH.
Friend posts bigoted video on Facebook claiming close-minded, right wing tripe about the dangers of Muslims in America.
Fundamental Christian cousin comments on the post, agreeing that tolerance in this matter is inadvisable and dangerous.
I comment, “Because Christianity is better? Give me a break.”
I realize I just picked a fight.
I immediately research every Christian terrorist...

how many people would be vigorously nodding their heads in agreement if the government declared that all Jewish institutions/schools had to serve pork and would say it’s not a big deal because “a lot of them eat pork anyway.”
We need to disentangle insurance from employment….
1. No one is forced to work for or attend a religious school or organization.

We need to disentangle insurance from employment. We need to get back to thinking of it as a safety net for catastrophic things, not for free doctor visits...
christaland asked: TATTOOS OF PUPPIES IN RUNNING SHOES! BAM!

ashamedtosay replied to your post:I will probably never run 26.2 miles in a row.
Please stand at mile 15. Mile 15 sucks. You still have 11 miles to go, at mile 16 you have less than 10. Between 13 and 15, your brain goes to work and it is hard mental work - you at mile 15 would be something to run towards.
I can’t even wrap my head around having run 15 miles or having to run 11 more.

Chicago Marathon Things I Think the Internet...
Make a tumblr specifically for this event where we post our training progress and where we can direct donors and potential donors to see how training is going.
Marathon-themed tweet up the night before for runners and cheerleaders, including lots of carby foods!
Tee shirts. Everything is better with tee shirts.
TATTOOS! Maybe just me on that one.
Share our training tips, diets, recipes, and...

I love that tumblr is taking over the Chicago...
I dreamed last night that I got a puppy.
I picked him from the puppy tree and I named him Barlow.
So that’s going to need to happen.
In the event that you are interested, I have...

There are more than the usual amount of opinions...
There are opinions about the opinions.
He loves football.
He’d drive 3 hours to visit me for the weekend and spend all of Sunday in front of the TV, drinking beer and yelling. I sat in my room and played on the computer or read books. I don’t think he would have noticed if I had left.
Why bother driving all that way? Was he in it for the big tv? Why didn’t I get a say in how we spent our weekends?
I know I give those bad memories too...
I bought myself a celebratory Super Bowl Avoidance hat and I’m hiding out in a coffee shop with no tvs. I hate football in a totally irrational way and this makes Boston a bad place for me to be today.

Things I Did At Work Today:
The oatmeal bar. If this ever goes away, I’m quitting. I swear.
Registered for the Chicago Marathon. NBD.
Build-A-Baked-Potato in the employee cafeteria! I make mine with pulled pork and lots of pepper.
This dance. Kind of a lot, actually.
A critical comparative analysis of jelly bean flavors: tangerine vs. orange, buttered popcorn vs. caramel corn, bubble gum vs. tutti frutti.
So I...

Legitimate Business Plan:
Get myself a weimaraner puppy.
Take William Wegman-style photos of said puppy.
Sell photos.
Live happily ever after.
It could work!
You think you know a person.
You think that in a friendship spanning from kindergarten through college, there are few mysteries. You think that once you know about his irrational fear of toothbrushes and his embarrassing and inexplicable lust for Shania Twain, there’s not much that can shock you about him.
And then he starts spewing closed minded political tripe by way of facebook statuses, and it’s sort of...

Truthful Tuesday
My eyes were swollen almost shut when I woke up this morning. Either I’m allergic to something new, or I have started sleepwalking into walls. 50/50 shot at either of those being true.
There are five feather boas sitting behind me in my cube for the feather duster costume I’m making for my coworker’s daughter. I love feather boas, and I want to wrap all five of them around my...
My neck muscles are uncomfortably tense. It feels like I could pluck them like guitar strings. I’ve tried ibuprofen, Icy Hot, stretching, and sternly worded rebukes, but my chin is still drawn involuntarily down to my sternum. The point where my neck connects to my chest muscles is sore. I would like to get some sleep, but it’s surprisingly hard to breathe in this position.
DUMBEST....

Just because someone does not “have a family” does not mean his/her time is less valuable.
