if vacation was a boy, I’d let it get to second base. Maybe even round third.

Someday
… I am going to make it through airport security without my bra setting off the metal detector. Its a new life goal.
I won the inaugural ticket lottery! WooWoo!!

So jealous that I might have to stop following you for a little while.
Dear airline carriers,
The media loves their holiday filler stories and this year it’s all about you: Everyone is stranded! Christmas in an airport! How is Santa going to deliver presents to terminal b, gate 27? It’s like that Full House episode when they are going to Nebraska and get stuck at the airport and the old man turns out to be Santa! Only, in reality there is no Santa, just cranky fellow...
Getting ready to go...
My flight takes off at 10 p.m. My mother, worried sick about traveling, made me promise that I’d get to the airport by 5 p.m. In order to stave off the boredom that comes from being in an airport for 5 hours, I am bringing the following movies:
Love Actually
Little Women
White Christmas
So, if you’re in SFO and want to find me, I’ll be the girl bawling her eyes out over sappy...
I think there's hope for the Duggars
I watched the special tonight. You know the one where Michelle’s uterus propels baby 18 into the world. This would have been totally unbearable if it weren’t for Jinger (yes, Jinger not Ginger) Duggar. The entire episode Jinger has a look of disgust on her face. As if she looks at the bullshit around her and is pleading with America to get her out of the situation.
I am officially...
I feel loved
I signed out of facebook at 7:30 When I signed back in at 8:30 I had 48 new notifications. 48. Um, maybe that’s why I’m single…
On why I might be single...
Status update: Michael is watching season 4 disc 4
Joy: Ooooh! The West Wing! The Long Goodbye is a really good one, although quite sad. Part 2 of the Inauguration is also really good. Though, when they all go to CA in the next episode I always laugh. Jesus, I’m a freak.
Alex: All episodes after the election in Season 4 (when Rob Lowe and Aaron Sorkin left) are not, in my mind part of the...

Merry Christmas, health care consumers!
The Department of Health and Human Services issued a rule today that allows health care workers to deny patients vital care, information and services without the patient even knowing.
The rule will take effect in 30 days, and will be difficult to reverse.
Unfortunately, this regulation is not just another crazy Bush regulation that New Yorkers, thanks to...
I'm going shopping (for me) during lunch
With great suggestions thanks to UnicornFanDance, MeredithNYC, ThePoliticalPartyGirl, CarolineK and UrbanRedNeck
Forget every rule of good parenting. Sometimes, you need to let your kid cry to learn a lesson. Here’s the problem: we don’t need to learn that lesson, too. Do what it takes to keep your kid under control. If that means coloring books, candy or … dare I say it … active parenting, do it. Do what it takes. Your round trip involves two days of your kid’s childhood....

“Rule #1 If you see someone who looks like he travels regularly, do what he does. If he takes his license out of his wallet before reaching the security line, you should too. Did he just remove his laptop from his bag? Guess what … you’ll probably want to take yours from your bag. You can’t go wrong by copying someone who’s obviously smarter than you are.”

I *really* want a simple tunic/sweater dress (preferably long sleeved) that I can wear with grey or black tights and brown boots. Suggestions? Something until $50 would be ideal…

Joy: do you have a sec for a question?
erica: yes, of course
Joy: okay so I was thinking about this on my way to work: do eyeballs grow?
erica: what?
Joy: Like, I can see how ears and tongues and things grow, but I cant really imagine an eyeball growing
erica: hahahahaha
Joy: so are the eyeballs you’re born with the same size as your adult eyeballs?
erica: are you high right now?
Joy: THIS IS A...

Let’s talk about the last 21 hours of my life, shall we? Actually, let’s read the timeline. This begins last night at 6pm, when I attempted to fly home for the holidays. I was scheduled on a non-stop JFK-IAH (Houston-Intercontinental). I’ve recorded my experiences for the record, my amusement, my impending letter to the CEO of Delta, and so that others may be...
Joy: Isnt she Jewish?
Mom: No
Dad: Yes
Mom: No, she’s not
Dad: She seems Jewish
Mom: You’re confusing ‘being Jewish’ with ‘being from New York’
Dad: Same thing. name one New Yorker we know that isnt Jewish.
Mom: …
Dad: Exactly.

How appalling and truly shameful that rather than standing with all 27 European Union members, as well as Japan, Australia, Mexico and three dozen other countries, the United States opposed the UN declaration denouncing the criminalization of homosexuality, which in some countries, includes torture and the death penalty.
They couldn’t have waited a...
on being a huge nerd
I’ve decided that, starting this afternoon, all of my facebook status updates are going to be lyrics from Holiday songs. This will continue until December 26th. Consider this a warning.

Can we discuss that Britney’s ex is dating a new girl he met on his bowling team? Seriously Brit, you were married to a man who is on a bowling team? Awesome…
Wait, how is Kfed dating someone when it was just announced that he’s moving back in with Britney?!? ACK DRAMA
lamb:
“Age 30 is not a magical turning point, however. Openness declines gradually over many years, often beginning in the 20s. As the years wear on, novelty becomes less and less stimulating, and the world outside someone’s own private and professional sanctums becomes increasingly less attractive.”

Everything I do lately is a reblog. I am sorry for that.
Sometimes I feel weird reblogging things from people I don’t know or only know from the internet. I feel less weird reblogging everything from SisterMaryMartha and AMegnifiedLife because I met them once this summer and we drank a lot together. But with Joy, Meredith and Erica, even though I don’t know them for...
The Duggars welcomed baby #18 today. 18 kids. Wow. Someone needs to open a Planned Parenthood on that family’s street
Dear Aaron Rose
Dear Aaron: It was good while it lasted … OK, maybe not.
You did arrive bearing full potential — what girl wouldn’t swoon at some clever art installation that she didn’t understand, or melt at the fact you remembered her out of all the other pretty, rich girls at Camp Suisse? Even when you took off with another girl on your motorcycle (nice touch, tough guy *wink, wink*), I...
