I really like saying the phrase "in this economy..." Start any sentence with that, and whatever you say after is bound to sound smart.
I'll Only Answer to "Go-Go" From This Moment On
A coworker has given me the nickname "Go-Go." Jeez, you wear a pair of white, knee-high boots to work once...Okay, it was twice.
It Must Be Spring
Everywhere I look, I see flowers and puppies and people dining al fresco and boys riding bicycles. What could be better?
I Am the Girl Who Can't Walk in Her Shoes
I think I'm in an abusive relationship with my shoes. (What is love/ Baby don't hurt me/ Don't hurt me/ no more).
They are so cute but I'm always hobbling around in them, every step with visible effort and accompanying grimace, and I'm sure that is so not cute.
And every single time, I go to the store, pick out a pair of 3-inch heels, walk back and forth in them in the aisle for 30 seconds and go up to pay, thinking, "This time, things will be different."
Mild Curses, Volume 11
- May the person sitting next to you on the Metro attempt to climb over you to get out at the stop, when dude, if you would just wait one moment, you would see that this is also my stop, sheesh.
- May you always be one quarter shy of the $1.25 soda at the vending machine.
- May you catch yourself jamming out to the soundtrack at CVS and then be forced to reevaluate your musical taste.
Weekend in Review
I volunteered on Saturday with Little Lights, an Christian ministry for kids in D.C. Volunteers get to hang out with kids, eat lunch, play video games and work on a craft, and Saturday's craft was making dresses and superhero costumes out of newspaper. So I modeled a kicky party dress made out of New York Times and Washington Posts, a little one-shouldered number. One of the little girls I was helping tape together a newspaper dress just would not talk to me. Her friend told me, "She doesn't like you and is going to ignore you because you ask too many questions." Yikes! I just wanted to know what her favorite color was...
Then I went directly to a luncheon at my friend Erin's house, only to arrive and discover that I had newsprint all over my face and clothes, and was still wearing a nametag that said "Miss Adele." Later Erin's cat escaped and I tried to chase it under the porch and got dirt all over. It was a hard day for my sweater.
