Toolbag Wednesday: 2009 Recap

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

After the snarkfest that was my earlier post this week (thank you Internets for the healthy debate), I’ve decided rather than add to it, I’ll leave you instead with a recap of the Toolbaggery of 2009. Note: Toolbag Wednesdays 1-16 (circa 2008) can be found under “toolbaggery” and include such gems as After-the-Fact Boys, [Expletive] Blagojevich, [...]

My Ever-Lasting Bra Strap Fishing Expedition

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

It really is never ending, people. And I just don’t understand it. I go to Victoria’s Secret. I get fitted for a bra (don’t get too excited boys- no nudity or boob fondling is involved), which is generally a sad experiment because each attempt seems to yield a different result. 32B. 34A. 34B. Triumph! They’re [...]

20SB BS

Monday, January 11th, 2010

I was going to take the easy way out, send an anonymous entry into The Secret Project, but that would be the cowardly thing to do about something I feel oddly strong about. I stand by what I’m about to write, even though I already know how it’s going to come off and am certain [...]

Just Think of “Oliver”

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Last July, my boyfriend was laid off, then hired back a week later- albeit with a demotion that has taken him seven years back in his career with a major cut in pay and removal of any bonus options. I didn’t write about it at the time or since because he specifically asked me not [...]

Sick Dialing

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Boyfriend: “Hey. What’s up?” Me (snot-laden and “sick dialing” from under a blanket): “Oh nothing. I was just, you know, thinking…don’t cheat on me, okay? That would suck.” Boyfriend: “Huh? Where did that come from? Are you okay?” Me: “Yeah, I’m just feeling gross and uncute and I just watched He’s Just Not That Into You [...]

Dear 2010,

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Dear 2010, Now that we’re on a first name basis, I wanted to take this opportunity to get things started off right. Although we’ve only been acquainted these past five days, it’s been a bit of a rocky beginning. What with the bottle of Moet induced hangover on New Year’s Day, followed thereafter by the [...]

Opposites Attract? Atheist ISO Jesus-Lover

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I’ve spent the first days of 2010 stuck home in bed/ on the couch with a sinus cold, which means I’ve also spent them watching TV- a lot- and one of the commercials I keep seeing is for eHarmony’s “Free Communication Weekend.” It brought me back. A long, long time ago in a decade now [...]
