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?

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.

WebMD Strikes Again

Friday, July 17th, 2009

My friends at work and I have this little game we play. Every time one of us has a hang nail or a prolonged dry cough or painful stubbed toe, we diagnose one another on WebMD. Invariably, of course, we always end up with a blanket list of diseases: lupus, melanoma, typhoid, gout even. And, [...]
