Me: Did you see me during the graduation ceremony?!
Tiffi: No. There was a light shining right where the audience was. I couldn't see anybody.
Me: (Sad) Oh.... Did you hear me at least?
T: Yes.
Me: Awesome.
T: You were REALLY loud.
Me: So awesome.
T: No. Not awesome. Like embarrassingly loud.
Me: God I'm awesome!
Failing at Bar Trivia in Las Vegas....
Question: Who wrote the Book of Mormon?
Ryan: I know this! It's Trey Parker.... and... shoot... whose the other guy?
Me: I know it! I know it! It's Matt! Matt Stone!
Answer: Joseph Smith.
Ryan: Oh
Me: Hmm... they were looking for the actual author... really didn't see that one coming.
The time when foursquare almost made me throw...
Our flight to Vegas was delayed by a couple hours due to fog so we were really excited when our plane finally landed at its destination. So there we are, coasting in to the gate while I turn on my phone and use foursquare to check into the Vegas airport. And foursquare nicely provides me a listing of things nearby to me, and they all say LAX or spell out Los Angeles. I almost threw up and cried...

“[First class] used to be a better meal. Now it’s a better life.” -Dorothy on Jerry Maguire.
Hello from super high up in the skies! My seat (which is in an exit row and is therefore actually pretty roomie) is right next next to the plane’s kitchen. The kitchen which is currently heating up some delicious smelling chocolate chip cookies for the first class passengers. Now...
I’m always too lazy to go to the grocery store after work, which ends up in us ordering take out. So the other day I decided to go during my lunch hour.
Everything was going fine until I came to Neufchatel cheese on my list. I peered at the cheese section of Fairway, which is humongous, but I couldn’t find it. I did a search on the trusty IPhone and got a picture of it…

Oh co-workers...
Let me get this straight. I got to leave work at 1:30 this afternoon since I am required to be back at work at 3 AM tomorrow. So now it’s unfair that I asked my staff (that will be sleeping blissfully through the early morning work excitement tomorrow) to stay until at least 5 today. Oh boo f-ing hoo to you.

I know we’re supposed to have a respectful discourse and try to understand both sides of every argument, but when that argument involves not treating human beings as such, no. Nope. I refuse to consider it a valid opinion.
Word. I like to think I’m open minded and can see the other side on most things but here’s something you should know. If you do not...

Proudest Moment of My Professional Career
Every month we have a “birthday celebration day” where they get enough cakes to feed 100 and we celebrate all the birthdays in the office. This month a mandatory meeting got scheduled at the same time. No!!!
A meeting that couldn’t be changed because it was based on the schedule of my Boss’s Boss’s Boss.
So I got the day of the office-wide birthday celebration...
The Big Cheesy
I meant to post this right after it took place in February… I’m not sure what happened. Here’s to more timely posts in the future!
February was for overindulging in food competitions. The eating part of food competitions that is. First there was ChowdaFest during the first weekend of February. And during one of the last weekends in February it was The Big Cheesy - a food...

Problems, problems, problems...
I know this is a poor-me-I-just-won-the-lottery-and-don’t-know-where-to-start-spending-all-my-money* type of post, but this is a serious problem, people. What am I supposed to pack when I’ll be waking up Sunday morning in beautiful North Carolina and then landing in the evening in snow-possible Connecticut?
What to do, what to do…
My current outfit (I try on all my potential...
Anonymous asked: Hi there! I'm so glad you liked your Valentine's Day gift! It looks like you had an awesome time with Ryan for V-Day, too--yay! I wanted to let you know that you can expect to keep getting gifts from me until September (I'm assuming you saw the post about the early end date for TumblrBuddies this year). I'm in this for the long haul! :) I hope you're doing great and loving...
Included in the list of things to bring to NC this...
“a blow-up man doll if you have one, or any penis paraphernalia you might have lying around”
If only I was driving or checking luggage.
Meanwhile, scariest item on the list: “bathing suit”
I am not ready for bathing suit season yet!!! What are they doing to me?!
Went to the 3:45 Hunger Games Imax showing in Port Chester today.
Was crying by 3:47.
Don’t worry - that wasn’t a spoiler - that was just the trailer for Titanic.
So without giving anything away (though it looks like I was one of the few people on Tumblr that didn’t go to the midnight - Friday showing): Completely awesome. And I rarely say that about movies based on books that...
“after sitting in a packed theater for hours last night waiting for the hunger...”

Here’s hoping they all went to opening night and aren’t sharing a theater with me tomorrow.
Spending my weekend talking to a cat... y'all are...
Me: Eww eww eww. Why is there a bug in the bed. Kill it!
Spam: (stare)
Me: Are you kidding me? Kill it! It's so gross.
Spam: (stare)
Me: Fine. Just watch it then, I need a kleenex. YOU ARE NOT WATCHING IT! IT'S GETTING AWAY!
Spam: (yawn)
Me: (killing the damn bug) We all have chores to do. And your chore is to kill bugs. You are not doing your job!
Spam: (starts licking himself)
Me: How are we going to move to a warm climate someday if you can't kill one stupid bug.
Spam: (goes to sniff Sushi's butt)
Me: Charming. You are all worthless.

Did Duke Win? →
Reblogging because this had me dying of laughter.
The Final Four and the National Championship
Well, as I said, Ohio State will take it all so that’s said and done. Between Kentucky and Michigan State, I feel more people talk about Kentucky. I Just hope that’s not overrated talk.
And there you have it. The winning bracket of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
You’re welcome.
The Elite Eight
As I’ve said, not a fan of the Blue Devils, so Kentucky is the South Region Champion. Michigan State will win it for the West because I really do love their colors and their mascot. Of course, Ohio State is making it through. I keep double guessing myself with that Midwest Region. It’s just that UNC has let me down so many times before. But I think I have to go with North Carolina because 1) the...
Sweet Sixteen
Okay, where was I. This will be short and sweet. I’m just playing the numbers for South, West and East Regions, so that’ll be Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, Missouri, Syracuse, and Ohio State. Not too shabby. For the Midwest, UNC of course, but then I think I’m going with Georgetown. I love the school. I didn’t really know about Georgetown when I was applying to colleges. And I didn’t really...
Best of the rest for Round Two:
East Region: I’m just going to put it out there here and now. Ohio State is going to go all the way. Previous job sent me to Ohio for a stint, smack dab in Ohio State territory, which I wish I had known before loudly proclaiming that I was getting really into Ohio’s games because of my boss. Turns out not only is Ohio not the same thing as Ohio State, but they...
Moving right along...
And we’re on to the Second Round….
For the South Region: Kentucky will beat U Conn because Kentucky is Kentucky and as I said, the one game I saw this year was the defeat of U Conn. (I saw this game hanging out in a bar for two hours during the work day last week – I love new-new job! But before you groan at me saying this again – it helps to say this to myself as the last couple of...
I promised you there was more greatness to come...
Round One Continued: Same plans and reasons apply for the top three seeded schools.
The East Region: I was going to go with Southern Miss because I thought they were the big-deal school in The Blind Side, but then I realized that was Ole Miss. But since I had already penciled them in and I am too lazy to find an eraser, I’ll stick with them.
Picking Vanderbilt or Harvard is a tough one. Either...
It's that time again...
March madness is upon us. Yes, it’s that time when the so-called experts of the NCAA world put forth their predictions and wait for the accolades and bragging rights to come their way. For the Average Joe it may mean reviewing stats after stats of the regular season, post season, and historical trends (how many seed 3’s have been eliminated in the first round and so on). Or it may mean...
Why I'll never be able to use Skype or FaceTime...
I don’t think it’s good for people to watch me talk to them. For example, this morning I was dispensing relationship advice over the phone while getting ready for work. I was doing such a good job at it that I would often put down the makeup brush, point at myself in the mirror and mouth, “you are awesome, you rock, they should call you the relationship whisperer, you are just so...
