Super Newser!

Alex is moving 1 block away from me. Happy days on the east side!

Just Thinkin'

- Remember when your friends in college used to have glow-in-the-dark constellation stars on their dorm room ceilings? It was all pretty cool back then. Looking back, not at all.

- "American Idol" is genius. Its initial 2-hour shows (including worst of the worst) - hook you, connect you, and keep you checking in for more.

- On the way to work today, I saw 6 people jogging on my block. You could just smell the resolutions oozing out of their pores.

- Thank goodness for C-Span. How else can I catch up with all the presidential candidates without being at Elsa Cox's farmhouse on Sunday afternoon in Perry, Iowa?

- I can't believe how much I'm learning at my new job. I actually caught myself asking a guest if the so-called "January effect" is relevant for investors who weren't eyeballing small cap stocks. Who says that??? I do.

- Meeting blind date tomorrow night for bar trivia. Hoping that a "January effect" question is nestled somewhere in there...

- My neighbor's dog hates her new boyfriend. She might want to consider the 5-minute barking fits in her deal-breakers list.

NYE 2007

This New Year's with Casey was highly explosive - marked by PBR-hoarding, Williamsburg tour, drag queens & Danger Party, and a ton of random dudes.

Who's Scoffing Now?

About a year ago, I posed the question on this very blog about a single girl establishing a registry. That's right - no marriage or baby for the reason - just a single, career-minded girl with the challenges of building a home by herself. A lot of people I'm sure read the post and rolled their eyes, some scoffed, and some responded - saying it was just poor form.

Well, I just did it a month ago - and ALL my Christmas gifts were off my registry. My mom even told me she was GLAD I posted what I wanted - so she didn't have to beleaguer herself with guesswork. Everyone wins!

Sad Irony

So, on my 31st birthday I'm sitting in a work meeting and my blackberry vibrates. I look at the email and it's an invitation to be profiled for the "Who's Who Under 30" feature for the magazine, Fast Company.

I took my fist and smashed that blackberry into little itty bitty bits.

And This?

You better...
I'm So Excited!
