1)  Pool cleaning is HARD WORK.  I know now why rich people hire poorer people to do this for them; its a massive pain in the ass.  Especially when you can’t get the pole part to connect to the sweeper the way it should, so instead of pushing around a pole, you use your hands [...]

Currently on the Ellen Show:  Audience members in kimonos, trying to eat marshmallows suspended from the ceiling, while being held back by a rubber band over their nose, connected to a wall. It’s quite a sight (though no sounds, I have it muted).   That Ellen, so charismatic.  She can get people to do anything.  I [...]

It’s not unusual to see signs about sweet corn for sale… but usually when they run out, they tend to take the sign down, not put up the equivalent of a ‘brb’ away message.

In case you live under a rock and/or have more pressing matters on your mind, this is Shark Week, also known around these parts as THE GREATEST WEEK OF THE YEAR.  You KNOW you watch it too, and if you don’t… well, that’s okay.  Enjoy American Idol, you’re cooler than I am. Is American Idol [...]

A waitress once said to me, “Honey, with your babyface, you’re going to be carded for the rest of your life.” Yesterday at my cousin’s graduation party proves this. I was getting a drink when a woman asked me if I had hung out with her daughter at all this summer.  I was confused at [...]

I’ve been really slacking in the blogging department lately.  Here’s the thing: This whole weekend didn’t go below 85 degrees and the sun didn’t stop shining between the hours of 6am and 9pm.  I feel that when the Pittsburgh region is blessed with such rare radiance and beauty, one must carpe diem this sunshine or [...]

I pass this everyday, and everyday I think of the Asian dude from SVU. Maybe that’s just me.

I saw FIVE Hummers yesterday.  I don’t think I’ve seen that many since Schwarzenegger first started driving them and they became must haves.  Must have been hibernating until gas prices dropped… a whopping 4 cents.  Now its time to drive, drive, drive!  Thanks for telling me this, Hummers of the world. How about the story [...]

So I went to my first bridal shower yesterday. I was a little nervous, because the only people I knew were my friend (the bride, obviously), her mother, and two of the bridesmaids.  It was a potentially awkward situation.  However, I was polite and sweet, and made a few acquaintances.  I’m not a girly girl, [...]

Sometimes I wish it was possible to eat watermelon all year long.  Then I think about it, and if I could, watermelon would lose the special seasonal charm that makes it watermelon.  It would be like an apple.  So I take it back.  Summer only is fine. Work has been bittersweet this past week.  I’m [...]
