“I actually feel quite self-indulgent at the moment, telling you all about me,...”
– Quote from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It reminded me of people with blogs, myself included ;-) P.S. Cannot put this book down. So good.
“I’ll tell you the combination: 8-7-69, my mother’s birthday.”
– OMFG!!! I am older than Chuck Bass’ mom. (via holleewoodworld)
Hollee’s blog rocks. It also reminds me of this: I was in line at Juicy behind someone who was born in 1990. How is someone born in 1990 allowed out of the house onto Fifth Avenue without parental supervision. Oh fuck. Because...
From a friend of mine who is not American
Redacted: Funny story from last night
Redacted: A girls sees the time on my iphone is 22.00
Redacted: She says to me oh my god, you keep your phone on military time
Redacted: So I said ‘or as its known everywhere else in the world “time”
Redacted: No one got it
I get it!! Berry and I had a ‘military’ time incident at Circuit City when we first moved here. We...
“If you don’t do it all at the same time it looks SHIT! Remember, we are...”
– My rebounding instructor making us do these hard jumping things.
Wine is not your friend
[Redacted]: No drinking for you yesterday?
Me: I had two glasses of wine.
[Redacted]: I had two bottles of wine.
Me: How do you feel today?
[Redacted]: I’m too scared to sit up and take a reading.
John’s Dad called to tell him he looked fat in this photo. It’s true - he does look a little bit like a chipmunk who is storing some food away for the Winter in those cheeks! I don’t know why because he really does not look like this in real life.
Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans
John's Dad sent this to me and I cried laughing.

Blaming your farts on me.....

Yelling at me for barking.

Taking me for a walk, then
not letting me check stuff out.
Exactly whose walk is...
Thanks
I’ve just come back from a really nice dinner with my friend Cindy and I am feeling so grateful for the wonderful friends I have made over the last 2 years in New York. I definitely have something to gives thanks for tomorrow :-).
We went to South Africa (Xai Xai) for pre-dinner drinks and then to Paris (Chez Napoléon) for dinner. I love New York!
Just for you Miss Georgina! →
Jenelle’s Mum is a brilliant to the power of 10. (Click on the link above). We should definitely make fairy bread with those hundreds and thousands!!

Cheer Up Tumblr
I’m right behind you in the charge :-)) It’s Thanksgiving tomorrow which may well be my new favorite holiday so I’m happy-happy-joy-joy now! I’m so excited I even took the U out of the word favorite.

Okay, the “whoa is me” theme on my dasboard is getting a little out of hand.
G is “so-sad-today-I-am-barely-able-to-function,” Julie911 can’t sleep,...
Yay - my charity of choice, Puppies Behind Bars, featured in a Bloomberg article.
I love that they are now focusing all their energy on training the dogs for returned war veterans. I was never in favour of the war in Iraq but I most definitely am in favour of supporting our troops, especially those who come home disabled.
P.S. If you do want to buy stuff then at least you can totally justify it. You’re doing your bit to save the economy. High five!
Is everyone else getting hammered with emails from retailers telling them about sale after sale after sale? And is everyone doing the same as me? Deleting without even reading them.
I can think of very few occupations that are completely safe from the fantastic fuckup that is our current economy. I, for one, have been making a concerted effort to cut back my spending. Just in case. I know...
Book Club food
I’m looking for inspiration for food for our Book Club meeting party in December. The Betty Crocker website actually has suggestions specifically for a Book Club Dinner Party.
I know it’s only November but I’m chanelling Martha Stewart’s skills and getting organized early.
WatchMelissa sent me an email a couple of weeks ago telling me she had tried out a Tim Tam Slam and even videoed it. My favourite part is at 3mins 14secs where Melissa is literally speechless after eating the melted Tim Tam. She eventually manages to say that it is the best thing she’s ever had. Truer words were never spoken.
I must be bribed to go to hardware stores
John: Want to come to the hardware store with me to buy a saw?
Me: No.
John: We can go on the scooter.
Me: No.
John: Please?
Me: OK, but only if you buy me a present……..and a saw is not considered a present.
