Who has it, who needs it, and how to get more of it. Sunday, January 6, 2013. Seeking Mr. Right-there-jumping-out-of-that-plane. There's no end to what I could write about my experiences on Match.com, and I've only been on the site for a week. (My favorite is probably the guy whose opening line was, "Hey baby u r cute n sexy, come cuddle w me by my fireplace." Sounds great, what's the address? But there is one issue in particular I'd like to take up. And they work out 5 times a week. And with what money?

http://www.madstreetcred.com/2011/02/no-mom-our-house-is-not-grand-central.html
Who has it, who needs it, and how to get more of it. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. No mom, our house is NOT Grand Central Station. Of course that also meant people frequently showed up at my door and called on the phone. By about the second phone call/doorbell ring in, my mother would start saying:. What is this, Grand Central Station? And somehow, this phrase took on a life of its own. "What is this, Grand Central Station? Playing slip-and-slide and tracking in a few blades of grass? A person who sells pins.

mad street cred: My Netflix Nemesis
http://www.madstreetcred.com/2011/03/my-netflix-nemesis.html
Who has it, who needs it, and how to get more of it. Friday, March 25, 2011. I'll say it: I think my Netflix account has been taken over by a ruthless, vengeful android. I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. I think to myself. What an idiot. Netflix wastes no time in using my moment of weakness against me. My account fills before my eyes with only the most depressing, horrific movies. Romantic comedy? Ha "Our best guess for Lisa: 2/5 stars based on your previous ratings," Netflix taunts. Comedy?

Who has it, who needs it, and how to get more of it. Monday, January 3, 2011. I'll say it. I hate New Year's Resolutions. Mostly because, let's be honest, I either forget about them after about a month (.a week) or am just such a complete failure at them that it just destroys my already tenuous self-esteem. And so I submit to you my New Year's Anti-Resolutions:. 2 Cancel gym membership. Why even pretend, you know? Zero) Not this year baby. Bring on the cheesecake. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Who has it, who needs it, and how to get more of it. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. I went to the store like a good little human and bought some new floss and some better mouthwash.

Stupid Amy Grant.) I...

On the phone last night about being single and having soon-to-be-dried-up ovaries. She asked me if I've been reading articles online again. (Yep. How'd she know? Psychic mothers.) And she said something that actually made me feel so much better. She reminded me that my grandparents got married at age 30. After that, the sixth one when they were just turning 40. Really ...
