http://myownplanet.blogspot.com/2004/01/very-bad-start-to-year-they-say-how.html
Friday, January 02, 2004. Very bad start to the year. They say how you spend New Year's Eve is an indication of how the rest of your year will go. (And by "they," I mean some character on the last episode of The O.C. I spent my New Year's Eve eating too much spinach dip and drinking too much wine and then throwing up in my friend Terri's sink, thereby breaking my 11-year no-vomiting streak. Not a good sign. So, to recap:. December 24, 2003: Set hair on fire. December 31, 2003: Threw up (partially in hair).

Friday, November 20, 2009. Chillin' with the Obamas. In the last year or so, the Obamas and I have developed quite the after-hours friendship. By "after hours," I mean roughly the hours between midnight and 7:30 am, during which I am alseep. (As are the Obamas, it appears, given that the lights at the White House were off when I drove by at midnight the other night.). Ever since I was given the task of packing up their family photos.

Wednesday, January 02, 2008. Baby had a bad, bad year. So remember back at the beginning of 2006, when I asked that Magic 8-Ball if it was going to be a good year, and it insisted that it wasn't? And then 2006 ended up being sort of awesome anyway? Yeah, apparently that 8-Ball was just off by a year, as I can now say with some certainty that 2007 was one of the worst years in recent memory. I and everyone around me seemed to be so plagued by death. Posted by Clare @ 2:18 PM. Subscribe to Posts [ Atom.

Tuesday, August 07, 2007. Not to get anyone's hopes up (least of all mine), but I think I may have found The One. You know, the perfect lip gloss. For lip-gloss junkies such as myself, this is a seemingly endless quest for the ideal combination of texture, color and flavor that can only be likened to the search for the Holy Grail. Once I tried it out, I was ecstatic to see that the claim of a sheer, normal-looking color was actually true! Posted by Clare @ 1:17 PM. Subscribe to Posts [ Atom.

Friday, December 18, 2009. Nice try, but no. Much excitement about throw pillows, and I say that as a person who really likes throw pillows. So what kind of gifts do. Inspire such an ecstatic reaction? Try the water bottle Holly gave me the other night, which she had custom-printed with my roller derby name and my team logo. I actually screamed with glee and. Hugged her after I pulled it out of the box. Take that, Crate and Barrel. Posted by Clare @ 4:45 PM. Subscribe to Posts [ Atom.

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Top 10 Years of the Decade. First things first: I must confess that I totally stole this idea from Dave. When he told me that he was planning to do a list of his top 10 years of the decade, I laughed and said, "But aren't there only 10 to choose from? He looked at me pointedly until I finally got the point- that it's all about ranking the years from best to worst. Once I figured that out, I was sold. So here we go:. As I've mentioned here before. For me, 2001 will always be ...

Monday, January 08, 2007. And I am telling you.the story of how I almost. Became the next great singing sensation to grace gate A7 at the Baltimore Washington International Airport. On Friday night, I was waiting in line for the last Southwest flight of the evening to Columbus, Ohio. Perhaps because the airport was so deserted (walking into the terminal and seeing only one person in the line. But deep down, I knew this wasn't true. The truth is, I chickened out. And it's all Francesca's.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Yesterday, Dave and I joined 1.8 million of our closest friends on the National Mall to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama. (And by "witness," I mean "watch the exact same footage the rest of you did, only on a Jumbotron while standing in the freezing cold, but occasionally catching glimpses of the Capitol building way off in the distance to remind ourselves that everything we were watching was happening right over there. Barack Obama knows my name! Unfortunately, I soo...

Monday, April 03, 2006. Jumping on the Carrie Bradshaw bandwagon. At the end of last week, through no apparent act of coordination on the part of their authors, three of the blogs I read regularly mentioned Carrie Bradshaw. And so I decided that, better late than never, it was time for me to mention Carrie Bradshaw, too. For a long time, I didn't realize what was going on. I thought my hatred might have been brought on by the bad puns. The relentless high-pitched screaming. It's not possible, I tell you!
