How Beautiful is Your Commute Home?

Thank you commuter rail.

Like Babies?

I don't know about all babies but I'm a big fan of my new nephew Noah:

So tiny!!

The proud Big Brother (still prefers the solo photo shoots though)

Need a laugh?

Cheers to Helen for sending me this little gem.

Watch out Hipsters!

Granted it's a little off color and I only looked at the first couple of posts, but it's Friday. Get over it.

Forcing it or renewed self-motivation?

Ok. It's been more than 5 months since my last post. I accept the fact that this is too long. The question then becomes: Is it too late to pick it back up? Has the spell been broken between me and my once fresh and snappy blog? Have I turned my back on my former outlet for snarky thoughts and observations? This already isn't funny. Sorry.

Inspired by Jessie's recent foray into blogging and the fact that this blog has lasted longer than most..er all of my adult relationships, I'm giving it another go.

Just putting it out there. I'll follow up with something that's actually entertaining later. Until then, enjoy the new color scheme.

What's the recipe for a successful New Year's Eve?

1. Spend most of December telling people that you don't care about New Year's and are sure that you'll end up doing something fun.

2. String along your friend Jenn for a couple weeks telling her that you think her idea of attending a Great Gatsby themed party at a boutique hotel is great but you need to hear back from your other friends before you commit.

3. 1 week before, realize that you have nothing else going on and it's time to hone in on a plan.

4. At the same time, get really excited about finding a 1920s outfit.

5. Realize that you only have 2 days (after work) to find said outfit.

6. Invite your childhood friends who now live on the West Coast to come over and watch you get ready. I promise it won't be awkward at all. Even after Pam tells you that your shirt doesn't fit. It's cool.


7. Have a couple glasses of champagne and pose for the camera.


8. Attend party and have a wicked time.





9. Commence drunken aggressive hugging phase.


10. Get lost behind your own hair.



11. Wake up the next day with all of your makeup on your pillowcase wondering how you got home.

Have you laughed hysterically today?

If not, here you go. You're welcome.

The Best Thing I've Seen In A While

P.S. Yes, I know that I'm being lazy by just posting links to other people's blogs. I'm working on it.

What Are Your Resolutions?

Personally, I prefer not to set myself up for a year of failure right out of the gate. However, in honor of the new year and all of those pesky resolutions everyone is going to come up with but never fufill, here are some websites to help you in your quest for self-improvement.

WARNING: That resolution to be more productive at work is about to go right out the window.

Resolution #1: Finally do something about that million dollar idea before someone else beats you to it.

The snarkiness on this blog is outstanding.

Thanks to Jeb and Helen for keeping me informed on the latest websites that are immune to the company firewall. Happy New Year!
