i used to do lists ALL THE TIME but i don’t so much anymore because my bullets don’t work with my template and i am too lazy to ask so and so to pretty please fix it for me lists are my favourite. i feel lost without them and i think maybe that is why im not blogging so much? or that is ONE of the reasons, i miss my lists. anyways..i guess you can tell through stats i check to see if you linked me back every time i come here, is that wrong??? hehe
i misread “I never use coupons.”
made me nervous
There are only fourteen things in your list. Is fifteen a secret?
I can’t believe I did that. Good catch. :-)
That grooming thing – I want to do that too! I want to tell old balding hippies to cut their damn ponytails off! I want to tell Brian Engblom that the messy mullet look is way, way out and fix that flyaway action now! I want stubble boys to either shave a grow a real beard! And most of all I want to holler at teenagers to PULL UP YOUR DAMN PANTS!
My own confession – my underwear always matches my clothes in some way. I feel weird when it doesn’t. Did I reveal too much?
I will be having dinner with several men performing in shark costumes this evening in our nation’s capital. Well, my nation’s capital. My mind will be blank while I read theirs as they stare at me: “CUT YOUR HAIR or WASH YOUR FACE or TRIM YOUR NOSE AND EAR FOLIAGE or YOUR PANTS ARE BEYOND VIOLATING or I JUST SNAGGED YOUR EYEBROW ON MY SHIRT. I honestly believe most men are really attractive in some way. I have a broad concept of…â€
My hair tends to be longish for a guy my age but these days not stupid, just casual. I do the nose, ear and eyebrow thing. But the perpetual jeans would probably drive you crazy, and Meg? My sock drawer? OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE.
I love jeans, so that’s not a big deal unless they’re ugly. But white socks? So uncreative unless you wear them with sneakers. And if all you wear is sneakers? Sigh.
I heart you, Meg. You’re my favorite blogger.
I’d love to hear the shark costume story. How old were you?
when i see white sport socks with black dress shoes it reminds me of being on the bus with teenage boys in high school. even then i knew that was just wrong. maybe someone should tell them…..meg?
Just sneakers…duh. I’m insulted I have to clarify. But that’s it, unless I’m going to a serious meeting, interview, party, etc., and then I have to dig for dark.
Yeah, I don’t wear runners/sneakers anymore unless I’m going to the gym. Ditto with sweat pants. I’m by no means a fashion expert unfortunately though, and have been known to do stupid things such as show up at work with my shirt on backwards.
My first two years of university were awesome too, what I remember of them.
I usually spell “have” as “ahve” the first time ardoun (around)… see? GRRRRR
RE:
1. A pint of ice cream is a single-serving container.
4 & 7. I would like to make homemade risotto for you tomorrow. (Can I use one of your recipes?) In a fit of poor judgment, you will find this to be an irresistible offer and make a commitment to meet. You are, after all, conscious of all my shortcomings and temporarily determine them to be irrelevant.
6. Fins to the left, fins to the right, and you’re the only bait in town.
9. What’s a three-letter word for “single, klutzy, emphatic, email-addicted, hand-talker”?
10. I go back to high school every day. But only because I’m paid to be there…. I loved being in college, er — at university.
11. Five minutes for grooming? I’d have to get up even earlier than I do now! I’ll just stay unattractive, thanks. (But you can still run up to me in the street if you want.)
