  1. It’s true… I can find my own book ideas, and then fund my book shopping with the money garnered from the sale of my O-car.

  2. that is a freaking rad post. You’re the weirdest and funniest girl I know. And live with. And LOVE. :)

  3. You? Are the Queen of lists. I bow to you.

    Also. I believe that Carnations are the black licorice of the flower kingdom. (I don’t like black licorice.)

  4. I believe you need more garlic if you’re crying or depressed.

    I believe there is a significantly large group of people that wish Oprah would just go away.

    I believe I will be quoting you on my blog sometime soon.

  5. I believe you should write a book titled, “I’m Just A Girl” and subtitled, “who has a way with words”. Something along the lines of Erma Bombeck, except not. Because you’re young and funny and Canadian.

  6. Can I come over and brush your hair? No? Well, can I give you a Zima?

    Am now going to slit wrists over my blog. But not before I delete all the crap posts. ;-)

  7. Rock On! Your belief of how civilization started will forever be imprinted on my noggin. That us the funniest damn thing I’ve ever heard.
    You’re a trip and I mean that in a very good way.

  8. I believe that carnations CAN be delightful flowers and should not be maligned so vehemently by folks who obviously take the gift of flowers for granted – or so it would seem. And Chris,I enjoyed your comment about humming. Humming can be a lovely sound when “done” by persons who are on some level content with the task at hand or life in the moment or don’t know the words but are caught by a sentiment or tune somewhere in the back of their mind,- so – sometimes carnations are just right. There’s something good about a flower that a child can imitate with some Kleenex and a pipe cleaner and present proudly to someone they thought of when they created it.

  9. “I believe mall kiosks are actually holes in the time-space continuum.”

    THANK YOU for putting your finger on something that has bothered me for a long time.

  10. meg, this is quintessentially and fantastically you as a writer. i love it.
    as for The Carnation Question, i think they are beautiful only when tossed onto a candlelight-filled dance floor at a traditional greek wedding, for the bride and groom to kick up into the air as they dance for each other. seriously beautiful.
    less beautiful later, however, when they’re a mushy pulp that sullies the lower edges of the bride’s dress.

  11. Brilliantly hilarious.

    How’s that for a soundbite?
    You can put that on the cover of your… whatever you want to cover, I guess.

    “‘Brilliantly hilarious’ -The Reluctant Housewife”

  12. I believe it’s time for me to come out of the lurking woodwork and comment because this post is amazing! Interesting theory about mall kiosks….

  13. Shallots – is that because of the poem?

    Carnations – I am not a stupid man, but I have no idea what connection they have with my wife and a parade float.
