When I Grow Up

December 4, 2009 · 1 Comment

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a vet, a teacher, a nurse, a lawyer, a midwife, a costume designer, a professor and an event planner.

Instead I’ve been a publicist, a librarian and recently a yoga teacher.

Since I stumbled on librarianship accidentally, this awesome flowchart from LISNews had me cracking up.

If you are a librarian or you  know one, go check it out here.

The “F” Word

Since getting engaged in April, I’ve struggled with the word “fiance”.  It sounds so silly … something to be said in a faux-snobby accent.  “Fee-awn-say.”  It’s been a running gag to find other words to call myself or Ed.  So far there’s been “soon to be hubby”, “that guy I’m marrying” (yeah, that ones real cool), my “betrothed”, my “boyfriend” (looking at you Lisa B!), and generally refering to us as “affianced”.

But now, thanks to Cheap, Healthy, Good, I’ve found the perfect term.

Let me introduce you to the Husband-Elect!

He’s a great guy and even finds this whole process mildly amusing (thank goodness!)

Love you a ton, Husband-Elect!

Black Dagger Brotherhood Madlibs!

August 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Thank goodness for the Smart Bitches and Doc Turtle.  Who else can dole out the brilliant snark and make me snarf my morning drink?!

If you’re not familiar with Dark Lover, book one in the Black Dagger Brotherhood  you probably also haven’t heard of Twilight.  I’m half tempted to tell you to go back into your cave, but the BDB is just too damn fun and cracktastic.

Once you’ve caught up on the BDB here, here, here, here, here, and here, now you’re ready to play MADLIBS!

If you play, post your results in the comments.  I’d love to see what you all come up with!

Here’s my first round of hilariousness:

Wrath opened the door to the sound of celtic rock.  Tohr and Rhage were listening to Enter the Haggis again.  ‘What is this shit?’ Wrath demanded.

‘Shizzle, my brother, it’s just Enter the Haggis’s new album, Sexy Chair.’

Just then Fritz came in.  With a tray laden with greasy Lubriderm pens.

‘Damn, Fritz!’ cried Rhage.  ‘These are fucking hot!’

Vishous came in, dagger drawn.  ‘The lessers are back.  I caught Mr. X shooting a civilian vampire.  With a starfish.’

‘Time to play. Dubiously.’ said Wrath.

‘Whatever,’ said Rhage.  ‘I don’t care as long as I get to nom some pink bunnies.’

Deep Breaths

March 27, 2009 · 1 Comment

It’s been one of “those” weeks.  You know “those” weeks?  The ones where you just can’t seem to catch your breath, are perpetually tired, and by Friday you look at your desk in the office, your desk at home, the kitchen, and your bed and wonder which hurricane could possible have hit all these places at once.

Yeah.  One of “those” weeks.

Which is why this image has become a Friday staple for taking the edge off:
