“What?????!!!! Is Oprah freaking kidding me? Does she NOT realize that those of...”
– My sister, a server, freaked out when I told her that on Oprah’s “Financial Crisis 101” show, the big “O” told the audience to tip only 10% in order to save money. (via jackieheartsb)
Whew - glad I am not serving anymore. I was a server from age 16 to 22. Now I am 23 with a “big kid...
I am so bored today at work.
All I’ve done is meander on Facebook and look at pictures of cats with captions.
I heart Etsy.
“beautiful!
congratulations!!”
– Thanks darling!
Half-assed attempts at holding the door for...

danhacker:
Either you hold the door for someone or you don’t. It’s simple as that. Just don’t go about putting your hand out in a half-assed gesture that makes it appear as if your exerting the energy to do something minimal and then entail don’t do said simple gesture. What makes it even worse is when you make eye contact with the person who tries to hold the door and they give you...

True Stories About Lindsay
ryanpurtill:
You should follow Lindsay, here are somethings I’ve heard about her..
1. She learned how to drive by entering the Indy 500 and won it in reverse.
2. California was a frozen Tundra until she was born and her heart warmed the whole place.
3. I heard she showers in raspberry vodka and demands boys use a live rattle snake as a condom to prove they are man enough to sleep with her.

If you friend me on Facebook, you can see the engagement pics there.
Not that I expect anyone to be as remotely interested in this subject as I am…

I got a job!

It’s a good one, too.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Right back at ya sister.
Last night my department had our own little holiday soiree entitled: Christmahankwanzaka.
It was wonderful.
Afterward, we ate Taco Bell.
I felt sick this morning.
And the office still wreaks of booze.

Dear Self
theengineer:
Look, we need to talk. It’s about the gym. You need to start going again, for several reasons. One, you are spending a lot of money each month on a gym membership you aren’t using. Two, you feel like shit when you don’t go to the gym — lethargic, sluggish, and depressed. Three, I’ve noticed that your clothes don’t fit as well as they used to — the ones that fit at all, that...

“Figure out what a sugarplum is and then find one and eat it.”
– CRF
I just about fell over giggling.
Stuff I want to do for Christmas:
Ice skate in Central Park (so much more bucolic than Rockefeller Plaza).
See the NYC Ballet perform the Nutcracker.
Buy some crap with my mom's Macy's card because I "forgot" to return it to her before moving. Sorry, Mom!
Sip fancy hot chocolate and try on headbands at Henri Bendel, not necessarily at the same time.
Figure out what a sugarplum is and then find one and eat it.
Attend the presentation of the Louis Auchincloss prize to Ada Louise Huxtable at the MCNY next Wednesday. (One of my favorite authors + booze = happy Cary.)
Wear all my tartan clothes that I packed specifically for the next four weeks so I can mail them home and have Mom send me new stuff.
Make New Year's Eve plans.
Three words: thick black leggings.
Get a job. But this can wait till next year.
Silly Me
blissfulself:
Sometimes, I think of something really funny and audibly giggle to myself. I often wonder if people think I’m strange, but I consider myself fortunate to be so easily amused.

Feeling a little gothic this morning with the 1950s vintage blouse, black and deep red tights. Maybe its also the hair. I feel sort of spooky, Edgar Allen Poe-esque. I guess because I feel like the...
I cannot concentrate.
At work, can’t concentrate.
And my tummy’s getting queasy. Because I keep smelling chicken nuggets, but I don’t think there are actually chicken nuggets on this floor.

I just spent $140 dollars at Target.

meghannjane:
How the HELL does that happen?
It happens to me every time. I do tend to go a little crazy in the $1 section. I don’t really need 4 different calendars but I bought them all for $1
Ha! My sisters and I have this thing that we will never be able to spend <$30 at Target on one given trip. I know I’ve held up my part of the bargain. (I just went there on...
I am taking pictures of my holiday spectacle of a place tomorrow before my Christmas Sweater party.
That’s right, we’re having a Christmas sweater party, but this was not my idea - blame one of JPJ’s friends.
Anywho, I got a little crazy with decorations, menu items, etc. We’ll see how it all turns out - but it will FOR SURE be documented.
erinshannon:
I changed my mind. I’m in the Christmas spirit and am now watching Love, Actually.
I watched a bit of that today - and I just bought It’s a Wonderful Life. I plan on exposing that - paired with hot chocolate - to JPJ before Santa comes.
It’s a lil’ holiday tradition of mine.
I am still alive.
caryrandolph:
I am still awesome. I am still hungover. I am still unemployed. But! I get a visitor next week. I have a birthday party on Saturday. (Not mine, obviously.) I’ve danced twice since I got here. So… I’ll update more when my computer arrives on Friday. If you would like to contribute to the Cary Randolph Foundation for a Better Bar, send an email and a blank check. I am now accepting...

Does anyone know of a good yoga DVD? I’ve decided to start a fitness regimen, and Slim-in-6 just isn’t my style.
