Cold stuffing with your fingers > Warm stuffing...
If you want to be sure you never get too cocky, buy yourself a duvet cover. I just had a 15 minute struggle with one that was one of the more humbling experiences of my life.
Recently found myself in a situation where I felt like acting a few years younger would be beneficial. Now as a young adult author, I have a pretty extensive information base to draw on when it comes to things that are hip to those younger than I am. But, the only thought running through my mind was, “Mention that you don’t remember when Ronald Reagan was president, but be...
I just bought jeggings. That’s right, jean leggings.
Get ready, world. You’re about to meet my thighs in a big way!
If I could swap the rate at which I lose hair with the rate I lose weight, I’d be so set.
Just realized when a hummus container says “Party Size” that means you’re supposed to serve it at a party. Here I was thinking that it meant if you ate the whole thing in one sitting, you got to walk around for the rest of the day slapping your belly yelling, “There’s a party in here! A garlic lovah’s party! And if your name is Hint of Lime Tostitos, you’re invited!”
Color me embarrassed.
I’m the guest speaker at a luncheon series for writing students this afternoon!
This morning I noticed my manicure was chipped and filled it in with Sharpie.
In terms of acting like a grown up, these activities cancel each other out, right?
Wait. Lemme get this straight.
There are people out there who don’t count 20 pieces of candy corn as a serving of vegetables during the months of October and November? For serious?
Hey Other DC Folks:
Is anyone else listening to the new Fresh 94.7 and think that they’re trying a little too hard with all of their self-promotional advertisements? Like every other commercial is “94.7 isn’t slow and boring like the other washed up stations. We’re super cool. And we don’t have tons of DJs talking like everyone else does because we totally get you...
White chocolate fountains, you’re a waste of chocolate fountain technology.
Yeah, I went there.
Thought I actually just had...
“Hey, what if I declared today Walk Like an Ogre Day and just walked everywhere like an ogre all day? Pretty awesome idea.”
Working from home has officially made me unsuitable for interaction with other humans. If you see a chick walking toward you like an ogre today…or actually for the next week as I might extend the holiday…do us both a favor and avoid eye contact....

Today I’m going to talk at a high school and I’m scheduled to start at 11:46. Yep, 46. Remember how in high school periods ended at ridiculous times like 10:12 and 1:37? I didn’t until I was reminded of it. And that’s part of what I love about writing young adult books…little memories from growing up I might never have thought of again that come floating back.

There’s a commercial on the radio now that starts with this very serious voice asking health related questions. Considering my crappy insurance, when I heard this commercial, I decided that if I paid attention and answered all of the questions, this could replace my physical this year.
I responded mostly with yes’s and then the radio voice got even more severe and was like, “If...
I’m blaming Daylight Savings for the fact that I ate lunch at 11:15 yesterday.
The fact that I ate second lunch at 2:30…can I blame that on the metric system?
