Foot Tapping

WordNerd glares at her watch, then at the wedding website RSVP page, then at the slackers (who are mostly her co-workers who swore up and down they’d be at the wedding come hell or high water).  Glares at watch again.
They have until 11:59PM.  Then the nagging commences.

The Gym Stays Open

Thanks to 1,300 member signatures and two original owners with a prevailing bid, the Rock Creek Sports Club will stay open and there will be no anguished scramble for another unpretentious, well-run and friendly gym.  There will be no trips to the L.A. Fitness in downtown Silver Spring.  We’re staying right where we are.  Additionally, [...]

IP Won’t Be Here All Week (Due to Travel)

A double citation!  IP’s citation-happy heart will be pleased to see these once he returns from his travels to the far off region of . . . the Midwest.  You have to understand: this is the humor I live with.  If he blogged, I have a feeling he’d become a DC Blogs/Express favorite. He’s constantly [...]

An Observation by IP

I explained the difference between Jon & Kate and Octo-Mom to IP over email. When he finally got them sorted out he wrote:
Why do I feel as though natural selection, which has served us so well for billions of years, has now finally failed?
Oh, too true.  Too true.

The Commute Home

Exiting Bethesda station yesterday, my BlackBerry finally attained a signal and proceeded to go nuts.  It practically danced in my hand as IP and I boarded the bus that would take us home, family, friends and co-workers all demanding to know that we were all right.  All told, it took us 40 minutes extra to [...]

The Definition of Sadness

Admitting that your first thought when you woke up this morning was how the weather was going to affect someone else’s wedding (someone who you might have met once before, but who you don’t really know, and of course you’re not invited to that wedding).  And no, it’s not me. This is why I don’t [...]

In Brief

Note to . . .
Wedding website visitors: Please RSVP already! I see you, lurking around the Online RSVP page, so just go ahead and do it. Oh, and those who keep on telling me that they’re “going to RSVP tonight!”? Put up or shut up. You have 11 days, people.

Kid Talk: The Alternative to Nyquil

Lately my patience is being tried by parents who talk too much about their kids. I don’t know what it is—a few months ago IP and I were advertising our babysitting services on this blog, but when it comes to some acquaintances’ kid talk, I really am getting very annoyed. Maybe it’s because [...]

Yes, Another Wedding Post

IP and I have under two months until we get married.  My blog is again being dominated by wedding posts.  Coincidence?  Well, I figure if I can’t vent/rave about the wedding here, I can’t do it anywhere.  Y’all are jus’ jellus, anyway.
Kidding!  Besides, it’s a good way to get my mind off the Wings.  Oh, [...]

I Haven’t Felt This Hockey Unhappy Since 1995

A new desktop background image goes on my laptop today as I sadly  have to take down the 2008 Red Wings Stanley Cup celebration photo, and I don’t get to replace it with the 2009 one.  IP had told me multiple times that he was in favor of whatever series outcome led to me getting [...]
