Flighty bride runs off with driver
Newlywed leaves husband and wedding guests at reception
Trieste, May 27 - A cold-footed Italian bride made it through the ceremony and the traditional family photos but ran off with the driver of the wedding car before her reception in this north-eastern city. Her new husband, 34-year-old bank worker Andrea, and 30 guests were left waiting in vain at a restaurant for 30-year-old Sara, who had...
Fashion Mishap
Today I am wearing, quite possibly, the most unflattering shirt that I own.
Why? Because I’m leaving early and I didn’t want to waste a cute outfit. It’s all about sacrifice, people.
“Say, is your dress felt? Would you like it to be?”
Saved by the Bell
whatthehale:
During my AM commute today I learned that the term “saved by the bell” refers to a little bell they used to put on the inside of coffins so that if the person WASN’T REALLY DEAD they could ring the mini bell and the worker on the graveyard shift (origin of that term) could quickly dig them up.
I wonder what the REST of your life would be like after you were buried alive and left...
And the winner is...
Dress B!
Not a single person chose A (except my Grandma) so now I might have to return it, haha. I’ll just save it for another occasion like their wedding or the rehearsal dinner.
I knew I could count on all of you to steer me in the right direction! Thanks!
Why am I watching "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!"?
Update: I’m watching it because Josh Duhamel is mighty fine looking. Way too good looking for Fergie-Ferg.
Bridal Shower Card Help!
Please help me! I’m wrapping a gift for Eric’s brother’s fiance’s bridal shower and need help with the card!
Do I address the card to the bride AND the groom? I’m not sure if he will be there or not.
Do I sign it from just me or from Eric as well?
I Probably Wouldn't but Still

If I ever met the guy who decided certain refridgerators would make ice in the half moon shape instead of the cube shape, I would punch him in the los ojos. “Hey guys lets make them perfectly fit the curve of most cups so drinking is impossible because we make poor decisions.”
Baffles my mind how some people can be such...
Wait, what?
Email from co-worker to group:
Hello, Donuts and bagels, on the table near Lanai. Varieties include Gravel, Meat, Dirt, Raccoon, and Bleach.
I assure you, I’m just as confused as you are.
The Real Stripping Coke Fiend of New Jersey:... →
The promo for next week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey said the secret to Danielle Staub’s shady past could be found in an out-of-print book called Cop Without a Badge. Well, that’s been tracked down and a “coke whore” named Beverly Merrill bears an awful close resemblance.

Also, what happened to the “normal” looking cast members? These people look too modelish to be real (well, the girls anyway).
Pet Peeve #512
When people refer to Virginia Tech as “Va Tech”. No, don’t do that, it’s wrong.
It’s either Virginia Tech, VT, or Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (if you want to get technical about things).
Also, it’s not Virginia Tech University as I’ve seem some ALUMNI put on their resume! Pitiful. Know your school, idiots.
While the cat's away the mouse will play.
My boss is in sunny San Diego for the next few days (on business) so the rest of the week will be very sloowwww. At least I have permission to leave early on Friday (without coming in early OR taking time off)! I love my boss, even though I am jealous I couldn’t go to Cali.
Also, Eric is leaving today for Ocean City, MD to partake in a friend’s bachelor party festivities. I am very...

How on EARTH do you go about stretching your knees?
University of Phoenix
So on the University of Phoenix commercial it says something about becoming a Phoenix.
So let me get this straight. People who attend University of Phoenix are the Phoenixes? The Phoenix Phoenixes. Baffles my mind.
Dilemma
My pants that I am wearing today are really big on me. So big that they could stand to be taken in about 3 inches. This is a result of 2 things:
They were a little big when I bought them
Losing some poundage
I am happy about this because: I am stoked that I’m seeing lower numbers on the scale, duh.
I am mad about this because: I don’t have a lot of money to go buy new clothes with at this...
First Look: H Street Country Club →
An indoor mini-golf course/Mexican eatery/bar opening tonight in DC. Sounds cool, except I will never go because it’s in the one of the worst parts of the city. Good idea, bad location.
Bacon Day!
Nothing like a few strips of delicious bacon on my sandwich to help me get through Wednesday!
MY FAVORITE FRUIT IS GRAPES
ventisette:
because with grapes, you always get another chance. ‘cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. but if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. Grapes: the fruit of hope. — Demetri Martin
My First "My Life is Average"
I just got hollered at by a car full of guys while on a run. It was my boyfriend and his friends. MLIA.

Red Line, Thursday night:
A small boy is trying to balance in the aisle while the train sways.
Mom: "Sit down here right now."
Toddler son: "Why?"
Mom: "Because if you fall over and hurt someone, they're going to sue me, and then we will have no money and have to live in the garage."
Toddler son sits down reluctantly.

Today sucks.
It’s rainy outside, freezing in my office (surprise, surprise), and it’s eerily quiet on my hall. I feel like no one is ready to be back at work after that sweet long weekend.
Counting down ‘til 5:30.
