Bang your head
God, I am such a sheep. Baaaaaaa.
To celebrate my birthday, I shall give you a gift. The gift of bangs, both ancient and anew.
Mercifully, my bangs were only fairly hideous for a few short years. I succumbed to the no-bang trend my junior year of high school, and it’s only been recently that I’ve accepted [...]

Hey, David Brooks? News flash!
Guess what? Old white retired military guys living outside the Beltway dig hummus too.
From e-mail exchanged with my father on Sunday:
“I feel better after eating left over frozen yogurt I had made weeks ago and horseradish hummus with melba toast and red wine…I only buy hummus when it is on SUPER special. This was still $1.99, marked [...]

“It’s okay to look?” Harrumph.
Last week, I found a suspicious charge on our debit card. A membership at Match.com.
It was determined to be fraudulent – Match.com had already red-flagged the transaction – but we discovered that only after I made a fairly hysterical call to Kyle at work, insisting that I didn’t give a rat’s ass WHO was in his [...]

He said, she said
Or, to be more accurate, their spokespeople said.
There I go again, spouting off at The Soccer Mom Vote. While I love to stir the pot, I can assure you that I don’t aspire to be the next Maureen Dowd. Michael Douglas just doesn’t do it for me.

What should a project manager do first day on the job?
The title of this post was a recent Google search phrase that led someone in California to my blog.
What a project manager should do on the first day is pretty much what a project manager should do every day:
1. Read everything you can find – on the network, in hard copy reports, and especially any [...]

Don’t fly Delta if you’re breastfeeding, and don’t fly AirTran if you’ve got a toddler.
Updated with pictures of the ACTUAL AVIATION PICKLES!
But if you’re pregnant, fly United. Preferably to China.
Where they serve pickles – AVIATION PICKLES – instead of peanuts.
Thanks to my parents for saving these unopened packages of pickles just so that we could see them too.

It’s getting hot in here
Apparently my husband’s boss now reads this blog too. Maybe not every day, but occasionally. And occasionally is often enough.
I’ve struggled with coming out of the closet to friends and family. While I don’t necessarily want to divulge my innermost secrets and unearth my most embarrassing skeletons, I’m enough of a whore for attention that [...]

Anybody want to venture a guess as to this generation’s Charles Manson?

How NOT to sell me a pair of jeans
First, be so engrossed in your conversation with another salesperson that you make me wait until you finish before asking if you can help me.
Then, look at me doubtfully when I tell you that I’d like to try on jeans and that friends and acquaintances have recommended Seven For All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity. [...]
