So I made a promise to Minou
that I would listen to some Robyn.
I listened to (and watched the videos for) Dancing on my Own and With Every Heartbeat. YOU WERE RIGHT. I do really like her.

Holy Christmas Batman!
I live in what I find best described as a semi-detached house. The couple who live next to me are retired, had moved here from Virginia almost 2 years ago and had lived in a 13 room house and now they are living in an approximately 1600 square foot house (the extra square footage comes from the partially finished basement).
They left me some Christmas cookies, so I picked up a little something...

Seth Godin on being your own boss:
If you had a manager that talked to you the way you talked to you, you’d quit. If you had a boss that wasted as much as your time as you do, they’d fire her. If an organization developed its employees as poorly as you are developing yourself, it would soon go under.

faithampersandbegorrah replied to your post: I typically feel mortified when I use ‘your’ when I meant ‘you’re.’
I’ve done the “who’s”/”whose” mistake twice in the last three years [yes, I keep count], and it still haunts me.
I deleted that post. I was afraid I sounded like a grammar snob. But I understand! I don’t correct other people (unless I know them...

No one in the history of human existence has ever mentioned using a mandoline to slice anything without the story culminating in “…and then we sat in the emergency room for three hours.”
I mean, I appreciate that you can slice things very finely with them, and everything, but couldn’t we just, like, eat chunkier foods, and not die?

My friend’s great aunt was so Catholic, she couldn’t ask for chicken breast, she’d ask for chest of chicken.
When I was little my older sister corrected me when I was running around yelling, “Boobies, boobies, boobies!” She said, “They’re not boobies, they’re breasts” as she pointed at her...
