And My Family Makes Fun of ME?
Last night my mother went to mvb.com to find the local dmv. I heard her in the computer room calling to me, “this isn’t right. What is it? Motor Vehicle…what?”
CURRENT UPDATE: My mother just sent me this text: They’re making your brother redo his permit test because he signed it “Josh P.”
Psht!
My fiance made a registry at Target with some tools and videogames. This is because our other four registries are all things “for me.” Like he’s never going to use a lemon zester or Le Creuset pots.
(My favorite item.)
I Love the Annual January Ski Trip with My...
When we got to the ski lodge it was night. In the morning, we got into the car and drove out of the garage—still not sure exactly where we were located. We drove around for 10 minutes trying to find the parking lot and when we did, parked near the back. We walked around the village a bit looking for a place to have breakfast before hitting the slopes and that’s when we noticed our...
Friendly and Sweet
It’s possible that when I was walking to meet my brothers at the luggage check-in today, my youngest brother sent me the text: “we’re standing next to Rosie O’Donnell.” So of course I thought he meant a doppelganger but he didn’t. He meant Rosie O’Donnell. My brothers were whispering “say something to her,” but she looked like she was...
Light Blues
Today’s activities included buying six thank you cards for my wedding party (no bridesmaids—just the mothers, sisters, one grandmother, and one cousin).
And picking out a few fabrics so they can make gowns that work together.
I think this was my favorite wedding-related duty so far…even better than setting up registries.
So Many Changes Gonna Happen
Last night I met my future cousin—Dina Myfuturename—who said, “ha! Now I’ll have to share my name with someone” and someone else said, “we’ll have to think of something else to call you [me] because everyone thinks we’re talking about this Dina when we’re talking about you.” And I thought, isn’t it weird enough for me that...

Him: So which was your favorite season?
Me: This winter. Yours?
Him: Hmm…last winter because that’s when I finally got my head out of my ass and asked you out.
Me: I picked this one because our relationship keeps getting better and better.
Yes, I Can Be a Detective
Watching How I Met Your Mother last night, I noticed this:
and I thought, really? How I Met Your Mother is filming in front of the Bones’ diner? Like how Damages took over my deli yesterday? That’s weird. And my boyfriend said, “it’s probably not the same diner.” “Yeah…CBS and Fox…different channels.” But I knew it was the same. So...
Baby.
I went with my parents to visit my sister this morning. When we walked in, my sister was holding her two month-old nephew. I took him from her so she could put all the food my parents brought her away. “He’s constipated,” she told me, “so try putting pressure on his stomach.” After a little while I sat on the couch with him on my lap and rubbed his tummy. It only...
I Saw An Open Email Last Night that Looked Like...
NYTimes has an article about how difficult break ups are now that everyone’s everywhere on the internet. Here’s one example: some girl logged onto her boyfriend’s account and saw a message he sent his mother about how he isn’t in love anymore. Now he’s her ex-boyfriend. Um, what the hell? Even if they were sharing passwords, whatever that means, why the hell would...
Wearing Pearls and High Heels
Attended my first ballet tonight. I got to see “So What?” at Lincoln Center. Choreographed by Balanchine (one of the New York City Ballet’s founders) to the music of George Gershwin.
My first two “nights out” were to see My Fair Lady and Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. I can’t remember My Fair Lady because I was too young, but my clearest memory from...
At Last Night's Party
Friend: Did you get a bonus this year?
Me: My boss pays for one of my credit cards. Food and taxis? I consider that a bonus.
Friend: We’re leaving with you.
