ABC: Don't cancel "Pushing Daisies!"

Happy belated birthday, Frabney!

Blogging regularly is HARD

Let's see what I have been doing while I have been laid off:

• Haven't watched as much TV as I thought I would be watching
• Been on a slew of interviews; still no job
• Questioning the prices of Whole Foods and why green onions are so expensive
• Wish that there were triple coupon discounts at grocery stores in NYC
• The Duggers' (the family with 17 -- and one on the way -- children) faith sorta scares me
• My gym now costs me $36 for 6 months
• My friends are awesome
• I really can cook
• My nasal passages are failing me
• I can make plants grow
• I love free things
• I almost got pickpocketed last weekend
• My body does not like the cold. At all.
• I like to read crappy novels. A lot.
• I almost finished my afghan
• I really like quiches
• I hate cleaning my apartment
• I really love my friends
  

What I Did While I Was a Giant Statistic (aka Laidoff): Week 2

I am going to catalog the things I do while I am laid off. This will be a visual diary and I will spare you every little detail of my journey. So, on week two, I found out the Freethan was in town from Froulder, CO, and dragged him to dinner:



Went to JERSEY (!!!!) for election night and spent time with Frike V and his partner Fraul. Frike made Obama cookies to celebrate:



And then on Friday, I got to meet up with my favorite secret agent, uh, I mean analyst, Frynn. We had tea and sympathy and ran into bunnies with mustaches (shout out to Frannie and Frabney):



Oh, and I had a job interview and other interviews scheduled for week 3.

File under "Whaaaaa?"

So I understand the need to get people to eat more vegetables, but broccoli and cheetos?

If Palin named me...

Michelle Park, if you were born to Sarah Palin, your name would be:
Mole Valdez Palin

What would your name be? Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator

Thanks for the tip, Frannie!

At Kripalu Yoga Retreat

It's so beautiful here. The leaves have changed but not everything is
gone. I spent the afternoon dozing on a couch reading. Hows that
different from home? It's a bigger couch.

Dinner was fantastic with the most amazing spelt bread I have ever
eaten. I also ate real vegetables. That may sound weird, but I
haven't had a fresh vegetable that wasn't a garnish in a while. Of
course the downside to that is I have to, well, go. Which I guess is a
good thing and THANK GODS I didn't have to do any serious yoga poses
tonight or there would have been some major consequences to deal with
in class tonight.

Namaste.

bring on the good stuff

I try to limit the amount of bacon I have, and it's been a bit of a dry spell until this morning. And OMG, why don't i have bacon every day?????

Recent Amazon delivery

I think I have a chick flick-lit problem. It may be time for an
intervention.

Obama v. McCain

Lion Brand Yarn comes up with fun patterns for knitting, crocheting, crafts, etc. However, somehow, I think this project, Obama and McCain finger puppets, is way wacky and I can't tell whether I think it is awesome or offensive. Not sure yet.

MMMmmm, donuts.

I am so easily swayed. As soon as I saw this photo, I wanted a donut. Now all I want is a donut. The power of suggestion is upon me. Thank goodness I have DVR and can skip through TV commercials because otherwise I would own PedEggs, that weird foam stuff for kids, pet nail trimmers, and a ton of RonCo products.
