So, I volunteered to write a short story...

It has the potential to be published in an anthology put out by the group that is seeking the stories.

So, how does one choose a pseudonym/pen name? I'm a little torn...

Nico's a blogger.

Today, I had to feed Nico a pill for his tummy medications. Now I know what a bear wrestler feels like. Or maybe a lion tamer. Seriously.

His thoughts can be found on his blog at www.nicosays.blogspot.com. Meow.

GO NINERS!!!!

I stole this from someone on Facebook. It's too good not to share:

You know it.

It's the end of an era, part two.

After 5+ years of Elite status, I was not re-Elited this year on Yelp. No warning. No "please write more." Just...deemed not worthy. *lifts eyebrows* No matter how much they give encouragement in their form email that one can always try for it throughout the year, I say eff that - I'm taking it personally, especially since people less active than I were re-Elited. Sooooooo...

I'm retiring from Yelp, effective immediately.

So long, Yelp.

I know my sports.

I went to the hockey game at MSG earlier this week and had a memorable sports moment.

Guy sitting next to me who was watching the New York Giants football game on the TV screen: "2 to 0?? How the **** did they get 2 points?"

Me (turning to him): "Safety."

Him: "Ohhhhhhh."

Yes, my dad and bro would've been proud. :)

Happy holidays!

I volunteered to wrap presents tomorrow to help fundraise for scholarships for my alumni group. It just so happens I LOOOOOVE to wrap presents.

Doesn't the universe work in mysterious (and mysteriously wonderful) ways? :)

<--- This is me.

Boom boom boom boom! I want you in my room!

Do you remember this song? I do, and now it's guaranteed to be stuck in my head (and yours!) for the next 24 hours, minimum. *sigh* Happy Thanksgiving to us?

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

So, who else is pigging out on leftover Halloween candy? *raises hand*

I love Nerds. LOVE. 'EM. Both types. ;)

P.S. Here's Nico's costume. heh heh heh

He's such a good sport.

It's the end of an era.

I just canceled my Netflix subscription.

P.S. I like how spell check thinks "Netflix" should be "Nettled."

Noch einmal in Deutschland...
