Let's Talk About RSVPs
Listen Facebook/evite/MyPunchbowl, I have a beef with you.
It’s called the “maybe” option.
Remember back in the day when people sent out actual paper invitations and the very last line was “RSVP by _____”? THAT WAS FOR A REASON.
There wasn’t a maybe.
You had to pick.
Yes, I am attending this event. No, I am not. You made a choice. You didn’t hold out...
Living in Sin, Part IV
Me: [upon pulling up the list of shows recorded on our DVR] You recorded "Cops"?!
Aaron: Yes.
Me: OH MY GOD!!
Aaron: You recorded "Jersey Shore," so you can shove it.
Me: [silent]

An Accidentally Early Christmas
So I remembered late last night to put the Netflix DVDs we watched over the weekend (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Hangover, in case you were curious) in the mailbox.
When I opened the door, I jumped backward because THIS was sitting on the front porch:
I yelped and then tried not to pass out and then thought it must be a mistake and then Aaron came to see what all the...
We bought Rock Band 2 last night
And proceeded to rock until 5:30 am.
One minute it was midnight and we were just getting started and the next minute it was almost 6 am and we were playing huge venues with the crowd singing along.
I am now without a voice, but damn, The Tricksters know how to put on a helluva show.
Carly's take on being single & fabulous during the... →
It’s the first time in five years that I’m NOT single during the holidays. Which is awesome slash weird slash fun slash expensive. But I think I can still speak as an expert in the art of being single (hello - five years!!) and therefore highly recommend that all the single ladies in the world should take a play outta Carly’s book because she is spot on with this post for verb...

Anonymous Q & A: Round 3
Why are pugs the cutest dogs ever?
Have you seen my pugs? Case closed.
What are some of your goals for 2010?
Learn more. Kick ass at my day job. Kick ass with verb [ICT]. Write more. Be less stressed. Relax. Eat more sustainably. Get back into a routine with my gal Jillian and the 30 Day Shred. Be a better girlfriend and a better friend.
Are you and Aaron going to get married? And when?...
So apparently there are only 9 days until...
This is not going to end well.
Anonymous Q & A: Round 2
Deserted island. You and the pugs. What other 5 things/people would you want with you?
1. Aaron, 2. Laptop, 3. Pillow, 4. Sunblock, 5. Deck of cards
You’re pretty much an open book.What is one thing that people would be surprised to learn about you?
This is a REALLY HARD question because I think I tend to overshare… Maybe that I’m too sensitive for my own good. Criticism...
Anonymous Q & A: Round 1
How did a Cali girl like you end up in the ICT?
It’s a tale as old a time. Girl meets boy on the internet (I used to lie and say we met at a wedding… which is almost true because on the day we met in person, he was my date to a wedding). Girl and boy date long distance, flying back and forth from LA to Wichita. Girl moves to Kansas because all of her earthly belongings fit into a 300...

Next up, verb [ICT] t-shirts! →
Steph, you have made my night.
Sometimes I just need to hear that what we’re doing doesn’t suck. And while the comparisons to NC are inevitable, it’s nice to know that we’re standing out on our own.
Thank you for giving us a little morale boost.
And I’m serious about the t-shirts. It’s been added to my to-do list. :)
Tumblr has spoiled me by making me think I can go...
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Ever.
Lucky.
I woke up to this:
And then found this:
It’s gonna be a good day. :)
