Yesterday I got the phone call that every child...
My Dad was taken to the ER for severe chest pains, was white as a ghost and sweating profusely. For my Dad to say “call 911” I cant imagine how bad it must have been.
EKG came back normal. He was vomiting non-stop in the ER so they gave him some pain pills for his chest and some anti-nausea pills. Eventually they got him well enough to do an exercise test, in which his results were...

So in a break from my hell, here’s what I’m thinking about…
Thank you everyone for your well wishes for Fattie! She’s 100% back to her old self (aka attacking Quagmire every chance she gets).
Unfortunately, she passed her cold on to me (oooor maybe the fact that I work in a health center surrounded by sick people all day long). Body, listen up. you have less than 24...

Who do you use? Do benefits kick in right away (as in can I order it tonight and use it this week)?
Dear Obama,
As a person who works in health care, I applaud your efforts with health care reform.
However. You’re forgetting about our beloved pets. They provide us with love and support. And unfortunately crazy high vet bills.
I have to take Fattie in to the vet tomorrow, which will probably cost $300+. Of which I don’t have.
Why is there not a free clinic for cats? Or even a community...
Dear Groupon/Living Social/Z Spot Deals/etc
Please post a mani/pedi deal by Thursday. Momma desperately needs one for NYE, but my restricted post-holiday budget wont let me pay full price. Puhhhlease! This girl has some serious jacked up nails. I’ll even get something dark and sparkly since that’s what the cool kids do.

…and thanks to my orthodontist.

Now girl, I know we’ve gotten into some internet fights (of which I’m always right), but I’m still so thankful that this crazy Tumblr world has brought us together. I believe you may be on vacation still (jealous) so you may never see this, but I hope your birthday is fantastic and you’re out making snowmen in the crazy storm yall got! Safe travels back to Raleigh!

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.
Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!
Kramer: That must have been some kind of doll.

dailyallison asked: I just stumbled upon your blog and spent the past 20 minutes with a huge smile plastered on my face, laughing as I read your posts. I see you have some disgruntled followers. Lame. Go away haters, go away.

My super successful lunch break
So thanks to TallGirlTales giving everyone the heads up that Gap was offering 50% off EVERYTHING in store, I rushed my butt over there as fast as I could. Here’s what I got:
Really skinny pants - 59.50 The most flattering pants I’ve ever tried on! Make sure to size down to avoid knee-bagginess (a word?).
Striped cowlneck T - $14.99 (originally $19.50)
I got this in 2 colors...
This week I recommend....Tall Girl Tales!
Yall, I’m a rebel. I don’t follow Tumblrs rules for when I’m supposed to recommend people. But for the one last follower I have who isn’t already following this amazing Tumblr, press that follow button IMMEDIATLY. Here’s why:

Bro, work on your timing
As I got off the phone Sunday night, a conversation where I put the final nail in the coffin of boy/exboy, I noticed I had a text from my brother:
“[redacted girlfriend’s name] was hoping to get your help on what gifts to get Mom and Dad for Christmas. She says hi and can’t wait to meet you soon.”
It took me two days to respond. What can I say, I’m in no mood to...

What are your NYE plans? Yes I realize a lot of you believe this holiday is over-hyped, but I don’t see what’s not to love about putting on a sparkly outfit, having an excuse to drink too much champagne, and kiss lots of boys!
My friends and I are starting our search of where to celebrate, but wanted to see if any of yall already had fun plans? And maybe we could all meet-up and...
Shhhh don't tell my boss but I'm playing hookey...

For the multiple questions I've gotten:

And this may be largely a large boobie/small boobie issue. However I read a lot of girls on here talking about how the second they come home, the bra is off. And they would never dream about sleeping with a bra on, because of how uncomfortable it would be.
Maybe I buy different bras? But mine are pretty darn comfy. I’m hardly ever without one on. And 99.9% of the time I sleep with one...
Holiday eating tips

I just got the following email from one of my old team members (who I miss dearly). While this is probably a bit over the top, I like the message: enjoy the holidays!
HOLIDAY EATING TIPS 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing about Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door,...

Every time I watch Mean Girls I think of your blog (I watched it this weekend)!

My lovely horoscope this morning (scorpio)
Parts of your life are apt to clash in a huge explosive breakdown today, jackie. Be careful when driving or operating anything having to do with fire or explosives. The atmosphere today is just that: explosive. Actions you take now may set off a whole chain of violent reactions that may be difficult to tame once they get underway. Return to your center as often as possible today in order to calm...
