JibJab does it again!

Following on the heels of their runaway Internet hit “This Land is Your Land,” the good folks at JibJab are back with another hysterical look at Campaign 2004: “It’s Good to be In DC“. I saw it on Leno last night — which was a fluke, really, since I never, ever watch The Tonight Show. …

New digs.

I stayed late at work today to do, finally, what I’ve been meaning to do for months now — move into my new office. It has four walls. Made of wood — or something resembling wood, anyway. A door. A desk that faces the door. A place for my computer monitor that doesn’t face the …

Ack! I need a costume!

I honestly can’t remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween — especially if you exclude all the times I wore my PJs out in public just because I had a decent excuse to do so. So I’m starting to feel a wee bit pressured/panicked by the looming date of Daniel’s (annual?) Halloween party …

Boomer Sooner!

I know it doesn’t necessarily make sense to continue rooting for a college football team so closely associated with an ex-boyfriend, but I can’t help it; I’ve just spent way too many years cheering on Bob Stoops’s OU Sooners to break the habit completely. Even so, I resisted the urge to spend hundreds of dollars …

Presidential ties.

I got my Oct. 11 issue of Newsweek today, and only when I saw the picture on the cover of Bush and Kerry shaking hands and smiling (Kerry with genuine glee, Bush with that stupid little grin of his), I realized something. Last week, Kerry wore a red tie and Bush wore a blue one. …

I must know myself. Really well.

Curtis’s blog referred me to another site that sent me to this groovy “Where should I live?” Web site. You fill out eight pages of questionnaire, and it gives you a list of the top 24 places you’d enjoy living. Here’s my list. What’s yours? 1. Knoxville, Tennessee (I interviewed for a job with HGTV.com …

JNTIY explains dating & sex

Alright, so this veers way off the course of what I’m normally found talking about in polite mixed conversation. However, I simply *have* to share. It’s that simple. I mentioned about a month ago now a new book called “He’s Just Not That Into You: The no-excuses truth to understanding guys” that was reviewed in …

Bridget excitement!

I have been a fan of Renee Zellwegger since I first saw her on screen (in “Jerry Maguire“). Then along came her fabulous rendition of Bridget Jones, which I honestly far preferred to the book. The movie “Bridget Jones’s Diary” had the extra bonus of starring the delightful duo of Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. …

I need to write more.

Yesterday was a lazy sort of Sunday. After a delightful lunch at Pei Wei (my new favorite Dallas eatery, shockingly knocking off my longtime favorite, BJ’s Brewhouse), there was much wandering around Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Plano. I sampled some much-too-yummy-for-my-own-good sugar-free ice cream at Maggie Moo’s in Frisco (strawberry banana definitely suits me!). I …
