Want to know the worst sentence in the world?
“Today is Thursday, January 27, 2011 and the [company name] is open and operating under normal business hours.”
I dialed the snow emergency line at work at 6:45, 7:30, 7:45 and finally 8:00am just to see if maybe they’d changed their minds and that god awful sentence.
But they didn’t. So I walked 1.5 miles in a foot of snow. There are no buses running. EVEN SEPTA HAS A...
I thought you might like to know
that I’m wearing leggings today. As pants. At work.
Which isn’t really acceptable. But the rest of my office lives in the “burbs” and said they “can’t drive in” today because of “all the snow” they have. So instead those jerks are enjoying their “books” and “OnDemand” and “hot chocolate” “at...

See! Kate’s picking up what I’m putting down.
WHY CAN’T I GO TO THE DALMATIAN COAST FOR FUN?!

For example...
Me: Hi! I’m calling to make an appointment for a cut and style sometime this weekend or an evening next week if possible.
Salon Guy: Okay.
Me: Soooo, do you have anything available this weekend or next week?
SG: Yeah, we have some stuff next week.
Me: Okay. What’s your latest appointment?
SG: Depends on the day.
Me: ALRIGHT THEN. What. Day. Are. You. Open. Latest?

Do you ever feel like you deserve a goddamn trophy
for keeping it [comparatively] together on a day when there are more stupid people with stupid requests and stupid things to say than there is Xanax to possibly deal with them?
I do.
Thank goodness.
My Duck Boots arrived yesterday! (Thanks to Lauren and this ridiculous deal.)
And it wasn’t a moment too soon, given that my neighborhood still looked like this last night:
Want to know how I spent
…this weekend?
DOING NOTHING. And, lo, it was glorious.
…my MLK Monday?
DOING EVERYTHING. And damn if I didn’t feel like Superwoman.
I will not be live blogging the Globes. Promise.
Now that I’m older and wiser, with a shortened attention span and the legal ability to drink while watching television, I realize that for those very reasons, the Golden Globes are easily the best awards show ever invented. People get sloppy and rowdy. They slur and curse during their speeches and get stuck in the ladies’ room when their category is announced. At least one really bad...
GPOYW: "Happy Birthday, CEG!" Edition
This weekend was one for the books: record number of vodka sodas ordered; record number of drunken dials and text to boyfriends (long-term, long-distance, brand-new or pseudo…we didn’t discriminate); record number of times I thought I lost my credit card, cell phone or jacket; record number of girlfriends in once place in far too long. In short, a record amount of fun.

Neat.
PSA of the day:
If you find something you love on Urban Outfitters’ website (such as this; seen here) and then you go into the store and if it’s not on sale (which happens ALL THE TIME), you can ask the sales clerk to verify its on sale online and they have to give it to you at the lower price.
This may be old news to you, but I learned something new (and saved $20) today!

Sleep talking.
phone rings at 8:19am while I’m walking to work…
Me: Hello?
Him: What the hell happened?
Me: To who?? With what?? What are you talking about?
Him: I woke up and you weren’t here.
Me: Well that’s strange because I woke up and you were certainly next to me. Then I took a shower, banged around, packed my gym bag and kissed you goodbye. And you told me “have a good...
Eleven goals for 2011.
Less “resolution” and more “just a reminder”…
In this New Year, I will try to:
1. be kinder and more thoughtful.
2. stop sweating the small stuff.
3. say “yes” more often to people, social events and doing new things.
4. say “no” more often to tacos, double bourbon&gingers and the Anthropologie sale room.
5. maintain the ability to...
