Charlie: Remember how you were a bed wetter until you were eight?

Alan: Yeah?

Charlie: You actually stopped at six.

Alan: What, what? What did you do? Did you sneak into my room and– and, and, and, and– pour warm water on me while I was asleep?

Charlie: Yeah, OK. Let’s… say it was water, and let’s say I poured it. -Two and a Half Men

SPT Crazy Eight challenge continues!

Last weekend Match and I decided that we needed to do something different, so we went downtown to check out the nightlife. We quickly got scared off by the loud bar scene, and instead went to a small Irish pub near our house. They were playing folk music, it was quiet, and we were perhaps the youngest people there, but we had a great time. Plus I got to show off my mad dart playing skills to Match. He was surprised when I almost beat him! If you look closely at the dart board, you can see a couple of 8s.  And yes, I’m ridiculously short.

Chandler: (To Rachel, sarcastically) Hey, have you had the baby yet?
Rachel: Do you want me to come over there and sit on you, because I’ll do it?!   -Friends

Last night I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner, when I get a text from Couple Wife: “Feel like going out for chinese? Preggo woman needs egg rolls!” That’s right, the poor thing STILL hasn’t had her baby. She’s officially 10 days late, and uncomfortable as hell. So the four of us decided to go out for food, and try to make CW eat as much spicey mustard as she could stand. (more…)

You’ve done nothing but cause my family pain, so if your perfect little world has come crashing down around you because the truth has finally come out, you know what, join the damn club! -Sarah, Brothers & Sisters

These past two weeks I’ve been going through a rough time with some family drama. I won’t go into the details, but I will say the end result was a massive blow out argument with my stepmom that has ended with me no longer speaking to her or my father. For me, it’s not much of a loss, as I only really talked to them during the holidays. My father and I were never close, and my stepmom is possibly the most obnoxious person I have ever met. Still, this decision to cut them out of my life was not taken lightly, and involved quite a bit of emotional turmoil for me. I spent a few sleepless night with my stomach in knots, trying to figure out what to do.

Band guy: Hey, you. Busy?

Cory: You’re not gonna ask me to the dance, are you?

Band guy: What if I did?

Cory: I’d say, “Pick me up at eight, but no slow dances.” -Boy Meets World

My dear friend Coast Sister told me about this cute blog her boss has, that does a Tuesday challenge to all bloggers called “SPT”, which stands for Self Portrait Tuesday. So every Tuesday you post a self portrait, but the catch is there is a theme each month, and sometimes a weekly challenge. So this month, the theme is Crazy 8s. You can learn more about it at Lelly’s website. It’s a cute idea, and it will be quite the challenge for me, because as you know, I never post my face.

Here’s this week’s SPT-Match actually helped me come up with it. We saved our champagne corks from

the few times we’ve cracked open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. He put them together, and said, “does this count? It’s shaped like an 8.” So that’s me holding our champagne corks, and 8 is a significant number for us, because we met in 2008. Oh, and after I took the picture, he points to it, and says, “T sag, hahaha.” I won’t even get into the eighth grade humor behind that one.

Maggie: So, Sylvia, what did you and Morty do on your first anniversary?

Sylvia: We went to Puerto Rico.

Maggie: What about you, Yetta?

Yetta: We fled Poland.                                       -The Nanny

I was perusing my blog roll during the last part of the workday, checking to see what my fellow bloggers have been up to. I saw that Miss Brittany, the SuperGoddess just celebrated her blogoversary. I congratulated her and said, “I can’t wait til my own blogoversary.” I started to wonder when it was, thinking it must be at least 6 months away. So you can imagine my surprise when I looked through my archives and discovered it was yesterday! (more…)
