like, you know, because i was tagged.

I got tagged in a fun blog meme, because ND at Delicious Ambiguity thinks I am a fun blogger. We do have some important things in common, since I think she is a fun blogger, too.

For instance, last Friday she was feeling a bit prickly and wrote a list of her greivances of the week, including this wrongspice boy she once, I assume, quasi-dated.

I sent my former rebound flame a really nicely thought out birthday card in hopes that he has gotten less hateful in the 6 months since we last spoke, and he responded via email, "Thanks for the birthday card. I have no desire to reconnect with you right now. I hope things are well."

Don't you just love her already?! You must check out her blog!


So, the rules of the meme are to post a list of things you like/love/hate, and then link to three bloggers who you admire! All you have to do is fill in your likes/loves/hates after the bolded words! :) Have fun!


I like the cool side of the pillow.

I like sleeping in on Sundays.

I like listening to cute boys sing.

I like kettle-cooked potato chips. and ranch. and at the same time.

I like the way I feel when my niece hugs me after I haven't seen her in awhile.

I like the idea of soulmates.

I like love stories that end sadly.

I like getting a group-laugh when I say something witty in a room full of people.

I like kissing boys remembering what it's like to kiss boys who are not my husband.

I like people who have passion.

I like thinking about him.

I like it when I look skinny in photos.

I love knowing my parents still believe in me.

Today was payday, which is awesome. Momoneyspice!

I hate when my feet are cold.

I hate the way I feel when I oversleep on a work day. Like today, for instance. (Unshoweredspice.)

I hate anxiety attacks, which I have occasionally.

I hate cleaning the house, so I don't do it that often.

I hate when someone leaves the toaster plugged in.

I hate lukewarm coffee.

I hate my thighs. (Cellulitespice.)

I hate Jay Mohr.

I (secretly) like my current fantasy: someday when I am an old, old woman I might get to be with another man. A certain man. (Not Jay Mohr, though. Obvi.)

I love knowing he might read my blog, and I love the boys who are sitting at their laptops right now, possibly scratching their heads. (Sorry, Travener, you aren't him.) ;)

For this meme, I hereby tag Ashley at Fragment Ideas and Too Many Pronouns who shares my love of karaoke and is a Superstar! (That's pronounced "Supe-uh-stah.") I don't think she sticks her hands under her arms and sniffs them, though. At least not to my knowledge.

She's a fairly new blogger, and you should read her blog. Seriously. She has the most beautiful heart.

Next, I shall tag my bestie Tina Lynn Sandoval at Sweet Niblets, because she is the gooey marshmellow in my chocolately s'more. Plus, I know she'll do the meme. She's cool like that. Read her blog, too, if you don't already.

Finally, I will tag Laurel (who is, though she may not agree, adorable) at Laurel's Leaves. She is very writerly and uses all the best words. Go. now. Followspice.

Well, happy weekend, loves. My birthday is Tuesday so I will clearly start the celebration tomorrow night, when hubs and parents take me out for sushi. And I see karaoke in my future... after we ditch the Tidd's, I assume. Though the idea of my dad and I at karaoke together is actually rather appealing.

Hmm.

I like memes (= easy blog posts).
I love knowing your MC shares my name. And compliments (writerly! ooh!).
I hate not being 20-something anymore! (Well, only kind of. Maturity has its perks.)

Thanks for the tag. This one looks fun!

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before
