Thumb Wrestling in Baltimore
...because someone once told me I was so competitive I could lose a friend over a thumb wrestling match. He knows me very well. Thumbwrestlinginbaltimore@gmail.

I just agreed to plans tonight solely because I love my outfit so much today that I wanted an excuse to wear it longer.
Also, my dress is definitely too short to wear to work, but I’m just pretending it’s not.
2 weeks ago- Dana: Do you have any interest in coming with me sometime this weekend to look at furniture? I am going to 5 stores, all of which are within a mile of each other.
- Nicole: Interest? No. But I'll go. It'll have to be Sunday though because Saturday I have dinner with Mike [one of my best friends] and his parents for his birthday.
- Dana: Just you, Mike and his parents? You are such the "Parents Girl".
- Nicole: I play well with adults.
- Dana: You should start a company whereby people can rent you out to meet their parents and pretend to be their girlfriend. Like you do with Phil.
- Nicole: Kind of a G rated Pretty Woman.
- Dana: I would hire you to pretend to be me to meet the parents of anyone I date.
- Nicole: I can offer both services.
- Dana: Of course, at my age, and with my recent track record, their parents will likely have passed on.

Perhaps as a birthday present to himself, my dog Bodie caught and killed a mouse last night in my bedroom.
It is currently under a bowl, under a laundry basket in the middle of my floor.
It may be there forever.

I took an oxycodone-acetaminophen this morning for my back (which hurt so badly last night I could hardly sleep) so that I could comfortably get through a long day of meetings with my boss.
It just kicked in.
I feel like magic. My hands are shaking and it feels like I’m on a roller coaster when I move my head.

At what age do you think I will stop being so damn proud of myself for completing relatively menial tasks like going to the post office, returning things to the store, depositing checks at the bank, or remembering to pick up laundry detergent on my way home?
You know, “errands”.
‘Cuz I’m 28 now, and still pretty much feel like I won the day because I remembered to mail some thank you cards this morning.
3 weeks ago- My youngest sister, Corinne: I have to tell you, after seeing the wedding pictures and the pictures from my golf outing, the only boyfriend that would have me is Papa John.
- Me: I thought you looked really nice in (most of) the wedding photos.
- Corinne: I looked like Janet Reno.
I just bought these shoes from ModCloth as a “Congrats on getting through 2 1/2 days of the worst work week ever” present to myself.
Frankly, I deserve more. These were cheap, and my week’s been terrible.
3 weeks agoThings about America/Americans my British boss has made fun of this morning (it's 8:50 am):
- Our driving
- The quality of our roads
- Our coffee
- The service in our hotels
- Obama
- Bush Senior and Junior
- Our obesity
- The size of our portions
- The quality of our food
- Our driving again
- Our tendency to complain
- Our inability to think outside of the box
- Our proclivity for tardiness
- The butchering we’ve done to their language
