Harold Always Puts Me in a Good Mood
You know when you start a new job, and you don't know what the hell you're doing for the first few weeks, months?
That is where I am.
And I don't know if this happens to you, but when I am unmoored in one area of my life, the rest of it comes untethered. Suddenly, I am saying inappropriate things and doing even more inappropriate things and SICK and not calling people back and my apartment is a mess and my arms start to look fat in my mind. This is just how it goes. Fun for the whole family!
"This is how it goes" reminds me of the "it is what it is" montage during the Top Chef reunion show. Did anyone read that William Safire NYT piece on that phrase? Normally WS gives me hives, but I liked this one. Also, can I tell you how cute Harold from Top Chef is? And also, can you believe they chose this double-chin shot for his online bio? Who did he piss off?
I dunno, but he's still so cute! He can forget my jicama any day. And haha if you don't watch the show because you are trying to figure out what forgetting the jicama could be a euphamism for. Actually, if you think of anything funny, lemme know!
And all this STUFF has distracted me from one of the most important things ever to happen to our family. To wit: my little brother Jeff is getting MARRIED next weekend? Married? Married! Married? Married! I can't even fathom all the ways this will change us all. I am grateful, in any case, that he has chosen the best possible match for him ever, Jen.
And you know, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But since Jeff knows about this part of Jen's bachelorette party in Vegas last weekend, here are Jen's boobs in her Bridefest 2K6 t-shirt that Penny and I made for her. And also, there's the shrimp cake from Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill.
And here are the fantabulous rings Jen's best lady Nicole put in our goodie bags.
And now, writing this, reality is setting in, my brother is GETTING MARRIED PEOPLE!, and I am just so excited for this weekend. And so is Warren Slocum; just ask my too funny brother Jeff. Oh, the humanity.

OK. Sad that I instantly knew the movie for the "Married?" quote. Also, Harold is way cute but that picture does him no justice. I was a little depressed on the reunion show when he finally said that he is not single. *sigh* And if he doesn't win over Tiffani? Well, it just might be the end of the world.
Have fun at the wedding and I'm sure work will get better.

So at first I was all like, where is the boob shot??? And I was confused 'cause all I saw was the food. Then I looked closer and saw t-shirted boobage.
Making me either a total perv, or someone who really wanted to see your mad photoshopping skillz. Heh!

I am so happy that Harold won. And he plans to have his restaurant open by this fall? Hmmmm. A little stalking may be in order.

We need to explore this "fantabulous" statement.
Every year, once a year, a bunch of ppl are on tele here advertising the Psychic expo and carrying on like pork chops in sequins yelling "fantabulous".
Are you a closet psychic?

I jumped up, cheered, and clapped when Harold won! I was on a date that night and insisted we go home for and hour after dinner so I could watch the Top Chef Season Finale...so worth it!
