This Needs to Be Said

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

The word pronounced \ˈyā\ is spelled y-e-a. NOT y-a-y.

Example: Yea, my blog traffic is at an all time high!

What? You thought “yea” was pronounced \ˈyaə\. No. That is spelled y-e-a-h.

Example: Yeah, I do hate it when people spell yea, y-a-y.

I am sorry if this post offends anyone, but this is my biggest internet pet peeve of all time. Every time I see this mistake, I cringe.

I had to let it out.

For my health.

Please feel free to double check this in a dictionary.

Need a Good Laugh?

The most embarrassing story ever.

At least, the most embarrassing story ever that involves Chick-Fil-A and fries.

The post is also an inspirational reminder that none of us are perfect.

Question to Ponder

Do you think it is an accident that the words noise and boys rhyme?

I’m just wondering.

How to Make Me (If You Could, That Is)

Monday, November 19th, 2007

You know I like to share recipes, and I have a few good ones coming up, along with some gift ideas, crafts, and other Christmas awesomeness. For now, though, I will leave you with my recipe:

Charity

- 1/4 cup of sensitivity
- a scoop of caring
- a scoop of honesty

Blend together quickly and serve.

Amazon Takes Over the World

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

I am having the crappiest day ever. Ever. EVER. But, there was one thing that happened that managed to put a smile on my face (besides getting tagged with a cool blog meme - more on that later).

Amazon Grocery. You can buy groceries on Amazon. Wow!

They even sell my Seventh Generation laundry soap. Yeah, I am a little bit of an eco-snob. Cut me some slack, I live in Burlington, VT.

That reminds me of the time I interviewed there. I was so not a good fit. That was in my pre-eco-snob days.

Then again, I would still not be a good fit. I think you have to be a liberal eco-snob.

Anyway, I think this Amazon Grocery thing is very cool. (Disclaimer: I haven’t actually tried it yet. I just think the concept is cool.)
