woo I've been tagged!
Tagged by shewasalwayskristielee - thanks!
- When I was in middle school I met the Welch’s grape juice girl (don’t try and hide it, you know exactly who I’m talking about). She was also the little blonde girl on Step by Step. I met her at a random restaurant in King of Prussia, PA. AND, I got her autograph (she put a heart over the “i” in Emily, too - oh, that was her name).
- I was once on NBC10 news for a program called “Can You Believe It” hosted by Paul Moriarty. The product my sister and I were featured for? Bead Magic, baby! We got to miss school and spend a whole day filming. It was great. However, when it finally aired, I was totally embarrassed. I brought a copy of one of our many cassettes (oh yeah) to my 5th grade class and as they watched the commercial I hid under a desk. (The story of HOW we got on will be saved for another post - I promise. Hopefully complete with pictures.)
- Following along with #2 - I hate being the center of attention. Whether it’s people talking about me, or a celebration in my honor. HATE it. I love the idea of birthdays and parties, but when it comes to being about ME, I dread it.
- I hate food with other pieces of food in it. Examples: Jello with fruit, water ice (sorry, italian ice) with pieces of fruit (chocolate chips are ok!) or cakes with fruit. I’m blanking on some other examples, but you get the idea.
- I’m not a picky eater - at all. Hence all of the trouble I have with eating healthy and watching what I eat. I love food. Sure, I prefer some food and dishes over others, but I can tolerate MOST food if need be. However, there are few foods I will NOT eat. COCONUT is one of them. So gross. It probably has something to do with the texture, but no thank you.
I thought about adding my love for headbands, various TV shows and my obsession with Bradley Cooper and Ed Westwick, but you guys kind of already know about them.
Until next time…

philly is totally the new hot spot
philly.com has now confirmed my celebrity sighting on Saturday!
Actor Jesse Bradford (“Swimfan,” “Bring it On”) hung at the bar at Rouge on Rittenhouse Square Friday night…
However, in other sad news, Bradley Cooper and Andy Samberg were also sighted in Philly this weekend.
Boo!
But, it’s okay. Bradley (yes, first name basis) will be back when he starts filming his movie here.
Until then, Cliff…I mean, Jesse Bradford, will have to do.
“At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer.”

Naturally...
As of 7:51AM the temperature is 58 degrees…
but, of course, it’s raining.
What a teaser!

This is the real name of a New Mexico city, people. I swear.
I totally believe you.
We have Bird In Hand, PA. It’s located in Lancaster County - and there is an entire website about the town and things to do in the town. I guess, ya know, incase you plan on visiting.

OMG. I literally almost had a heart attack today. I can’t watch the games on my computer, but I can watch the live time and points via ESPN.com and NCAA.com. So, let’s just say this afternoon was totally all March Madness.
Anyway, I got an intercom (inter-office) call from one of my co-workers at about half time telling me this story. I literally screamed outloud. My coworkers instantly knew what was up.
Needless to say, OT was the most intense 5 minutes ever. I sighed, loudly, when the clock reached 0.
DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, VILLANOVA. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Maybe you wouldn’t have needed to play OT if you just waited til after the tournament to teach Reynolds and Fisher a lesson.

Greatest moment today - well, besides Nova winning.
thanks, tumblr!
Testing, testing.
Love the BlackBerry app! It’s about time!
Finally!!
I hated the old app. This is 100x better. (Well, for now anyway…)

I have no idea why, but this gave me such the giggles. And, for 7:15 in the morning, that’s something quite rare.

I have to read before bed - even if it’s just a chapter or two.
Totally makes a difference in my day.

If there’s any turbulence on the way up, my arms will start flapping uncontrollably and hitting whoever is near. Then I usually snuggle into my partner’s armpits whimpering ‘Is it okay? Are you sure? Promise? PROMISE?’ and he replies with gentle reassuring words like ‘it’s all normal and fine’ as…
This is so freakin accurate.
This part, however, does make me feel a little better:
”[…] a pilot was brought in to talk to the group and compared turbulence to dessert. ‘Imagine the plane is a piece of pineapple in a jelly cup,’ he explained. ‘When you shake the cup, the pineapple bounces around but it can’t fall anywhere because the jelly is all around it, keeping it in place. The pockets of air underneath the plane are like the jelly and the plane just bounces safely on top.’”

Do they have VMFLN?
