"Seriously"

I'm an avid Grey's watcher. Lately, I've wanted to throttle Izzy and Meredith for being too whiney and sobby. The "I believe" speech from Izzy and Meredith drowning was my breaking point.

It was then I also noticed "seriously" had crept into my daily conversations. But it wasn't until our Houston trip that Stephanie and I decided to put a stop to the madness. Every other sentence had "seriously" included. Sometimes it was even a stand alone comment. Madness!!

We looked up various 12 step programs, but for some reason they focus more on addictions like alcohol, sex, and drugs. As if my problem isn't important enough? Whatever.

So I've created the "Seriously" jar. Every time I use "seriously" I must donate 10 cents. (We were going to do $1, but I figured I'd be broke the first week)



So this is a plea to all my friends and family. Help me put an end to the "seriously" addiction. If you catch me saying it, I must put 1 cents in the jar.

Hopefully this will put an end to this all. Thank you for your support.

Mean people do suck

Yesterday I was driving on the 405 (mistake #1) and as I was cut off by someone in a beater car with that bumper sticker "Mean People Suck" peeling from it's wrecked bumper, and it got me thinking....Mean people do suck.

Since I moved to LA on Mon, I've been honked at while at a red light, yelled at for parking where I apparently wasn't supposed to, and even the people at Target were rude when I asked where to find peanut butter. (PS. did you know that it is nearly impossible to find normal, non-soy, non-organic peanut butter here? What's a girl gotta do to get some Jif around here?)

So maybe this is just a rough first week for me and LA. Hopefully we can be friends soon.
