It's like Tuesdays with Morrie without all the wisdom

I want my daylight in the morning, not at night. And I’m tired of this stupid time change. I’m tired and cranky. If I’m not tired, it’s because I accidentally slept in an extra hour and then I’m still cranky because I overslept and then the kids got up and how am I supposed to do laundry and check Facebook when I’m up an hour late? Guess I’ll have to skip the laundry. I could set an alarm clock, but I am a woman of privilege and I like to wake up and scrub my toilets at my leisure, not when my alarm tells me. Boy these first-world problems are a drag.
Here’s something fun that Dawn shared on the Twitter. I almost didn’t have time to watch it, but I did. Now I’m 1 hour, 5 minutes and 28 seconds behind on my day, but it was so worth it.
Because I Care
5March 9, 2010
Did you hear Ricky Gervais on Fresh Air whenever that was on? I don’t know when it was on because I don’t know what day it is today because that’s just how I roll. You can probably look it up on the iTunes, though. Anyway, he said, “You can’t choose your sense of humor, it’s like sexuality,” which was nice to hear since I like the sarcasm, but sometimes I try to be less sarcastic and then I laugh less, which is no good for anybody. But the best thing about hearing him say that is that it reminded me of his hilarious “animals are gay” bit. Not safe for work or children, but super funny and I wanted to share it with you. Because I care.
Hello, Katie Couric. I Don’t Usually Sweat This Much.
11March 2, 2010
Last Thursday, some special ladies and I had the opportunity to chat with/stutter at Katie Couric and Kathryn Stockett, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Help. You can see me, Vanessa Druckman, Amy Turn Sharp, and Kelley Megehan chatting about the controversial best seller on the CBS web show @Katie Couric below.
I know this interview really has nothing to do with me, but I just want to tell you I thought it would be a great opportunity and lots of fun, but I was extremely nervous and actually wanted to back out a million times. The only reason I did it was so I could be an example to my kids. I am not one of those parents who has concrete goals for her children. All I want is for them to know themselves (so much good in life comes from just that one thing) and I want them to do things that challenge them. So I told them how scared I was and I told them I didn’t want to do it because I was so nervous, but that I was going to do it anyway because I knew it would be fun if I could just get past it. In the days leading up to the interview, the kids gave me encouragement and tips on chatting up celebrities. Lena suggested that I ask Katie and Kathryn what they like to do in their spare time. She said, “Celebrities like it when you ask about their real life instead of just their work,” which is a tip she learned when she met her very favorite voice actor at an anime conference a couple of months ago. I didn’t have a chance to ask that, but maybe next time.
P.S. Mom, my bit starts at about 17:50-something.
Out and About

I’m blogging over at Doobleh-Vay today because the lovely Amy asked me to fill in for her while she’s out living her life. Check it out and read all about the best love letter ever written! To me! From Bryan! Here’s a sneak peek:
I always felt self-conscious grabbing handfuls of condoms with the nurse standing right there while I greedily stuffed them into my little brown paper sack. As if the nurse was all, “Is that how much sex you’re gonna have? And I’m supposed to believe you’re gonna use a condom every time? I know damn well you’ll be in here with The Clap next month.” It would have been better if it was like one of those game shows where you go into the booth and grab as much flying money as you can in a certain amount of time.
