Hope Floats

"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."

Just the movie I needed today. Happy Labor Day, all!

Mermaid Wedding

Saturday was one of my best friend's bachelorette parties in Portsmouth, NH. It was a crazy 24 hours and I couldn't have asked for a better time or better people to be with.

I will give my best David Letterman Top 10 list of the festivities, but most will be personal jokes of the evening - here we go:

10. Anatomically correct penis cakes
9. The cigar roller - whoever tries this, report back
8. The dirty seagull - if a guy is reading this and knows what that is, shame on you
7. Ginger bean soup - this would not have been as funny if we weren't blacked-out
6. Tiger/Bruce/Hu G...
5. The virgin dance - no words, just a propelled bracelet
4. Dollar bill/picture game - one reason why the pictures of the night are horrifying
3. Alizé - straight up passion
2. A rediculous amount of mermaids
1. The running man turned into a swift kick to the balls - guy never saw it coming

Love you all, can't wait for the 26th!

Weddings Galore

It's official - my cousin and his girlfriend are ENGAGED! I've known for a few weeks and I've been having the hardest time keeping it a secret. He popped the question on Friday night and we celebrated all weekend - maybe I celebrated enough for the both of them, but hey, I'm excited.

AND I'm in the wedding!

The Pill = Bad Relationships?

A recent study found that birth-control pills could screw up a woman's ability to sniff out a compatible mate. And they really mean sniff - I guess the body sends out aromatic molecules that indicate genetic compatibility.

In my life, this makes perfect sense.

My guy choice while on the pill resulted in:

My guy choice while off the pill:

For all of you girls out there looking for Mr. Right, maybe it's time to take a break from BC. It's worked for me so far.

Pandora

For those of you that haven't tried Pandora Radio, I highly recommend it. I just started using it this morning and I've become a fast fan.

The program pretty much designs a personalized radio station based on your fave tunes. All you have to do is choose one of your favorite songs or artists and it will quickly find songs with musical similarities to your choice.

This not only helps you find new songs you might not be familiar with, but also helps the day fly by because you aren't constantly scanning through your iPod to find just the right track.

Frank - thanks for sending this my way :)
