Mindless Meanderings of a Curly Haired Girl

It's got all the right elements: dark comedy, a great female lead, and a bizarre storyline.

Gawd Ugly Babies

I just need to point out that two caucasian people should not be allowed to reproduce, because they make gawd ugly babies. I've decided only people of two different backgrounds should be allowed to reproduce.

example: my restaruant manager's wife... her mom is from Thailand and her dad is Irish... she is hot.

example: My front office manager's son Dylan, his mom is from New Zealand and his Dad is from Brazil- cutest baby ever.

example: another manager: he is a mut like me, but his wife is greek (her name is Olympia (could she be MORE greek? no)... their baby - winner of megan's cutest baby ever award... second only to the girl in applebees who I seriously almost stole.

white people should not be allowed to reproduce with other white people... my theory on adoption sounds better and better all the time.

My High School Reunion by Megan Poledick

I will be the first to admit that I did not want to attend the five year high school reunion... that I almost laughed in my best friend's face when she said she was going... but then she convinced me that as her best friend, and voted "class inseperables" I was obligated to attend. So we called the other third of our tripod and convinced him to attend. I had a minor anxiety attack as I walked up the to the doors of our town's country club. Five years, no, that's not a long time... I know this... it was long enough that Jason Robert Brown wrote a whole musical about it though. And five years was long enough for me to lose 45 or so pounds. None of these people (minus my inseparable) had seen me in my new body.

As I walked in the door there weren't many people there. My whole class was only 97 people and by the end of the night maybe 35 had made an appearance... but it was early and only 15 or so were there. At one table sat all the dudes in my class... and i mean the dudes, all of them wearing the same basic button down shirt and jeans. I quickly figured out that you could tell what people were doing based on their attire. A collared shirt and jeans meant you had a degree in business and most likely you were working in finance. Anyway... one of the guys who I had been close with in elementary school said hello to me... I certainly thought that some of them weren't sure it was me right away... but I went over and sat down at their table and chatted with each of them.

It was awkward at first to find out where to begin when people asked "so what have you been up to?" But mostly people discussed what they were doing in their jobs and what was going on in post college life (for those who made it out alive).

Some people changed for the better, some for the worse. One guy showed up who left our school district after 8th grade... so it had been nearly 10 years since I had seen him... that was good and weird.

It was interesting to me to learn that the male half of our classes "Class Couple" had turned out to be gay... and it was interesting that none of our Class Superatlives had shown up except for myself, my best friend and our matching set of male best friends. For some, there was one half, but the other was missing... alas. The two sets of best friends had their pictures taken, so we could remember that even five years later we were still bff :)

It was odd to me at the very low attendance by the females in our class as well. I know that not everyone still lives around our town and there were circumstances beyond the control of others... but there were only 10 girls there... not very many at all... considering the girls pretty much ran the student council, activities board, etc etc. while we were in school.

I was able to reconnect with some people - found out that one of my buddies lives about two miles away from me and we're hoping to get together for drinks in the near future.

I am glad Brie made me go... because it was the most random funny event ever.

Free 411

Marketing Genius! From my friends at boingboing...

"Free 411 service I know this has been around for a while, but I finally added 1-800-FREE411 to my cell phone's speed dial. My wife and I were spending up to $30 a month on Cingular's 411 service, which charges $1.29 per call. I'll never pay for 411 service again (it works on landlines, too). The catch? You have to listen to a 12 second advertisement if a related business has bought advertising. I'm willing to put up with that. Link"

Dumb Girl, I'll miss you

Dear Dumb Girl,

It hasn't even been a year since you started filling my days with remarkably stupid and memorable quotes. You've opened my eyes, I never thought people as numb as you existed. I appreciate your honesty in asking questions like: How do you spell Massachusetts? and Does tomorrow have two r's or two m's or What is Roshoshona?

Sometimes you may have thought my silence after these questions was because I did not know the answer either, but in fact, it was because I was actually stupefied by the depth of your questions.

It is with sadness that I compose this letter, knowing I only have a few more short hours to spend with you and your semi-functioning brain. I will miss the countless instances of confusion that appeared on your face when people around the office used words like "implode," "rudimentary," or "Geisha."

Good luck Dumb Girl, it will be hard to replace you... very hard indeed.

In memorandum I have compiled a short list of your most remarkable moments in my life. They can be found here for your convenience. Please stay in touch, as I don't know how I will go on without you.

Excited for this Week

This week is shaping up to have some serious fun potential. Now that things between Doug and I have been put to bed, I can close that chapter in my life and move along to the important things: fun!

Tomorrow I am headed to the Museum of Fine Arts to check out the Ansel Adams exhibit. This should be quite fun. I think I need to stop using the exhibitions at the MFA as an excuse to go on a date though - I think this will be the third time I've gone to the MFA with the latest guy in my life. Alas, it's a good time, and always fun.

Thursday is going to be an adventure. My best friend is coming to town and we are going to venture to Frog Pond to do some skating. This could be quite a funny thing. I don't know if frog pond has a web cam, but if it does, look for us falling on our behinds. Then maybe, just maybe I'll get to meet up with a friend for a night cap. Yeah, nothing like trying to get together for three months and being too busy on both ends.

Friday I am off to a holiday part at Cindy's house. Should be fabulous! I am sad though, because Mikey Mikes will not be in attendance and he's really the most fun person who attends these events (other than Cindy herself).

Saturday morning, off to the country home to do some shopping and time spending with Momma. I have three scarves I have to make, plus go and get fitted for a maid of honor dress, plus pick of a gift certificate for my secret santa. Should be a fun Saturday. I wanted to avoid Nashua all together this holiday season, but perhaps it's not possible.

Sunday there are possible plans to go to Grand Opening... we'll see. I don't have a lot of money to throw around on toys and what not, but still won't hurt to go look. Then off to Back Bay for a dinner party.

Yup, it's gonna be a good one!
