Best Guest Posts of 2009

December 29, 2009

I love guest blogging. Sure, I might complain when I have to do it, but it’s only because I see you high up on the blogger food chain (it exists) and I feel pressure to rock your blog like a hurricane. Why is it that when you’re asked to write on someone’s blog you can [...]

Grandfathers Say The Darndest Things

December 28, 2009

You’re welcome Apple.
Why? Because my grandpa has come up with a new slogan for your MacBook Pros. This afternoon we were having a laptop show-and-tell. I encouraged him to touch the laptop because I enjoy touching things. I naturally assumed I got this quirk from him. As he slid his hand over the top of [...]

Do me a favor?

December 28, 2009

My name is brandy. And I have a blog.
And a plea.
I use my blog to showcase the crazy I meet everyday, share the stories of the kids I teach and document my love for tequila, dairy products and the abdominal muscles of Ryan Reynolds. Rarely do I talk about personal issues on my blog- as [...]

Michael Bay Loves Boobs

December 23, 2009

So apparently Michael Bay took a break from ruining movies to create Victoria’s Secret commercials. Great, now he’s ruining my bra. Curiosity got the best of me so of course I had to watch the 1:30 commercial.

And now you can too! Merry Christmas.
I watched it with a co-worker and the entire time we were waiting [...]

Going Home

December 22, 2009

I heart family. Why?
bad news; it’s snowing
good news: it’s pretty
bad news: Ohare’s arrivals are delayed
good news: it’s only Tuesday
bad news: going to snow again tomorrow
good news: no snow expected on Thursday
bad news:  weatherMAN is not always right
good news:  we will wait for you!
That’s an email I received from my aunt this morning. She’s been keeping [...]

PostSecret 12.20.09

December 20, 2009

And I’m back with a few more PostSecret favorites. Don’t forget to check out the rest of this week’s batch.

I often giggle when I pass by funny signs. I wish I made more of an effort to pull over and snap a photo.

I’d be lying if I said I never thought about this. What? Don’t [...]

I Am Man. Hear Me Shop With You.

December 17, 2009

Guess who’s back!? Yeah that’s right it’s me, Alex Roda! The guy nobody wanted to discuss video games with last time he was here. Ok maybe a few people did but the majority of you are slackers. That’s right I said it.
By the way, I figured this time I’d go with a tough guy routine [...]
