Don’t Take This Personal, Elmo, but Would You Kindly Die?
Remember awhile back when I tried to speak with sagacity about Wee Cee’s lack of interest in Elmo? And remember how you seasoned parents kindly held your tongue in the comments and refrained from telling me, “Oh, you just wait, girly. Elmo fixation is a thing and it’s going to ruin your life just like […]
I wore flannel in July ’cause Eddie Vedder told me to.
I have a confession to make: I’m a reluctant hipster. I like to be the first to know about the latest craze just so I can dabble in it for a sec, declare myself an expert on it, and then scorn it. It’s fun to alienate people by convincing them that you were a fan […]
Hair Apparent
OK. So. I am obsessed with C’s hair. I didn’t know that hair obsession was an option on the menu, but it apparently is. Yaaaaaaaaaay. It started as a minor fixation. She would smear Cream of Wheat/yogurt/mustard through her hair and I would curse the day she transitioned to solids. I’d shampoo it and then […]
Blockbuster Family Faves
SPECIAL NOTE: Ashley will be taking a break from RTT for a little bit, so be sure to check back here at The Waiting for RTT updates for the next month or so. ;D ♥ In a comment she left on Monday, my mom reminded me of our Friday afternoon visits to Blockbuster Video when […]
An Underrated Accountant’s Top 5 List of Overrated Actors
This, I know, is going to come as a surprise, but the awkward girl that was me in high school actually had friends. I don’t know how this happened since I was more interested in writing poetry starring the words “tempestuous,” “ocher,” and “sublime” than I was to having real conversations with people, but against […]
MTV without the music is just TV, right? WRONG.
Oh, MTV. MTV, MTV, MTV. I’m tempted to start out saying that I’m sad MTV isn’t what it used to be and that I miss the videos. However, there are three problems with that. Look at me, getting all three-point thesisy over here. Putting that MA to work once again. One, I don’t have cable […]
Well, This Is Awkward: Pinterest Edition
When Cameron told me about Pinterest a hundred years ago, I checked it out. Surprise, surprise: I didn’t like it. Where the heck were all these pictures even coming from? I doubted the credibility of their pretty. Why were they assaulting my eyes in a little tiled way, expecting me to organize them into boards? […]
My Brief Foray Into Competitive Swimming
I don’t think it’s going to come as much of a surprise to you that I was not a big sports person when I was a kid, namely because I just used the phrase “big sports person” in a sentence. There isn’t a competitive bone in my body, and if I have a choice between […]
Where I’ve Been, What I Did
The other day I was thinking about how my life really isn’t all that interesting. There are some bloggers who have 17 kids and appear to be doing something 1000% of the time and therefore center their blogs around their daily activities with very little analysis. I love these blogs because they are like soap […]
I’m going to talk a little about Elvis. I’m from Memphis, so it was bound to happen eventually.
I thought I could excuse myself from the Remember That Time festivities this week because I’m currently in my hometown of Memphis visiting friends and family, but I quickly learned that it’s pretty near impossible to co-host a nostalgia linkup and avoid writing about that town when all the memories are just begging to be […]
