Weeks are long. Ohio is muggy. Sunday’s are dirty. Let’s relive it together.
So, before I go into why I will be in New York City in a week to be on television, probably half naked, let’s just spend the day getting that visual out of our heads and trying to resist the urge to shave our heads, because, OH THE HUMIDITY.
Ok so first, if you didn’t get a chance yet, check out where I talk about how much I blow at coaching my kid’s soccer team.
Second, I would love for you to buy the book, Stories I’ve Only Told My Mom. It’s only $4.99. You can buy it for your eReader or to download and read on your computer. It’s also now available for kindle on Amazon! Oh also, I am in it. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but I talk about losing my virginity and how my dad hates my period.
Third, one of my favorite things is meeting amazing new people, and I got the chance to hang out with the COOLEST WOMEN ON THE PLANET. I met up with Brandi and Kyle at a local Mexican cantina, famous for their knock you on your ass margaritas. Oh, Andy tagged along also, and on the way home, he stated, at minimum four times, that it was the funnest night ever, he and is normally super crabby and never talks, so this was totally a big deal. It honestly didn’t hurt that they were both absolutely gorgeous. He has a hard life. Anyways, Kyle is the owner of Barley & Birch, and if you haven’t seen it, it’s just this little world changing mega company that does more good in four seconds than I do all day. Oh, and they make kids clothes that make me drool. Ladies, it was such a blast, let’s please do it again as soon as humanly possible.
Fourth, it’s almost summer, which means it’s almost, officially, Andy’s least favorite time of year. The time when we have this conversation about 400 times.
Lastly, you know what makes me happy?
And, you would know all of that if you followed me on Pinterest. Because, really, who needs clean clothes or warm meals or shaved armpits, when I can create a virtual pin board of everything I love and covet, OMG it’s like the new Amazon Wish List, only better, because now I can show it to Andy and he has to look at it, unlike when I send him my monthly Wish List that he has marked as Spam, don’t think I don’t know, Andrew.
If you are already on Pinterest, I’d love to follow you, and if you aren’t let me know, and I will fire off an invite to you.
(Yes. It’s apparently by invite only at this time. Much like GMail was in 2004.)
(Fact: I bought my GMail invite on eBay for $5.00. I am that kind of nerd.)
(I also still have 900 remaining Google Wave invites, if anyone needs one. No? It opened to the public in 2010? It doesn’t even exist anymore because it was the stupidest platform ever? Well, that was a waste of $5.)







Shaving my head before NY would probably be a bad idea, right? I think a shaved head would take away the focus from my possible 1/2 nakedness. Right?!?!
You are my favorite, by far.
What is pintrest? And yes invite me please =]
Oh and tell me more about NYC–why are you going there and when should I be stalking the telly to see your half-nakedness?
Done!
I’ve been waiting to find someone to invite me to Pinterest! Please! :)
Invited!
I totally want to be on pinterest and, obviously, taking my sweet time to sign up screwed me so I need an invite :) Aleksija at ymail dot com
Got ya!
Naked in NYC, sounds epic!
I’m following you on Pinterest, though I thought I had before but apparently not, so I am now. I’m Staceylynn42
I am very curious about pinterest. If you would, I would totally appreciate an invite. By the way, I loved reading about you coaching soccer. I hate parents that run the team like boot camp. However, that isn’t to say that keeping score should be ignored. Having fun is important, but I also think keeping score is important… it builds character.
Ok, invited!
Yeah, there has to be a happy, non murderous, medium here. Like, losing with flair, or winning with civility.
Thanks for the invite!
Apparently I need an invite to Pinterest, I love these “exclusive” clubs.. lol.
Sent!
OOOOO, invite me, dahling! I have about 4 free seconds a day, and filling that with even more computer time sounds like something I’d do!
Exactly. Sent:)
If you have more pinterest invites, I’d love one! Never heard of it before, but it looks amazingly fun! cmasters AT gmail.com
It’s way too fun, invite sent!
Invite me to pinterest please!
Invite sent!
ooh! I’ve seen pininterest all over the place! It seems lovely and after about a month of debating, I think I’m finally ready to spend way too much time on that particular site–if you do have any more invites, I would love one.
Thanks!
-K
I do, and yours has been sent.
Invite me please!
Of course!
Thank you! Now to find people to stalk…err…follow
Holy Crap!! You mean I could have been selling Gmail invites back in the day?? I am always the last to know! I would also love an invite to Pinterest if you are still handing the out! Looks neat!
Yep, to idiots like me! Invited!
Pintrest?! I’m so in (Please!) and I kind of miss the humidity…because, well, that means rain…and I miss my Michigan rain storms, you don’t get those here in Austin :(
I’d get sick of it after an hour, though :)
I bought my gmail invite on a gmail swap website. I had to make a donation to charity in order to get my invite. Worth every nerdy penny.
I would love to follow you on pinterest as well. You keep me sane during the work day! jcnchip @ yahoo.com
I would love to follow you on pintrest! I need another internet addiction. loves2spend16 @ yahoo.com
Me, please! Been meaning to try that out.
I really need to know what Pinterest is. I will follow you anywhere Brittany!
I want to pintrest!!!! I am so curious to know what you’re doing in New York next week that will leave you half naked on TV!
Eeee! I just started following all your boards. I have to go repin that Bill Murray shirt now…
Barley & Birch is sold at the Pebble Spa Co., which is a FABULOUS spa in MN. Seriously outstanding massages, baths, etc. The deep tissue massage makes you feel like you got run over by a truck, but in a good way. Totally recommend it.
So I totally added myself to the wait list when I saw your tweet about pinterest. But if you’d just invite me I could start singing your praises immediately all over the place. Also I feel like we were separated at birth. That is all.
Pinterest reminds me of Tumbler, but newer and therefore more exclusive. Like the downtown clubs that won’t let me in because I don’t know the doorman with the CIA ear piece. Anyway, I’m looking forward to downloading the book on Kindle and writing a review sooner than later.
Do you still have invites? I requested one on the web-site, but want to be on RIGHT NOW! So addicting and a great way to see others ideas. Thank you for putting this drug in my face! I will never get anything done, except pin, pin, pin!
I sent a request to pinterest for an invite, would it be quicker if you hooked me up?
Ok, I think i have them all out to this point, did anyone not get one?
If you still have a Pinterest invite, I’d love one. Thanks! (ericandmelody[at]gmail[dot]com. Ohio is muggy. Today is just gross. I’m in Cincinnati.
Pintrest invite…pretty please with tequila lime and salt on top.
can I meet the girls and have margaritas when I am there this week?
I love everything on your pintrest!! Please invite me if you have any left…do they limit them? Anyway, please!!
Thank you!!
Yay! Another pinaddict! I am far too obsessed with this place and spend more hours on it than I’d care to admit to my boss. Fired for pinning….hopefully it won’t become the new fired for blogging. Eeek….
Can I get an invite!?
Frenchi2976 at yahoo dot com
DOOD. How’d you get so many pinterest invites? Is it because people actually read your blog, unlike mine? ;-) I JUST started following you. Follow back, por fav-or? angiegaz is my u/n.
Invite me pleeeeease! I’m a total consumer and this sounds up my alley. P.s. My husband is an anti-social crank ass, too. Drives me batshit.
okay… i have to see what all the fuss is about. please invite me too. thanks!
PLEASE invite me to Pinterest!!!!
I signed up for Pinterest and I’ve done nothing with it. Does that mean I’m not interested in anything or just lazy?
{It is the second one.}
I’d love a pinterest invite!
I was gonna be so mad if the series of pics of awesome things you love didn’t end with a Pinterest link. Pinterest is my new favorite thing EVER.
Ooh, Pinterest sounds fun and like an excellent way to waste time I don’t really have. If you’ve still got invites, may I have one, please? Thanks!
ooo please send me an invite!!
I just joined something like that called Wanelo. But you don’t have to be invited to join this site! LOL. They have some awesome shiz on there though!
I totally started pintrest stalking you last night. I’m so addicted to that site that my kids are lucky they got fed today.
Trying to write something witty, but failed. So instead, I would love an invite.
Can I get an invite. I’ve been looking for new ways to procrastinate!
Thanks!
Elizabeth
That looks amazing…. I think I wana pin some stuff…. Please.
I would please like an invite please :-)
I’m intrigued by pinterest. If you have an invite to spare I would love one!
