NFL Quarterbacks on Facebook: Super Bowl XLVII Edition

You guys, the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl. My team was crowned the 2012-2013 NFL Champions. This may not seem like much to most people, but it’s a BIG FREAKING DEAL to someone whose two favorite teams (the Knicks and the Ravens) have yielded countless disappointments and heartaches for more than a decade.

So when the game clock ran down to zero with Baltimore still up by 3…

I cried. Seriously, I had tears in my eyes as I saw the purple and gold confetti rain down on the Ravens and watched them accept the Lombardi Trophy.

(In my defense, I had had an extremely trying week in the days leading up to the big game; I was overly emotional and awfully tired.)

Today I am still recovering from the poo sundae that was last week and the ridiculous excitement of last night’s win. So when J sent me this link to a pretend Facebook conversation between NFL quarterbacks, I literally LOLed (more than once!) and knew that I had to share it here.

I guarantee you’ll love it even if you’re not a Ravens fan — anyone with any sort of knowledge on the NFL is sure to get a laugh out of this!

How a Key Works

You guys, it's sooooo cold. And sooo windy.

Alas, the life of a SAHM does not allow such indulgence. And while my body may be feeling better, my mind still seems to be under the weather so I am completely without blogging inspiration. But fear not, for I am working on an exciting giveaway, which I hope to have up by the end of the week! Hint: it's beauty-related, so I know a lot of y'all will be into it! In the meantime, I...

From Dating to Messaging to Texting

Over the weekend, I read a NYTimes article titled The End of Courtship? which questions the new millennials' methods of dating — or, in this case, not dating. Instead of dinner-and-a-movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other "non-dates" that are leaving a generation confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend. Traditional courtship — picking up the telephone and asking someone on a date — required courage, strategic planning and a considerable investment of ego (by telephone, rejection stings). Not so with texting, e-mail, Twitter or other forms of "asynchronous communication," as techies call it. In the context of dating, it removes much of the need for charm; it's...
