Whew!

Thank God for quizzes.

You Are Probably Not Pregnant

It seems like you're in the clear, but you should really take a test to be sure.

Are You Pregnant?

My first Mulberry Bag!

This quiz is for Chris

Awwwww.

He's a Great Boyfriend

You guy definitely loves you and knows how to treat you right. You have a five star boyfriend - so make sure you treat him right too!

Is He a Good Boyfriend?

Team Angelina

I can't stop doing these quizzes.

You Are More Like Angelina Jolie

Bad girl with a heart of gold. You are smart, sexy, and strong willed. You aren't against stealing another girl's man... If he's better off with you!

Are You More Like Jennifer or Angelina?

It's a sign!

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Chris! This is what I want for Christmas!

It's hip to be racist against the Chinese

How did this racist bull shit,

1. Make it to the production lines of Alessi.
2. Make it to the pages of Toronto Life.

I’ll be writing a letter to both and I encourage any one else who thinks this shit is just plain racist, please do so as well.

I guess Rosie O’Donnell has made racism toward Chinese people hip again.

My Wish List

Every year I get asked, “What do you want for Christmas?” Every year I have the same answer, “Nothing.” For the past few years, people have been giving me gift certificates and I have yet to use about 70% of them. I even got this $100 gift certificate for the Future Shop from work and I gave it away to Chris. There is absolutely nothing that I have wanted to buy since I got back from Italy. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Until now.

I’ve become fairly obsessed with two people over the past few years — Ina Garten and Nigella Lawson. Both are domestic goddesses — Nigella in a more rustic way and Ina in a more polished, East-Hampton way. Both are hotties — Nigella in a more old-school screen siren way and Ina in a more Leave It Beaver, matronly fashion.

For Christmas this year, I wouldn’t mind a cookbook from the fine collection of either one of these ladies. That’s it. That’s all I could think of. So if I exchange gifts with you on a yearly basis over the holidays, this is all I got for you to go on.


(Unless your name happens to rhyme with "miss" and you sleep in the same bed as me a few times a week. For people that fit this profile, only the Cartier Love Bracelet will do.)

Sicky McSickerson

It’s friggin cold outside and I have a cold. Boo hoo for me. I haven’t left my house in about 48 hours and I don’t plan to for at least another 24.

Top 5 things that I crave when I am sick:

1. My mommy. Doesn’t matter if your 5 or 50, moms are the best cure for the common cold. Mine’s in Laos right now. :(
2. McChicken sandwiches. I remember being really little and really sick and when I was able to eat solid foods again, my parents brought me a McChicken sandwich. It was one of the very few times that we were allowed to have McDonald’s. Every time I’m sick I want a McChicken sandwich. Damn you McDonald’s.
3. Neo Citran. I love me some Neo Citran. I love it almost as much as I love Gravol when I’m flying. Nothing beats being knocked out cold by over-the-counter drugs.
4. Sleeping! For someone who has spent most of her life in a state of sleep deprivation, allowing myself the luxury of 10-12 hours of sleep per day is the best thing ever.
5. Sympathy. I am big old baby when I’m sick and I absolutely love being babied by anyone who will take the time to do it.
