I’m not a bandwagon kind of gal most of the time, but occasionally there’s something that is so funny that I can’t resist. That is the case with Jon Stewart and his parody of Mitch McConnell.

60 Days In: Still Blogging
In comparison to the length of time many writers have devoted to their blogs, mine is in its infancy. But since I never plan to birth a child, I’m going to consider it my baby, take a page from first-time parents everywhere, and celebrate Awkward Laughter’s milestones in months this first year.
Don’t worry. I won’t bore you with a post each time. I already skipped January. But this one, or more specifically, the 60-day mark jumped out at me.
Sixty days is:
- Twice as long as I spent training for my first 10K
- Ten times as long as my last vacation

My Meh 2013 According to Facebook – Part 2
…continued from “My Meh 2013 According to Facebook Part 1”
Sitting on my couch, a glass of my favorite Sauvignon Blanc in hand (and another one already in my belly), I clicked on my Facebook 2013 Year in Review for the second time.
I cringed once again at the selection of photos rotating at the top. Most were boring. Many were unflattering. Only one reflected what I thought was truly memorable from the past year. Continue reading
My Meh 2013 According to Facebook – Part 1
A few weeks back I got the friendly notification from Facebook that my Year in Review was available. I happily clicked it remembering the fun I’d had reliving 2012. My expected joy quickly turned to horror.
There, rotating in Facebook’s photo montage, were a handful of images of some fun but not extremely exciting times in my life.
