Today just feels weird. People are in weird moods. Everything seems hostile. And I keep telling myself “just start new now” but nothing’s really changing. I need a shift! Coffee time, perhaps?!
This is so my day today!
It All Started At An Egg Factory...
“Dear Rachelle
This money Grandma Rose gave me as a Series EE Bond in 1984. She earned it by working at the egg factory in David City. Apply it to a lap top and thank her in your own way. I enjoyed Easter weekend so much because you were here. Please remember how much I love you and continue to live life with passion.
Love, Dad.”

Questions I’ve been asked by 3 of my closest friends in the last 24 hours:
What is Twitter?
What is Digg?
What exactly do you do?
Sometimes I feel like I live, simultaneously, in two different worlds.
I know the feeling.
Me too.
When Your Work Becomes Your Life
Last night I had a dream (no joke) that Chris Confessore and I were painting an apartment with Julia, Mary, and Meghan, aka the nonsociety girls with bad credit scores. We were arguing over walls of hot pink or hot purple. I woke up sweating. Chris was sick today from work. Coincidence?

Email From My "Could-Be-In-Better-Shape" Father:
Promise me you’ll take me to Blue Ribbon chicken coop for the skillet fried, crispy mouth watering smart chicken the next time I come to New York… and I’ll be there before you can say ”cluck, cluck.” Love, Dad
Email from a 4 year old:
Dear Aunt Rachelle, I wish you would send me a lot of those pictures. I have a snorkel mask and toy fish. We have an amaryllis that is so big. William loves fish and tractors. I will draw you a nice picture. Curious George and Clifford are my favorite shows. I celebrated 2009 at Nature Preschool. I miss you. Love, William

Great Idea

When I was little my reward for doing my chores was to not get in trouble. Lately my reward is nothing, so my room is a mess and I don’t really do a thing as far as cleaning. Uh. Today, I decided I need a reward, and it’s going to be margaritas. Let’s just say the disssssssshhes are done.
One of those days....
Have you ever had one of those days where no matter what you do, NOTHING turns out how you need it to? You begin to think there might not be a single person you know that you can trust, and you are certain that NOBODY has it as horrible as you do right now. I tried everything to shake it: Fluidity, Pedicure, Hummus, Oatmeal cookie (vegan), and even writing long lost loves and best friends...
Twitter Talk
I decided to start a personal twitter account, (gofg already has one), except I don’t know what I’m supposed to be twittering and the whole thing just seems like a HUGE waste of my time. Cajun Boy has tried to encourage me, but I’m just not feeling it. I know the whole text message thing “40404” but is there something else I’m missing here???? Why do you kids...

FROM RACHELLE……………
1. What do you miss the most about not living in NYC? There are many things I miss about living in NYC - I miss having the ability to have any type of food delivered to my door at any time of the day or night especially the sushi I had delivered to me many times. I also miss walking to and from work every day. It was very refreshing to wake up...

The Five Memes
I’m participating in this meme seen on my sister Renee’s blog in which she asked me five questions. And (For Your Information) I don’t care how 2001 this is, I think it’s rad: 1. Five years ago, what did you imagine you would be doing today?Looking down children’s throats in my medical school residency. That or still working at Banana Republic and trying to...
On why I'm glad Facebook didn't exist when I was...
Seriously, can you imagine having some of your high school photos as digital pictures online for people to actually see? I think that maybe 1 out of every 25 pictures taken of me came out decent enough to use in scrapbooks, the rest were burned. It’s great having a brother in high school. Mainly because I can satisfy my stalker-esque tendencies by rummaging through his friends photos. ...

“Lockhart is like the Godfather for you people.”
– My guest, last night. I thought the password was “Nachos” btw (it was “Tacos”). On the coldest night of the year. I’m not sure how long it took him to finally okay us in, Lockhart may not be “The Godfather” but he sure as hell can throw a good party.
On Deciphering Emails From People You've Never Met...
I just got back from a meeting with Danny Shea at Epistrophy, one of my favorite neighborhood joints. Danny writes at Huffington Post and we had a really inspiring conversation about the direction of new media, how much we like The Daily Beast, why ordering soy milk isn’t even close to being unique in NYC and the confusion over typing messages to people you don’t know.
