I was not kidding about that pony.  I feel that in honor of my birthday, I should suspend the usual snark fueled list in order to honor some things that make me giggle with glee.  So, here are ten of many in no particular order.

  1. Benetint. I don’t know how else I can say it.
  2. Crispy rice spicy tuna.
  3. Have I ever told you about Smitty? 
  4. Love.  Surprisingly enough… I love love.  So hard.
  5. Prosecco.
  6. My beloved friends… though I often have to Photoshop us into the same place for us to all be together. 
  7. Shiny things and chandeliers.
  8. Classic television, ie; Golden Girls, Cheers, Who’s the Boss, Designing Women, Full House, The Nanny … (yes, I’m old).
  9. My pink HB cashmere robe.
  10. Any good reason to celebrate and deck myself out.

Happy birthday to me (and the rest of you Capriquarius kids).

The List Volume LXIII

Just as time marches on, so do the lists.  You didn’t think that 2012 would be any less annoying than years past, did you?  With the onslaught of new reality TV, celebutards, and fashion delinquents, the best is yet to come.  Bring it on 2012!

  1. Bubble Lounge.  This may very well be one of the worst places in New York City.
  2. Rainboots in the airport.  Call me an optimist, but I think you, me and Terminal B are in the clear as far as rain showers are concerned. 
  3. Magazine covers that are so photoshopped I have to actually read the headlines to figure out who the covergirl is.
  4. People who post photos of other people who could look like them (with enough photo filters and if I squint my eyes) and pretend it’s them.  That’s just weird.
  5. Kanye West.  Just please stop talking… and tweeting.
  6. People who think they are funny.  Mostly because people who think they’re funny usually aren’t.
  7. Season 5 of Jersey Shore.  Seriously, are we still doing this?  Is there even anything left to smush?
  8. Can we stop speaking like valley girls and using abbreviations for everything?  OMG, that’s AMAZE, obvs!
  9. There are so many problems with this video (and yes, it’s for real).  First of which: muffins and cupcakes are not the same thing. (Thanks, Cat).
  10. ESPN commentators apparently need some geography lessons… not to mention some practice in current events seeing as they don’t know where West Virginia is, nor do they know who Michelle Obama is.  As a matter of fact, all on air media personalities should probably do their homework before speaking. Don’t just talk for the sake of talking.

As the years go by, they seem to pass faster and faster.  I really can’t believe how quickly this year went by.  A good way to revisit and remember 2011 was by going back through all of WhyDid’s posts and choosing my favorites.  I figured it would be pretty easy cause I couldn’t have possibly written more than 12 posts that were awesome… but it proved much more difficult than anticipated.

Throughout the year, we uncovered trends, divulged our dating secrets, re-vamped our closets and poked fun at silly celebrities.  We covered everything from ombre hair to top knots to matzo ball soup to Lana Del Rey.  It was a busy year, yet somehow, some way, I was able to pick out twelve of my favorite posts from this year to ring in 2012.

  1. Do you have a case of the ex?
  2. Don’t you dare grasp for straws.
  3. Can you teach an old dog new tricks?
  4. Remember when you were 18?
  5. Love will come when you least expect it.
  6. How come you don’t do what you love?
  7. Friends come, friends go. Are you my BFFN?
  8. Sex and the City isn’t real life.
  9. Never forget it’s the thought that counts.
  10. Unless, of course, that thought only lasts for the next 72 days.
  11. And of course, I partied in party pants.

What were your favorite posts from 2011?

The List Volume LXII

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, I had nothing to wear… not even a blouse.  The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, but it doesn’t matter til I’m done with my hair…

I’m no Grinch.  There are so many things I love about Christmastime, but let’s be serious… it can’t all be snowflakes and reindeer.  Let’s break down some of the beyond obnoxious parts about Christmas.  Be sure to leave your Christmas gripes in the comments.

  1. The pressure to pretend my Christmas is SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN YOURS AND I’M GOING TO DOCUMENT IT ALL ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, and ANY OTHER PLATFORM YOU CAN STALK ME ON.  Who are we kidding?  I’m hanging out with family doing the same thing you are.
  2. People who go into debt over holiday shopping.
  3. Candy canes.  Hate to point out the obvious but they’re just glorified peppermints- ‘cept harder to eat when you get down to that dumb hook part.
  4. Small talk with estranged family members.  Pass the yams, please.  I can’t explain what a blog is again.
  5. Gratuitous Facebook gift updates.  This isn’t acceptable past the age of 9.  And if you’re 9, then you shouldn’t even be on Facebook (or reading this blog).
  6. Having to feign delight over a truly shitastic gift.  Makes a gift card seem s a whole lot more appealing.
  7. Receiving an orange in your stocking.  I mean, come on.  That’s just filler.
  8. Knowing that my Christmas card (and smiling face) is about one week away from the garbage can.
  9. Your “Christmas Eve” outfit pics.  That’s cool, cause I’m in a giant T-shirt and leggings with a glass of wine and silly socks.
  10. Stowing away all the Christmas decorations and taking down the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Oh hey guys, I’ve been under the weather… hence my disappearing act.  While laying in bed cursing both left and right nostrils, I’ve had plenty of time to think about things that suck.  Here’re just a few.

  1. The Chipmunk movie.  Not everything needs to be re-visited. 
  2. Razor scooters.  If you’re over the age of, let’s say eight, and still riding one, you’re doing it wrong.
  3. Your artsy emo photos.  Not even Instagram is gonna make that apple more interesting.
  4. Facial piercings… unless, of course, you’re Rooney Mara.  Then you can do whatever you want.
  5. “Nom, nom, nom.”  I can’t even put into words what seeing this makes me want to do.  I hate mouth noises in real life… let alone your ridiculous simulated status update ones.
  6. Speaking of food related status updates.  No one wants to see a picture of your shitty dinner or stupid vodka tonic.  If your food is in the shape or Mount Rushmore or perhaps there’s liquid nitrogen coming out of your glass, maybe- maybe– I’m interested.  Otherwise, you’re just taking up space in my feed.
  7. Hey Sofia Vergara- we’ve been over this.  Leggings are NOT pants. 
  8. Parking spot vultures.
  9. Tile countertops.
  10. Mascara commercials that clearly use fake eyelashes and/or CGI.  No mascara is that good.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to drown my sorrows in Nyquil.
