Humor Relationships Friends http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/archive/87.html Wed, 31 May 2006 16:15:36 GMT It's been almost a year since I last posted, so I hope at least a few of you guys are still with me. Today I'll give the update, and then I promise I'll start making actual entries again. Since we last talked, I got married! I now have two little bands on either side of the fat diamond I told you about. We got married in August. The wedding was perfect! We had it at the church where I met Damian (I found him on a scavenger hunt. I think I won.). The bridesmaids had red dresses and carried red roses and big red gerber daisies with a little bit of dark orange and dark chartreuse green...

They aren't necessarily things that fit into a specific top ten list, they're just things that stick out in my mind as things that need to be shared, should such-and-such subject come up. I suppose if I were forced to come up with a name for this list, it would be: Top Ten Things Every Southern Woman Knows. 1. You will never again feel like you did that summer night you took a jar outside and caught fireflies in it. Fortunately, you will also never again feel the way you did the next morning when you realized...

Ben is 25, and already he has thick lines in his forehead and when you look into his eyes, he always seems like he’s looking at you and at something else that you’ll never be able to see. I met Ben when his sister and my sister were roommates about 10 years ago, and he and I naturally became friends a few years later when we both went to the same college. I was in the hospital with Ben a couple of years ago on the day before Thanksgiving. He and his sister had started their drive home to Florida, and gotten in a crash...

This movie was so incredibly boring that, when we got to the part where I realized that Ben Affleck would be half naked in a bath tub, I DIDN'T CARE. This movie effectively ruined Ben Affleck for me, and for that, I will never forgive it. And as Jane reminded me, Titanic and Legends of the Fall were no picnics either. http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/comments?id=84 http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/archive/83.html Mon, 07 Mar 2005 16:40:35 GMT Okay, guys. I was talking to one of my friends the other day about the WORST movies I had ever seen, and I have decided to include you guys in the discussion. Just to get you started, here's a TOP TEN LIST of the MOVIES WHICH MAKE ME WANT TO SCOOP MY EYES OUT WITH A DULL SPOON SO I DON'T EVER HAVE TO SEE THEM AGAIN: 1. Showgirls. Starring the desparate-to-break-out-of-her-goody-twoshoes-reputation Elizabeth Berkeley. If you haven't seen it, DO NOT rent it. Instead, watch the version they show repeatedly on TBS. This movie is so completely awful that it's almost achingly beautiful. ...

Degrees of separation = were in a movie together at some point.) Anyway, I ran across this site, which does the job for you: www.oracleofbacon.org . Enjoy. http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/comments?id=82 http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/archive/81.html Wed, 02 Mar 2005 19:12:24 GMT So yesterday I began to freak out. I'm e-mailing back and forth with Jack, catching up, and he's informing me about his newly reinstated single status. (He's fabulous and back on the market, ladies!) So we're talking (writing) about the pros and cons of singlehood and my totally taken state, and he says, "looks like the BF has become more of an F (fiance)." My eyes flew open and I had one thought: Suck. That's an all-purpose curse word blatantly stolen from Lillian. It hit me. You would think that after the many trips to the jewelry store to "browse" and "get ideas" (the...

For those of you who (whom? Please don’t write and tell me which one goes here – people who (whom?) know the correct usage make me nervous) have been living under a rock lately, someone (who shall remain nameless – NATHAN) hacked into Paris’s T-Mobile and stole her phone number list. So all these famous people (most of whom would have to be boiled before you could touch them) are getting calls from Joe Blow. I love it. But really, is it CNN-worthy? Come on. Then I realized that I spend a lot of...

We’ve been doing this for about a week now. Yes, we are that serious. He went to meet the parents a couple of weeks ago (an event which was pulled off with much mutual admiration among the parties, thank you very much), and since then we’ve been talking about the Four C’s of diamond shopping and the difference between platinum and white gold. Believe it or not, this is not freaking me out. And that’s how you know it’s love, peeps. So we’re at the mall going through the jewelry stores so that he can get an idea what I like....

We headed off to the mountains of Tennessee for a short stint in Hickville. It was snowing when we got there (a treat just for the Alabama girl) and we headed into the warmth of a Nanny's house where we were greeted by the smell of chicken and dumplings and hugs all around (even from those who didn't know me). We ate our fill and then some and went to spend some time at the store. Damian's (the boyfriend's) family runs a... (more) http://maggiegrace.blogdrive.com/comments?id=78
