Stop Staring at Me, Sir

You know how when you go to the gym before work in the winter, and it’s cold so you have to bundle up, so you put on your shorts and tank top, then throw huge sweats over it so you don’t freeze on the walk there?  And you know how sometimes you get to the gym, snag the nearest treadmill, and peel off your sweats as fast as you can, because you are crunched for time? And you know how sometimes you pull down the sweatpants, and then realize you never put on the shorts?

No? Ok so just me then.

Statistics

I’m so excited about the number of views my blog has gotten, I don’t even care that 90% of them are most definitely my stalker ex-boyfriend, refreshing his browser every 5 seconds while adding me to his “People to Kill” list, Billy Madison style.

The other 10% are my mom, repeatedly typing the full URL (http://www. included) and yelling, “Steve– am I doing this right?”

In more certain statistics, I am 100% sure my sister has neither looked at my blog nor knows what a blog is.

Happy Hanukkah

While tutoring, the kid hands me a pouch of chocolate gelt…

Kid: “I got you this for Hanukkah!”
Me: “Aww, thanks kiddo! I love gelt!”
Kid: “Really?”
Me: “Of course!”
Kid: “Ok good. Because I WANTED to get you a REALLY nice gift like the one I got my teacher for Christmas, but my Mom said Hanukkah is not really the most important holiday for jewish people. Like it’s not like how Christmas is for us.”
Me: “Well, that’s actually true– your mom is a smart lady!”

Your mom is an anti-semite.
