Birthday Tribute: Liz
It was Liz’s birthday yesterday and I owed her a birthday tribute. Usually I just post a picture and tell you how much I love the person, but Liz and I have a special relationship. So I’ve decided to tell you the top 5 reasons I love her:
- She was a really talented actress in 4th grade! In 4th grade, Liz was Toodles the Lost Boy in Peter Pan. I was an unnamed Lost Boy. Subsequent roles were a little less robust with Liz playing an orphan in Oliver, the mayor’s daughter (made up part) in Bye Bye Birdie, and the understudy to the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. But you should know she started at the top.
- She had a whole separate birthday party in 8th grade just so that I could be invited to one! In 8th grade, Liz and I both transferred to Baldwin from Strath Haven Middle School. Liz’s Strath Haven friends told her they wouldn’t go to her birthday party if I was there (because I was a nerd), so Liz threw a separate party for her new Baldwin friends. Wasn’t that nice of her? She also told me all of the horrible rumors that had been spread about me while I’d been in public school that I didn’t know about…
- She’s teaching me to become a really great Philean. It’s not going particularly well, but she gets bonus points for trying so hard.
- She supports, enables, and pushes my online stalking. Seriously, if we had gym class together in 6th grade, Liz and I are probably trying to find out exactly what you’re up to. Also, if Liz has friended you on Facebook and you don’t know why because you haven’t talked since 6th grade… it’s probably because we wanted to stalk your profile.
- She tolerates all of my neuroses. Seriously, if you think I’m bad with you, you should know that I’m officially 10x worse with Liz. Promise.
Here’s to all the good times we’ve shared, Liz:

The best news in the world
Everything is summed up best by Barry at Deadspin:
So they spent more money than anyone else. So they didn’t have to wait as long as anyone else. Ask us fans if it feels any less amazing. It doesn’t.

Best advice Ellie’s ever given
Ellie’s answer to pretty much every problem I’ve had in the last week or so has been to put this song on and dance around my apartment. I dare you to do the same. You’ll be the happiest camper in the world.

Another WTF Sandra Lee moment
In her comment on my last Sandra Lee post, Liz P brought up Sandra’s tablescapes. Here’s an excellent example of the absurdity that passes for decor on semi-homemade.
Starting at 1:09, check out the “Italian-inspired” tablescape:
Yes, that’s right kiddos, that’s a CHAIR SPRAY-PAINTED AND COVERED WITH FLORAL GARLANDS, SITTING ON TOP OF THE TABLE. It’s so meta.
