YOU'RE FREE TO TAKE YOUR CONVERSATION OUTSIDE!!!

One would think that writing a recap of my time in Chicago would be Real Simple, but that has not been the case.

Because my life is complicated (and by "complicated" I mean the complete opposite of "Real Simple".)

Hopefully I'll have something up by tomorrow (as if anyone will still care by then. Please? Still care.) and then we can all move on to more important stories, like, The Crazy Old Lady Who is Stalking Me and Who Banged on My Window Today.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Don't be closin' up yer comments! :)

I have never even HEARD of Real Simple. But I do live in Omaha, where we don't have culture yet (it has not been invented here).

i would like to officially state that i still care...and also that i would have loved to enjoy one of your hamburgers, but i was already drunk when you told me what room the party was in, so i was reduced to drinking at random bars all night while looking at my friend aimee and saying 'dude...i think it started with a 2...'
p.s.
i have heard of 'real simple,' though. i've also heard that you had some 'real simple' drama, and i can't wait to hear about it.

wanna hug? here's one *hug* and tell that crazy lady that if she doesn't leave you alone a crazy, large woman from germany will come and kick her rear. jawohl!

PS: and i totally mean that. i'll be in long beach/los angeles in november, so she'd better watch it!

Posted by: kim at August 2, 2007 12:30 AM

Itr sounds like those people were 'real simple' minded.

Posted by: nila at August 2, 2007 02:17 AM

shit dude, i should tell my neighbor who works for that joint to tell her minions to back the fuck off.

Sitting on my hands, eagerly awaiting all of your fun tales. (And don't tease us with crazy ladies banging on the windows!)

Posted by: The Therapist at August 2, 2007 06:09 AM

You so know that we are going to wait and care because you rock but that isn't nice to tease us with stories from BlogHer and stories of crazy stalker ladies. That's just not nice.

Posted by: Danielle at August 2, 2007 06:45 AM

I can't believe they treated you guys like that. What a bunch of snobby, elitist, overly pretentious bitches. Don't they know better than not to mess with Y FROM THE INTERNET???

Oh, how I wish I was there...

Posted by: Brandi at August 2, 2007 06:55 AM

How dare they treat you that way! I can't wait until the RS crew figures out how much they've screwed up.

Posted by: Katie at August 2, 2007 07:26 AM

OMFG! They did that to my Y?? F U RS.

Like all the letters? I was going for a theme. *lol*

They totally snubbed the coolest girls at the party. Big mistake, RS.

I read about this story over at Lindsay's! How rude!

Um, is Real Simple affiliated with Martha Stewart somehow? I thought she was an EXPERT at good etiquette?

Posted by: Kim at August 2, 2007 08:13 AM

I care!

Posted by: silverblue at August 2, 2007 08:40 AM

Like I told Lindsey, I'm so sad I wasn't there to sit in the back and giggle with you. Something tells me they'd yell at me, even if I was the one wearing my own nametag.

I'm sorry about your complicated life and your stalker.

Posted by: Mom101 at August 2, 2007 09:49 AM

Loved crashing with you, Y...and the room party was the bomb. Thanks for being the hostess with the mostess and bean dip to boot. :)

Posted by: Kimberly at August 2, 2007 09:51 AM

such a tease. Out with it already....just kidding :P

Posted by: DOMESTIC DIVA at August 2, 2007 12:01 PM

I MUST hear about the crazy stalking lady. And keep it coming with the Blogher stories. Everybody apologizes for repeating what everyone else has said, but I love to read it all in case someday I would ever get to go!

Posted by: Bunny at August 2, 2007 01:09 PM

I hate that magazine anyway. Bitches! Snubbing you! Bitches!

Posted by: Bronwen at August 2, 2007 07:40 PM

Y, I just got home from seeing "Larry and Chuck" with your beloved Kevin James....that man is too funny. Thought about you while I watched!

Posted by: Tammy at August 2, 2007 09:07 PM

Give it up. You know I love crazy lady stories.

Posted by: Wacky Mommy at August 3, 2007 06:14 AM

Aw Hell Naw! Crazy lady stalking ya and bangin' on yer window? You're really going to leave us hangin' like that? Where's the love?

And! Yeah, totally wrong in a Real Simple way what those skinny biotches did to you and your bloggin' posse.

Posted by: Melissa at August 3, 2007 07:13 AM

No worries. We all have days like that, or at least most of us do.
Cheers

Posted by: mcewen at August 3, 2007 11:38 AM

UGH!! I am er, make that was obsessed with this magazine!! I feel so betrayed, they seemed so genuinly interested in helping me organize my pantry.
First Martha Stewart and now this....

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
