i don't call boys by their names...

it's just something i do. i've realized that i don't ever refer to boys i talk about by their names when i am talking to friends or someone who isn't them. recently i was talking to my cousin and i was talking about a few different guys... there was pharmy (a guy who is a pharmacist), dentist boy, the comedian, Chicago (where this one lived), and potential (yes, i actually referred to someone as potential). i think it's hilarious and was just wondering if anyone else does this or if it is just me being weird me.

i have officially declared boston meteorologists the worst in the country. or i have decided that anyone can be a meteorologist. go outside, tell us if it's cold or not, then predict some sort of weather for the next couple of hours and you are officially a weatherman(woman). granted, the system that moved through DC this week was pretty intense, but aren't they supposed to know if the storm is going to die down and not be as intense by the time it gets here. aren't there barometers to measure atmospheric pressures or something. the whole state was in a panic because we were supposed to get so much snow... blah, blah. so most of us stayed home from work afraid that we would get stuck at work if the snow was really going to be that bad. well, i woke up, there were snow flakes. then is stopped. then there was heavier snow. it melted as it hit surfaces. then it stopped. there was more towards the end of the day and into the night. total accumulation less than 1 inch. i'm not complaining. it was nice to work from home for a day, but it was just a little ridiculous to call off schools, work and other events because of the snowpocalypse. it's boston. we are used to snow storms and it's winter. it happens. so i've decided i'm starting my own weather station. please send applications if you are interested in becoming a weatherman(woman). requirements: breathing, sense of humor, a smile and an umbrella.

Hahaha, this was a super cute post (sorry, I've been slack in the blogging world and am just now coming back to "life.")
1) YES, code names for boys is an age-old tradition I think all girls share.
2) SC weather peeps are just as flaky! Must be nice to have a job where you can be dead wrong 50% of the time and still stay on payroll.
3) Speaking of weather, you totally missed the Great Southeastern Blizzard of 2010.... it was actually kind of cool! (But I was secretly happy it melted away after 24 hrs....)
4) I JUST read your previous post and thought it was hilarious. I love reading about blind dates! The bit about Miley Cyrus and the "awkward hand-shake/hug hybrid" was too cute. :)
5) I'm back to stalking you regularly, so keep it up!

matt noyes is the best boston meteorologist! don't lump him in. so good. also, who is potential???? don't worry, i won't maliciously steal him (only in your dreams!)

cait- i have no idea who potential is/was. apparently there was no potential. and i know you love your matty. i may make an exception for him because he is so darn good looking.
