Sarah’s friends made her go to Vegas today. Since “planning ahead” isn’t in her job description, I am writing Best Week Ever this week. Sorry. <\/em><\/p>\n

-Sarah\u2019s brother has taken to leaving random and not very nice comments on all of Sarah\u2019s friends\u2019 social networking profiles. Now I should specify they are not nasty towards the person they are left for, but more towards Sarah. I felt like I should inform her he was doing so, and she apologized, saying he drinks too much. After a little discussion, we used our clinical training to diagnose him with Anonymous Commenter Syndrome, however a rare strain where he actually comments as himself.<\/p>\n

-I was having a meeting with Nick about things that annoy me. One of them is overcoming being female in a dude\u2019s industry. Nick assured me that he doesn\u2019t know anyone who hates me because I am a girl. \u201cPeople hate you for real reasons, Brooke,” he said.<\/p>\n

-As usual I am doing yard work around the house. I am looking at the lawn, perplexed how I am going to get the crap that has accumulated off of it. I was thinking perhaps I could sweep, or even vacuum the yard. Then I remembered rakes exist.<\/p>\n

-I am explaining to Keith how I have been really lazy all week, and I blame it on being in between seasons. He agrees, and says, \u201cI live my life on college breaks because that\u2019s when the best MTV specials are on.”<\/p>\n

-I have a minor crisis one day because Facebook Scrabble seems to think I am not in the US or Canada and will not load. I tweet frantically asking if Portland has been moved to Mexico or something. Cory simply replies, \u201cI think it was the Louisiana Purchase.”<\/p>\n

-I opened the dishwasher to find it filled with a few inches of very dirty water. We immediately begin the process of buying a new one, because some things are that important. When I told Lisa about the crisis, she simply replied, you can\u2019t just hand wash dishes?\u00a0 I replied, \u201cPeople hand wash dishes?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

-Spring came to Portland<\/a> last weekend and with it, a much needed excuse to BBQ. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, preventing him from getting much enjoyment out of most of the food that was there. As I raved over the bacon wrapped shrimp, he seemed ambivalent. \u201cIt seems there\u2019s always something wrapped in bacon at these things,” he said. I reply, \u201cDuh, everything is better when wrapped in bacon.”<\/p>\n

-My neighborhood Arby’s closed this week. I have no idea where I am going to get curly fries any more. This is not funny, nor is it supposed to be.<\/p>\n

-In the meeting I mentioned earlier, Nick and I came up with the brilliant idea to do guest editions of Best Week Ever when Sarah\u2019s life is actually interesting and she doesn\u2019t have time to write it. Unfortunately, I am up first and have not been paying attention to my life very well. I ask several people if I have done or said anything funny recently. Jared finally replies, \u201cYou are not very funny, Brooke.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
