One of our favorite features around here is when we have a male reader ask the elaney community questions. We all remember Dating Week from December ’09 and who can forget the lively debate sparked between notonthephone and Drofnib? Today one of our two favorite male readers (well, we think they’ve read a time or two) wants to know….”elaney (aka his sister), I kind of like a white 4Runner. But…will girls think I look like a soccer mom?” Eek – looks like a soccer mom could be a dealbreaker. Let’s hear it ladies. What should he do??

Friday Afternoon, Day After Thanksgiving
emum: ”I wish your brothers were here.”
elaney: ”Um, you know they live in town, and I don’t.”
emum: ”Oh I know, and I’m glad you’re here…you’re just really lucky to have them.”
elaney: ”They are lucky to have me too!!”
emum (looking away): ”Um hmm…”
And scene.

Thanks to Reader Carter (oh wait, have ebrothers ever read elaney…probably not) for running the Atlanta Thanksgiving Half this morning! Carter had never run more than 6 miles, but the only mishap was a short visit to the med tent post race (we think it had a little more to do with the hot nurse). We now have the requested “Eye of the Tiger,” “We Are the Champions,” and (wildcard) “You Gotta Be” on the ipod, and a recipe for a fun Thanksgiving morning!! Check us out before and after.
(And the fact that we are posting 6am no makeup and post 13 mile shots means no one is ever allowed to call us high maintenance again!).

“Do you want to come out to the cab so we can wish you happy birthday on the way to La Grotta?” -emum, edad, and ebrothers when elaney got sick and missed her birthday dinner

eMum: ”Sweetie, I’m just not sure about the black nail polish. It looks too edgy.”
elaney (pointing at her cream and gold ensemble from tibi, banana, and j.crew): ”Look at this. What about this says edgy?”
eMum: ”I’m just trying to tell you, guys don’t really like edgy girls. They don’t understand it.”
elaney (making an annoyed, yet resigned expression, turns to her father): ”Dad, do you think I look too ‘edgy’ to attract a man?”
eDad: ”Of course not elaney, you’re perfect. But…it might be a Democrat.”
