“Well, it was Sunday afternoon. I found myself on a hour long Subway ride back from the Target in Brooklyn, and I thought to myself, ‘Maybe I’m missing the point.’” – elaney, on why she moved from New York City
“I am really tired of working. I just don’t feel like it’s the best use of my time.” - Reader Melby
“elaney, are you reading a library book? That’s so Carrie Bradshaw of you.” - Reader Melby
Now that we think almost exclusively in elaney blog posts and quotes (btw we think of sooooooooo many elaney-esque yet dreadfully inappropriate quotes that we can only email out to a select few if you’d like to be added to that email list), we often find ourselves daydreaming off into elaney short quotes and ideas. Few favorite quotes from yesterday:
“elaney, please try to remember that the women in my bible study read your blog.” -emum
“Not to sound snobby, but air travel makes me hate the gen pub. I totally get private planes now.” -Reader Melby
So, please do share…whether it’s from @whitegirlproblems or joel mchale or your own emum…what’s your favorite nub you’ve overheard lately that you’ve thought…”that’s just too good to keep to myself.”
eBoss: ”elaney, I was so proud of you when I saw you set up a 9am meeting! Look at you planning to get here first thing in the morning.”
elaney: ”ugh, so not my choice. XX had a conflict. Plus I figured if I can’t make it in by then I can just call in from the car.”
eBoss: ”Ah – that makes a lot more sense.”
Quotation #1
“We both shop at the J.Crew sales rack, and it’s catching up to us.” - Reader Melby, on seeing elaney show up in the unmistakably same coral J.Crew cardigan she was wearing
Quotation #2
Reader Melby: ”You should like that guy.”
elaney: ”Sure, but why don’t you like him?”
Reader Melby: ”Oh trust me, I would, if he had any sort of physical attraction to me. I basically showed him my boob trying to get him to like me.”
Quotation #3
elaney (laughing hysterically): ”You are so funny. You are the funniest girl I know. Are you this funny around guys?”
Reader Melby: “Absolutely not, guys don’t understand anything I say. They just look at me with blank stares.”
elaney: ”Yeah, you are pretty girl funny. Maybe you could try to work it in a little more though.” [Then remembering all that had been said...] ”On second thought, maybe not.”
Ring, ring, ring
ebrother: “hey, I can’t talk right now. Mom’s at the office and all four of us are having a family meeting.”
elaney: ”Since when do you have family meetings without me?”
ebrother (chuckling, and calling out to the others): ”hey, it’s that girl that lives out of town. Anyone want to talk to her? No, not Aunt Margaret (who lives in Seattle and we’ve meet twice), the other one.”
ebrother (turning back to the phone): “Yeah, sorry, we gotta go.”
