welcome to elaney!

“I like to do a little laundry everyday.” - emum, not knowing the power of her own wisdom

“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.”
