I prefer grandma over the labradoodle. Grandma is much funnier. No, seriously. I did that to her once. She was pissed. It was hilarious.

I'm in love and I don't care who knows it.
A friend of mine who knows my love of all things Saturday Night Live Celebrity Jeopardy… (which, by the way, if you haven’t seen it, CLICK HERE and watch it immediately. It will change your life.) …sent me a link to this bitchin’ t-shirt. I ordered it within 10 seconds. “And finally, Mr. Connery, the category was numbers and you wrote a letter V. Well, I tell you...

I'm a boy.
A group of us (me and 4 guys) were at lunch today talking about guy things. Our company's creative director, Tug, was there. He was regaling us with a highly enthusiastic rant about how he couldn't wait for Rush to make it into the Hall of Fame. According to Tug, they should already be there because everybody loves Rush...
Tug: You know who doesn't like Rush? Girls.
Me: Hey! I love Rush!
Tug: Yeah… That makes sense.

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party
In case you weren’t aware, I’m VERY competitive. So when we decided to have an ugly sweater Christmas party at work, it was GAME ON for the Sharkey.

Don’t act like you’re...

“Diet Pepsi? What are you? A retiree?”
– - Woman with whom I work. (I was very upset about the lack of Diet Pepsi in the vending machine and was explaining to my co-workers how I had to go across the street to get my fix. This was the response I received. I thought it was hilarious.)

Bad Burt.
Burt is my Jeep. One morning, Burt and I were headed into work. We stopped at a stoplight and as soon as it turned green, Burt revved his little engine to get up over the hill onto the bridge. Burt made it to about 30 mph and suddenly became the little engine that couldn’t. Bad Burt. Took Burt to a shop that my friend owns. Turns out, Burt’s gonna need a new transmission. New...

Okay, so I want EVERYTHING at Renegade Handmade (a cute little shop in Wicker Park in Chicago), but I particularly want these. They’re adorable. I’m in love.

No Post November
Well, kids, I’m back. I took a brief sabbatical. You know how some people do No Shave November? I opted to do No Post November. I’m sure you’re glad I’m back. I know I am. And in the spirit, here are some beards for your viewing pleasure. My favorite is the handlebar/goatee combo.
