Inspired by Finn, and Vanity Fair.
Miss Britt and the Proust Questionnaire:
What is your most marked characteristic?
My need to be heard, which is really secondary to my need to be understood.
What is the quality you most like in a man?
Excellence.  In anything.  I used to believe it was ambition, but the desire to do more is [...]

Dear Baby Boy,
I already know the name that your parents are going to call you.  I’m saying it in my head now as I think of you.  I’m hearing the way your mother says it, and wondering if I will ever be able to make it sound half as beautiful as she does when I [...]

Yesterday I spewed 1500 words about BlogHer – and got through Wednesday.
The conference didn’t even start, officially, until Friday.
There is just so damn much.
I was in Chicago for five days and every single one of those days was filled with highs and lows and laughter and nervousness and – because it’s me – embarrassing shit [...]

First let me say that any and all BlogHer recaps here will be woefully short on the pretty pictures, because one of the very first things I did in Chicago was drop and break my point and shoot camera.
Y’all are stuck with having to read real and actual words.  Sorry.
SO – Wednesday morning I woke [...]

The best time to make a drastic change to your appearance is right before you go and meet 1400 or so strangers for the first time.
Clearly.
Which is why I thought it was an awesome idea to lure Hilly over to my house Sunday night under the guise of hanging out and then proceed to force [...]

I dated a guy in college who was obsessed with movie quotes.
He’d send me random text messages with lines from Jim Carrey movies and wait for me to guess the name of the movie.  He’d giggle if I got them right and strut if I got them wrong, impressed with his superior knowledge of movies [...]

Ladies and gentleman, we have a diagnosis.
If you haven’t been following the seemingly never ending saga of what the fuck is up with Miss Britt’s health, this post will make no sense and be of no interest to you.
But for the rest of you – who have listened to me whine, bitch, moan and cry [...]

A few days ago I learned that I had been nominated as a contender for Hottest Blogger Calendar. I rolled my eyes and tossed my hair and made several indignant noises that resembled dainty snorts.
Me? A Centerfold?
Well… clearly.
I told everyone I would not be “pimping” myself. Such tacky displays of self promotion [...]

My husband has a thing about butt squeezing. Squeezing my butt in particular. He tried to explain this fascination to me a few nights ago.
Him: I just… it’s squeezable! Ya know?
Me: Yeah, I get it. It’s squishy.
Him: No, no, that’s good – it’s squeeezable!

Me: Like a new roll of toilet paper. [...]

First, I want to thank you for showing up here. No really. I love that about you.
Next, let me say… you are missing out. Truly. I’ve been playing with my NEW FANCY SCHMANCY TRACKING SOFTWARE for about 18.75 hours now – so I know what you’re missing on this site. [...]

On Monday, Avitable had to… er… step in for me. It seems I was slightly unavailable for posting.
Adam determined the best way to distract you from my untimely drunkenness was with a contest. Now I owe one of you bastards a prize. (Thanks Adam!)
But who? Who will be the lucky bastard?
First [...]

Raise your hand if you’re relieved this Ode to Miss Britt series is finally coming to an end?
OK, that’s rude. Put your hands down.
I’ve spent 9 of the last 10 weeks rebuilding my “100 Things” list. I think 85 of the 90 items I’ve shared have amounted to me making fun of myself [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but I have recently had my big coming out party with The Mommy Bloggers. I wore pink pajama bottoms and we served Cosmos in sippy cups. The moms can really hold their booze. It’s been fun.
ANYway, I’ve noticed that many of the “mommy bloggers” are the [...]

I know you all come here for the depth.
I know. I’m a virtual well of wisdom and emotion.
And that’s why, in my perusal of 100 Fascinating Things About Me, I have gone out of my way to deliver to you tid bits of my soul. My very soul, people.
But today? Today I [...]

Imagine, if you will, that you’re reading an eloquent introductory sentence.
You are then pulled into the next paragraph, where you encounter wit and humor and creativity like you have never known. You find yourself sitting at your computer, completely unaware that you are smiling to yourself. You laugh under your breath as you [...]
