Girl Talk Thursday » Upcoming

Everybody loves a bargain!

Mommy Geekology — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:31:27 +0000

This week’s Girl Talk Thursday is going to be about your favorite bargain websites. How do you get the price you want? What’s your process? What has been the best deal you’ve scored so far? What are the URLs? The secret password? Please for the love of the frugal shopping gods tell us everything!

So look through your bookmarks, gather your receipts, and tell us on Thursday where you go for a deal online.

I apologize in advance for being your host for this topic

Really, you all should ask for your money back.

Tomorrow, we’re talking hairstyles. That’s part of the girl gene that I lack. Um. Ponytails? I know ponytails. And those half-ponytail things, where it’s sort of maybe like a bun but not really at all? My college roommates nicknamed me BULBOUS for that hairstyle. True facts.

So, basically, when I suggested this topic, I was thinking of RECEIVING advice. Not so much giving it. Because my hair, right now? Well. It’s a trapezoid.

Seriously. I have the pictures and math degree to back that up.

Which is why I’m asking — nay — BEGGING you all to come back tomorrow sharing your most simple, most favorite, most sexiest hairstyles.

Or, you can be like me. And you can confess to the internet how your hair really looks. Right this minute. Go on, take a picture!

And then come back here tomorrow and help tame my crazy locks.

I think I could at least MEDAL in Rambling, but I wouldn’t even show in Getting to the Point

So. Funny story! I thought it was my turn to post this week, and it was like that nightmare where you find out you have a final exam and you never attended the class and OMG I haven’t prepared and now everyone will see me naked WHY IS MY MOM HERE. Then I checked the schedule and — WHEW — Maria’s turn! I am saved!

But then I remembered Maria is going out of town to the Mom 2.0 Summit (and if you see her there, give her a hug for me! I totally live 15 minutes away from her, but our kids keep taking turns getting sick and I haven’t seen her forever and that makes me cranky up in my face-type area.)

The point of all of this time-wasting garble, Internet, is that I will be posting tomorrow after all. Only I’m not freaking out about it like I was before. (I’m sure you’re relieved.) Since Maria wants to keep her saucy topic, I’m gonna get all current events up in here and talk OLYMPICS. It’s okay if you haven’t been watching, because what I want to know has nothing to do with Scott Hamilton’s Negative Nelly pants or Norwegian curling pants. Wearing Knowledge of pants? COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.

The question is — What would you be the Olympic champion of? Perhaps no one eats pie quite like you. Or maybe you’re an expert bargain hunter. (And you? In the back? Yeah. Don’t pretend like we don’t know what you’re good at.) If we held some wacky Internet Olympics, what are you 100% confident you could kick ALL our asses at?

Come back tomorrow and let us know! Happy Thursday, all.

Heartbreaks

Colleen — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:39:06 +0000

Ever had a broken heart? Why? Was it a guy? Was it a girl? Was it a friend or more than a friend? Was is over love or loss of life? What happened? Why did it break your heart? Tomorrow we talking heartbreaks. Did you have them? Are you over them? How’d you deal with them? Soothe your soul and get it out of your brain – write it up and share with us tomorrow! Oh yeah, and bring the vat of ice cream.

List of Five … with a TWIST

Diane — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:00:44 +0000

Remember a couple of months ago when we asked you which five celebrities you’d pick to get it on with — no questions asked? This week we’ve set about a similar task:

Which five fictional characters would you get it on with if you could?

They can be from books, movies, TV shows, mythology … whatever makes your skirt fly up. (Unless you’re a dude, then probably they do something to your pants. Which isn’t really any of my business. But you can play along too!)

So who’s it going to be? Don Draper? Mr. Darcy? Mr. Clean? We don’t judge!

Stop on by tomorrow and drop your post into Mr. Linky, leave your list in the comments, or share on Twitter with the hashtag #GTT. Happy lusting!

Tomorrow’s Topic: Job Venting!

Mommy Geekology — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:44:30 +0000

Tomorrow we’ll be talking about our jobs – big or small, “official” or no – and what totally sucks about them.

Everyone loves a good bitch fest, right?

As usual, we’ll be asking you – yes, YOU! – to contribute. Post on your blog, chat on twitter using the #girltalkthursday hashtag (or #gtt if you have a long tweet) and discuss it right here in the comments; what bugs you about your job? Screw meditation techniques, counting to ten and zen gardens – let it out!

What constitutes a job, you ask? Let me elaborate:

You work at an office? That’s a job! I bet something sucks about it!
You work at home? That’s a job! What ticks you off?
You’re a stay a home mom? That is definitely a job. And if you say you have nothing to vent about, you can come watch MY kids.
Do you laze about because you’ve made your millions and your biggest concern today is what to watch on tv? Screw you. Just kidding. I’m sure something sucks about being independently wealthy. All knowledge is worth having. Enlighten us.
Are you a student? That’s work! We want to hear about it!

Have I made my point? You’re doing something during the day, and likely that “thing” constitutes some sort of job. With every job comes the highs and the lows. We’ll talk about the highs another day – this time, we want to know about the lows. Misery loves company, everyone loves a chance to bitch, and the internet is your oyster. I’ll be back tomorrow with a scintillating post about why it sucks to be a tech gal in a small-medium business environment.

If you don’t feel comfortable posting about your current job, we totally get that. Tell us about your first job bagging groceries at the local Quickie Mart or that time you mowed lawns all summer just to spend the dough you earned on unexpected car repairs.

Tomorrow’s Topic: “What’s your ideal lunch date?”

Tatiana — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:58:05 +0000

Tomorrow is Girl Talk Thursday and I’ll be hosting our conversation about our ideal lunch date. I’m going to share where I’d want to go, who I’d want to be with, and what I’d love to eat (everywhere, everyone I love, everything)!

See you tomorrow!
