Last weekend I planned to make Elise‘s recipe for Pulled Pork Sandwiches. The recipe calls for a pork butt roast (snicker) but our local grocery store didn’t carry that cut. I went for a pork shoulder roast instead. Um, did you know that when you buy a pork shoulder roast it still has SKIN ON IT? Like, pig skin. On my roast. I know that pork comes from a PIG and a pig is an animal, complete with skin, but I just had a hard time with that skin being still on the roast on my kitchen counter. Even my mom said, “I’m sorry, Ame, but that just looks like something up and died in here.” WTF? (The sandwiches turned out awesome, though, by the way.)
Gee, what do you think this job entails? WTF? Just made it easier to deactivate.
Do you think Vanna feels weird knitting with skeins of wool that sport a photo of her face? WTF? I guess now that Vanna doesn’t actually have to turn those letters she has more time for knitting and such. Her cat looks totally pissed, though.
Anybody else get this e-mail?
I am Karen Jashinsky – me and my team at O2 MAX Fitness have been occasional readers of Assertagirl, http://www.assertagirl.com, and wanted to see if we could ask you for your advice and thoughts on what we are doing in our soon-to-launch company. You seem to be a well-respected blogger and a bit of a thought leader in the parenting blog world so… if you’d be willing to share with us a bit of your feedback and guidance as a parent on our O2 MAX hubs and our philosophy, we’d be really thrilled!
…
One, if you’d be able to make it, we’d like to have you as a VIP at our big event for teens and their parents, Energy Rocks ’07, on Sunday, September 30th on the campus of Beverly Hills High School. We’re going to have performances by L.A. teen hip-hop stars, soccer and basketball clinics, yoga and budokon classes, personal training, and lots of free drinks, samples, and other stuff from our partners, Fuze, SoyJoy, Lärabar, Naked Juice, Gamebar, Nike, American Apparel, Polar, QMotions, Neutrogena, Roxy and others!
WTF? I live in Ontario, CANADA, nowhere near Beverly Hills High School. And I’m not a parent. Or a thought leader. But thanks.
Thanks for all of your kind words yesterday. I appreciate all of them.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! Have a great long weekend.
Vanna’s cat! Ah hahahahahahaha.

Well, looks to me like she’s asking you for your advice and not merely asking you to attend the gig. Being in Canada doesn’t mean you’re a Space Alien.
WTF
I bet Vanna doesn’t even knit.
Chris, the point is that she said she was asking my advice “as a parent”, which I am not. As my readers are well aware.
I love pulled pork and my recipe calls for “Boston Butt.” I try not to laugh when I ask the butcher for it. No skin on this one but sometimes it has the bone…eeewww!
The cat must’ve been reacting to the flash. Funny. Come to think of it, our chihuahua looks like that in pics, too.
Yeah, Facebook was just not for me. I keep getting invites.
I hope your appt was much better than mine!
I got that stupid email, too. Don’t get me started…
And man, Vanna white has either aged really, really well, has a great plastic surgeon or has been heavily Photoshopped because she doesn’t look any older than ME and she SO IS.
