One of my very, very lovely Carolina girls is throwing a birthday bash of “I’m Turning 29 Again” proportions. So right now, B and I are on a train,James Taylor style. Because we’ve seen fire, and we’ve seen rain. Or something like that. Moving on…
SOOOOO, yeah, today is going to be a light and airy Friday post, so yousall don’t have to think too hard. Last week, one of my favorite chicas in the blogosphere, Kate over at Punch It In! posted a very cute lil game… and it goes like this:
If you want to participate, leave a comment on this post and I will assign you a letter. You then write about 10 things you love that begin with your assigned letter and post them on your blog. When people comment on your posted list, you give them a letter and the chain continues on and on.
Now I ain’t really (gearing up for The Cack here) a fan of chains, but her post was adoramable and it had “EASY FRIDAY POST” written all over it, so I asked for a letter, requesting that it not be X (xylophones are so out right now), and she was kind enough to give me…
The letter N! Which is apparently purple. And male. These guys said so:
So, innerwebs, here you have it…
Ten Things I Love, inspired by the letter N.
1. North Carolina, aka The Cack. Given my current destination, it had to be said. Although I had my doubts when I first got down south to the dirty dirty, I am now and will always be a “sweet Carolina girl”… Masshole or no.
2. Narwhals, which is also my way of saying everything FUGLY. But you already knew that…
3. Neil Diamond for giving us the song Sweet Caroline, and by association, the Bahstun Red Sawx. As evidenced by the Best Present Ever.
4. Nora Jones. That girl’s voice does THINGS to me.
5. Nice, France- well, southern France, in general. Actually, traveling in general. Anywhere NEW, where I haven’t been before. 161 cities in 11 countries, and counting.
6. Noms. This is the best way I could think of to say EATING with the letter N. I love food, preferably served with friends and booze in a cozy setting. Yes please.
7. Nekkid. As in being. You get it. No videos in existence necessary.
8. Naughty men, like Don Draper.
9. NOTHING. As in, doing it. I am a huge freaking fan, no lie.
10. N-E thing having to do with Arrested Development or Sunny in Philadelphia. (I know, I cheated, but I love them that much.) To make up for it, here’s a clip about the fantastic musical, THE NIGHTMAN COMETH…
Do you have a guy who does Cat Eyes? I’M ON IT.
Alright, ladies and germs. If you’d like to get in on this, leave a comment and I’ll send you your very own letter, or maybe Anderson will stop oggling Obama for a while and deliver a personal message.
Not bloody likely.
Happy weekend, lovers!

That kitty with the broccoli is fucking hilarious. And entirely too cute.
I have probably watched that video with the kitty about 5 times and I am not even really in to cute animal videos. Adorable. It has made me a better person.
I can attest to #9. #7, not so much.
Have a brilliant time, dear. I’ll be thinking about you as I pop meds and snuffle over my laptop.
*snuffle*
Where’s “nipples?”
Nevermind. That would be on MY list.
Deutlich: That cat has CRAZEE EYES of the first order.
Lemm: Seriously, that thing makes me snarf. I once had a dog who went NUTS for baby carrots. He didn’t flail, though. That kitteh was totally flailing.
Fearless: I’m sorry, snuffoo. Vitamin C is your friend…
Mooooog: I thought about that. But I’ll save it for a TMI Thursday…
Ooooo.. I’ll be in Nice soon
Love Don Draper….particularly the clip from SNL….
I’ll take a letter – but no X or Z….
Sure, I’ll play.
And love Nora Jones too!
Nice job on #10. U iz clevar.
I can spell however I want too.
I love Nice France too! Great memories of drinking lots of pink wine with my sister. I wanna play the game, please assign me a letter!
I’m bored at work. I’ll take a letter.
Oh the Nightman. He’s why I don’t sleep at night.
But I will gladly take a letter.
North Carolina!! That is my home sweet home. Thanks for giving us a shout-out and have oh-so-much-fun while you are here!
I’ll take a letter…but nothing too hard. It’s Friday.
a train to NC? at least it beats driving through VA, which I swore was the state that never ended. Have a drink at Top of the Hill for me — it’s been a few years since I was back there….
Since I share little more than my sex life with you, feel free to assign away my dear. And the kitty is a riot.
Safe travels, my dear!
I’d Love a letter but write it BIG I’m old and my hearing ain’t what it used to be…?
I’m going to be singing “you gotta pay the troll toll” song all day now
That is one of my favorite Sunny episodes.
I’m down for taking a letter, Darling.
Didn’t realize you were a Nora Jones fan. I swear I would listen to her sing the phone book.
I miss my North Carolina. So much. I loved it there.
“…some other musical stuff!”
God, I want to tongue-kiss this show.
Have fun in north carolina! I'm jealous… i <3 it there
“You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy’s hole.”
“Let’s talk about mine and Dennis’ rape scene”
“Take a 5!”
ha, i love the little green monster guy. and the kitty!
ill take a letter, vanna.
OMG, Don Draper is HAWT! He’s naughty and should be nekkid. Good call on that one!
Have many frivolities in NC!! DC will miss you!
I’ll do it. Give me a letter and I’ll go noodles on it.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend in North Cack! I don’t share your love of the place, as you know, but I do love a number of other things on your list, Neil Diamond ranking high among them!
Great N’s, Lilu!
u wanna watch the videos. my ex is now a star.
I agree with Smart Mouth Broad. The nom-ing kitten and nekkidness, esp.
Great list. I too love the nomming kitty. Seems every cat has it’s own unique food addiction – my siamese gets that insane over toasted marshmallows. ;-D
I want a letter! Obviously I’m in need of some blogspiration.
Scotty: Take a train 20 minutes away to a place that sounds like “Won le pens”. It’s gorgeous and the beaches are sand, not pebbles.
LMB: Done and done. And drool, for Don.
Nothing Fancy: Isn’t she the best? If only I knew how to spell her name…
Surviving Myself: Yus, yoo kanz!
Charlotte Harris: Souther France is HARD to beat.
-jd: Done, my dear.
f.B: The Nightman has the eyes of a cat and does karate across the stage!
Belle: It was a lovely weekend… and I commented your letter, love!
Dr. H: The train THERE as fine. Coming back, not so much. It shall be blogged…
Miss Scorpio: Thanks darling! I had a blast. Your letter awaits…
fiona: I wrote it as big as I could, lover.
PLT: “If you wanna get into this boyshole…” Are you chewing gum?? (He said no chewing gum…)
Gilahi: I would listen to her give Hitler’s speeches. HA!
Kate: It is a lovely world down there.
Arjewtino: I would nipple-tweak it.
Maxie: Me too. But alas, no mullets. Raleigh’s gone faux-hipster on me!
rs27: I think the rape scene went really well!
Brookem: You’re the second person to call me Vanna. I think I like it…
Kate: Don Draper should ALWAYS be nekkid. We need a constitutional amendment. You listening, Obama?
Katherine: Call me for that beer this week, babe.
Kass: Done and done. Yours is quite predictable…
Lisa: You clearly have never had a burrito from Cosmic Cantina…
SMB: Thanks, babe!
M@: Oooookay…
Ruby: Who doesn’t love broccoli?
Connie: We had a lhasa that went NUTS over baby carrots. ???
Hillbilly Princess: Ask and ye shall receive, my darling!
give me a letter homie
Great clips. Anyone who can tie together videos from Elf, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelpha and a broccoli-crazed kitten is alright in my book!
I know I’m a few days late, but feel free to give me a letter, too
Luv me some Mad Men. Smoking and drinking never looked so sexy, except the episode where a guy went pee on himself. Sad.
ooh love this, just found your blog through alexa and I love it.
If you dont mind you can feel free to send me a letter to
I would love to play….give me a letter.
