Reasons I'm rethinking my mother's day gift

1.) She told me not to get her anything... and I'm beginning to think that mother is always right.
2.) Address book? Seriously? I mean, really?

5 Things White People Like

So I've been reading a blog called "Stuff White People Like" and it's brilliant. I feel that they have left out some very important "stuff" however.

1.) White people like self deprecation (or just deprecation in general) - It's hip to make fun of yourself, or others around you, as long as its in a classy and educated way. The ability to Make a persuasive argument is the new "I own a Jaguar." Just read the blog mentioned above
2.) White people love saving endangered things - If it's cute and it's in crisis, white people will throw money in its direction (whilst everyone else watches, because there's nothing worse than donating money and it going unnoticed)
3.) White people like expensive cookware - The knives don't go in the dishwasher and the $70 fire truck red Paula Deen Non-Stick skillet is not to be touched by anything metallic while stirring those cage-free eggs.
4.) White people enjoy shows about doctors - Scrubs, House, ER, General Hospital, Grey's Anatomy, to name a few.
5.) White people love blogs
