I’ve been helping my mom search for a dress for the wedding. I emailed her this one, thinking it’s classy yet chic, appropriate for an outdoor ceremony and very mother-of-the-bride-ish.

She emailed me back with this one.

Gasp! You can see her inner thigh! And her lower back! I just shook my head and laughed. Whatever. She [...]

Me and my sister, Carissa. She’s the littler one.
I sometimes tell Matt that all I ever hear in my house is, “Where’s Carissa? Have you talked to her? How is she?” even if she just called an hour ago. (She lives five minutes away.) She gets all the attention.
Still, she is cute and I love [...]

So I wrote this last week but was about to delete it because I was like, it’s sooooo boring, who wants to read about my boooring life? And then I thought, hmmm, well, this site is called Michelle Woo (me), so I guess you all do. Which brings me to my first goal of 2010 [...]

Oh, by the way, I’m in Hawaii.
I didn’t want to make a big announcement as I assume I’d get the same reactions here as when I put in my vacay notice at work. “Oh, what? Your tan from Costa Rica is fading? You poor thing!” Well, you know what? One, I’m not exactly in [...]

- WTF is up [...]

Me and my younger sister Carissa.
Almost two years ago, I moved back home from Arizona. My room shares a wall with hers.
For the first few months of our cohabitation setup, we seemed to be on a track to genuine sisterly adorableness, brushing our teeth together, doing our makeup together, trying on our newest mall purchases [...]

If you’re a parent, no matter how wonderful you are or how hard hard you try, there will be some ill-fated things you do or don’t do that your children will forever hang over your head. Like the time you headed up the Macarena as a prom chaperone. Or the time you accidentally led them [...]

I am tired of being a slave to technology. I wake up, check my personal e-mail, shower and beautify, check my work e-mail (WHY?) and then drive to work only to turn on the computer and check my work and personal e-mail 274,974 more times throughout the day. Then I come home, pee, and GO [...]
