			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Earlier this week, Meg was expounding how an April Fool&#8217;s snowstorm was going to rain her her parade today. Lucky for her, the storm is merely bringing an annoying mix of rain and some sleet to her little burgh.  Ha ha all you meteorological a**hats, you can&#8217;t ruin my wine tasting party tonight! </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MrT.jpg" rel="lightbox[6725]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MrT.jpg" alt="" title="MrT" width="289" height="362" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6728" /></a></p>
<p>Meg, like her <em>pal Mr T</em>., isn&#8217;t going to put up with any foolish weather or people this Friday. She, like Mr. T, is going to <strong>pity the fool</strong> instead. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s your opinion about this Facebook exchange? </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/opinion.jpg" rel="lightbox[6725]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/opinion.jpg" alt="" title="opinion" width="450" height="307" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6729" /></a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t even get Meg started on grammar and spelling, it&#8217;s clear all people need to learn now are the abbreviations so they can<em> text and instant message</em>.<strong> LOL, everyone.</strong> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s tax time, and let General Electric tells it like it is: </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fake_ge_tweet.jpg" rel="lightbox[6725]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fake_ge_tweet.jpg" alt="" title="fake_ge_tweet" width="450" height="329" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6736" /></a></p>
<p>GE, where 2010 saw them netting 5 billion dollars in profit. And paying ZERO federal income tax. April Fool&#8217;s everyone! Umm, not really. WTF, how do they get away with that? </p>
<p>Maybe Jon Stewart can tell us exactly how GE did that? </p>

<p>The Stepford Wife, aka Katie Holmes was recently spotted with tot Suri; who was munching on these: </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/suri.png" rel="lightbox[6725]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/suri-400x362.png" alt="" title="suri" width="400" height="362" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6734" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>
<em>&#8220;She was holding the box and I was like ok, wow we don&#8217;t need that right now. Because I thought if I said put that back and then she&#8217;s going to say, what is this? And I really didn&#8217;t want to have that conversation.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Katie, news flash. Parents do teach their kids the word penis is OK. And OMG, they don&#8217;t have to S-P-E-L-L it out! But what&#8217;s up with you sugaring a kid up at midnight in New York City?  Katie get a double bonus pity the fool award. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s end with a little lighthearted April Fools prank, because those of us that had to SHOVEL SNOW this morning really need a freaking break:  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Shadow, schmadow</strong> groundhog. What, another 6 weeks of winter? You have freaking fur, right? I saw a robin that day, and he said spring is on the way. And he only has little wings, you <em>furry wuss. </em></p>
<p>Look who&#8217;s courting <del datetime="2010-02-04T21:16:19+00:00">climbing to bed with</del> Wall Street Bankers on Capitol Hill this week: </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/orange_boehner.jpg" rel="lightbox[2646]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/orange_boehner.jpg" alt="" title="orange_boehner" width="275" height="413" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2650" /></a></p>
<p>Luckily, the banking community was spared the ugly beta carotene explosion that has scarred Congressman John Boehner for life, turning him a permanent<strong> shade of orange</strong>.  Paging George Hamilton for an intervention! </p>
<p><strong>Dear Katie Holmes</strong>, </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/katie_scarf.jpg" rel="lightbox[2646]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/katie_scarf-400x261.jpg" alt="" title="katie_scarf" width="400" height="261" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2656" /></a></p>
<p>Apparently you confused your events. You see, it was the<strong> Sundance Film Festival</strong> you were attending, not the <strong>Contradance Festival.</strong>  And hey, get over here while I take a pair of scissors to those bangs! </p>
<p>In the <strong>I&#8217;ll never get country music</strong> department:<br />
<a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/zac_brown.jpg" rel="lightbox[2646]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/zac_brown-400x290.jpg" alt="" title="zac_brown" width="400" height="290" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2669" /></a></p>
<p>The<strong> Zac Brown Band</strong> has some catchy lyrics to a song they call &#8220;Chicken Fried&#8221;: </p>
<p>&#8220;I thank God for my life, And for the stars and stripes, May freedom forever fly, let it ring, Salute the ones who died, And the ones that give their lives, so we don`t have to sacrifice, All the things we love, Like our chicken fried&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em>. My brain just exploded on that one.  </p>
<p>An old <strong>junior high diary</strong> (not mine!) brings back memories: </p>
<p><a href="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/whatiwantinaguy.png" rel="lightbox[2646]"><img src="http://designsbymeg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/whatiwantinaguy-279x400.png" alt="" title="whatiwantinaguy" width="279" height="400" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2657" /></a></p>
<p>Oh God kid, that&#8217;s my dream list too. Big giant heart over the i in WISH. </p>
<p>Have a great weekend people! </p>
