Greatest Hits: Pinch Hitter

The Grammy's dubs themselves "music's biggest night," but this year's could more accurately be called, "Kate's biggest nap."  My plan to live blog went horribly awry when I accidentally slept through nearly the whole show.  Luckily, Neil saved the day -- live blogging the entire event and becoming one of our very first guest bloggers!  Remember that night here.

Greatest Hits: And the seventh thing I hate the most about you - you make me love you.

Wait Kate, that's not you!  True, but this picture of D and JG
is the 12th hit when you google "puss n boots aggro crag."
Who says this blog isn't doing anything?

So, you may remember (and if you know me you definitely do remember, because I force you to constantly) that Danielle and I won an award.  It was an exciting day.  Nearly as exciting for me as the day Eminem won his Oscar.  In order to accept our award, given by the incomparable Bre of BreBeauty, Danielle and I had to share seven random facts about ourselves.  The resulting string of posts revealed some funny, interesting and really weird tidbits about our lives as wildcats.  This was an especially fun series of posts for me because I learned things about Ms. Festino that I haven't learned over the course of our friendship.  I guess we just don't talk about Puss N Boots very often.  For good reason, apparently.

Enjoy this, somewhat disturbing, look into our lives again here.

Greatest Hits: Royal Nuptials

Turns out the Duke and Duchess spent
NYE drunk in a teepee.  Not unlike how
I spent my senior year of high school.

Probably the most blogging fun that I had this year was my live-blog of the Royal Wedding.  I love the royals, I love a wedding and I really love hats, so the royal wedding was pretty much the perfect event for me.  I'm so glad that Wills and Kate got hitched and that they shared it with the whole world.  There are moments that I actively feel sad that there isn't another royal wedding to look forward to.  Come on, Harry and Pippa -- make it happen.

You can relive the magic of the Royal Wedding here.  I suggest pouring a glass of champagne and putting on your best facinator enjoy the pictures of rich, skinny people.  Or, as I like to call it, Saturday night.

Greatest Hits: An Ode to Nineties Teen Movies

Kate's rhyming ode to teen films of the 1990s was without a doubt the single most creative post of the past year.  My favorite part?  This little gem takes me right back to Varsity Blues:  
 
When the quarterback goes down the town’s filled with strife
Til Dawson finally says, “I. don’t .want. your. life.” 

Check out the full poetic post here.

Greatest Hits: If you join, he will come

So, as you may have guessed from our co-authored blog, D and I are besties.  We have been friends for almost nine years.  We went to college together.  At Wellesley.  We have spent many a drunken night at Bell in Hand (I miss you, Boston).  In short, we love theychuothers.  So it is with nothing but the spirit of that love that sometimes even I have to laugh at the crazy antics Danielle gets herself into with boys.  This hilarious post chronicles her online correspondence with some less-than-worthy-of-her-wonderful suitors.  It cracks me up and is one of my very favorites from the first year of W&W.

Revisit it for yourself here.
