I'll do anything for a picture, if it's funny (to me or someone else).

Choosing A New Calendar

Image
I don't wear a watch. I just figure out in my head what time it is. I can even take a nap and tell myself to wake up at a certain time, and I do. But knowing what day I'm on? Sometimes takes a few tries. Days seem to sneak up on me and then fly right by. So an easily accessible calendar, especially at work, is a must-have*. As always, I had several options for the new year: Girls In Bikinis Should I get a calendar that forces me to stare at well-lit, well-toned and well-enhanced women all year as a way to motivate myself to eat fewer nachos and make my work-outs at the gym last just a bit longer? Maybe it could work. But really, using a bikini calendar as a realistic indicator of progress only works if I also have an air-brushing and lighting guy following me around all day. So, maybe not. (Side note: you know how in movies when the hero is about to seduce the heroine, the lighting turns all soft and flattering? Yeah, that should happen in real life too.) Kitten s an d Puppies ...

Halloween

Not only is Halloween my friend Candace's birthday (holla!), but I love to dress up in cute little costumes. Kitty Cats, Pocahontas, Angels, Devils, I love them all. Because these days, if you want to dress up, you have to be invited to a Masquerade or a Costume Ball. And really, who throws Masquerade or Costume Balls anymore? No one. So Halloween has become du jour for expressing that playful side we normally can't express outside of college and Halloween (and oh, I used to dress up in some fantastic outfits for going out with my roommates Jill and Brooke and Dana in college. I could almost be my college-self for Halloween). Unless, of course, you are a Playboy Bunny like Bridget on The Girls Next Door ( the guilty pleasure of almost every girl I know ) . Bridget is my favorite because she LOVES dressing up. Every time they go on an excursion or have a party, Bridget has a little costume she wears and because she is a bunny, she can get away with it, even on a random Tuesday. ...

Juicy

A friend first turned me on to Juicy Couture perfume. I bought the purse compact the last time I was in Vegas. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like the smell of Juicy. Fresh and cute. I also picked up these knee-length 'Juicy Angel' skate socks. Skate socks are fun with short skirts or short shorts. Holly Madison of The Girls Next Door (basically the most awesome girly show on tv right now) sells a three pack of pink/white/black skate socks I keep meaning to pick up. But honestly? I don't wear short skirts or short shorts often enough to justify more than my Juicys. And let's face it, I am in fact an angel. And the clothing Juicy is known for: hoodies and yoga pants. Hoodies in general are the perfect investment. (In San Antonio, an array of hoodies doubles as my winter coat.) Combined with yoga pants, it's hard to want to ever wear jeans again. Comfy, cozy, soft, easy to throw on and off, easily worn to the grocery store, the movies, a casual dinner with...
