…also known as It’s National DONUT Day!
Today, I walked into the office to the oh-so-sweet and tantalizing aroma of donuts. The scrumptious, mouth-watering scent tickled my nose, a long feather carried by a tempting devil. Not so hot for someone who’s perpetually on a diet…but everyone deserves a treat once and awhile…and it IS a [...]

Nike has a new ad campaign that’s pretty kick a**. I caught them posted on FB and thought they were pretty cool. Actually I think anything that tells me it’s okay to have “thunder thighs” is awesome…a “muffin top” is a different story though. Since it’s kind of hard to read the phrases, I typed [...]

Weighing the odds has never been my strong suit. When I try to rationalize, naturally I’m biased toward what I want the outcome to be whether or not I openly admit it. I find this attitude trickling down into all aspects of my life. Sometimes it’s a big deal like moving from NYC to DC [...]

Lunch time yesterday I spent my hour in a reserved close-door meeting room with two co-workers. We scheduled this time to discuss the events of the 3 hour Bachelor Finale that aired on Monday night. We are part of the “closet watchers,” who don’t openly admit that they would willingly cancel plans [...]

Somedays, I have Workout A.D.D. I’ll go to the gym and spend ten minutes on the treadmill before my eyes go crossed with boredom, ten on the elliptical, 15 on the bike, 15 on stairs…and I’ll leave the gym feeling like I didn’t even work out.
So I like to mix it up a little by [...]

So today is FAT (yes all caps) Tuesday….
Personally I love the donut any day, but it’s on days like these where I feel it’s especially important to do my part and eat at least 2, possibly 3, and if it’s a stressful day…4. It’s perfectly normal to eat 4 donuts.
On any other day, I would [...]

I’ve watched over the past few weeks as people have “caved” to the 25 Things epidemic on Facebook. Of course, I’ve seen the updates as more people are tagged and succumb to compiling their own laundry list of TMI. I’ve even read a few. They announce their note with headers like “bored,” “embarrassed to admit [...]

I love to shop and for those of you who know me…I am constantly in a shopper’s coma.
I search out deals (ie: Bradsdeals.com or retailmenot.com). I know coupon and promotion codes for my favorite stores as well as their expiration dates. Sometimes, I think Confessions of a Shopaholic was written about me (though I am [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving and that means several things.1. I go to work and leave work in the dark.
2. Tea has replaced iced coffee as my drink of choice in the morning.
3. Christmas is coming, but it’s not here yet!
Yes, I am one of those people who hates that Christmas decorations [...]
