HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

How many times have you walked into a store this holiday season, gritted your teeth, and replied "just looking. No. Juuust looking."

Can we please do some research to find out if customer harassment boosts sales? Maybe it does. Overeager retail associates make me want to hightail it from Neiman Marcus' Needless Markups to a low-pressure TJ Maxx. Don't be surprised if your gifts from me have that overstock glow! :)

Oh, Snap!

I hate that I love this.

WEDDING WEIGHT LOSS

I don’t know when the big day is, where it will be, or what colors we’ll wear. What I do know, is I need to make a vow to get in shape.

Time to start working out in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, as long as the rolls shall live.

I DO have ab flab. * I DO want to lose it. * I DO have at least 8 months to trim down. * I DO NOT KNOW HOW.

Help a fatty out! Should I try a raw foods diet? Master Cleanse? Atkins?

For me, some things do taste almost as good as skinny feels. In fact, most things do.

ANY DIET TIPS OR HEALTHY RECIPES? IF SO, PLEASE SHARE!

IT'S CUTE AND ALL

But "talk to the moose?" Am I missing something? Are people saying "talk to the moose" these days?

DON’T PET MY PEEVE

Ever make the mistake of sharing a pet peeve with someone who thinks it’s funny? Ya know, the kind of jerk who brings it up every time you see each other; tells people about it; won’t let you forget it? Maybe it's better to suffer alone.

Nah, maybe not. I’m not particularly peevy, but there are a few things that drive me crazy.

WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY, BRAIN?

"Same thing we do every day, Pinky..."

Almost every week day for the past 6 months has been like an episode of Pinky & The Brain. Each morning I devise a plan to take over the world. Every day I fail. If insanity means doing the same thing but expecting different results, I guess I have gone insane with this job search.

DO YOU HAVE ANY JOB SEARCH TIPS?
