The Herve Leger Bandage Dress
Can we just all agree in 2011 not to wear Herve Leger bandage dresses or anything similar to that atrocity of a dress.
It’s the same skanky, ugly, unimaginative dress on every hollywood star this year and I am so over it.
I mean these are very beautiful women looking appallingly sluttish. And trust me I hate to say that about women.
And if the dress wasn’t bad enough, the...

Day 06. Write 30 Interesting Things about Yourself
I almost have a PhD in sociology with an emphasis in labor and feminist theory, but I dropped out because I didn’t want to be a professor.
I’m getting married this summer and never thought I would ever be married.
I love horrible, cheesy, horror movies.
I read a lot, but I’m kind of a book snob.
My breasts are large 36D and I only weight 120 lbs. These suckers are real.

Day 4. Your Views on Religion.
I am not religious because to me religion denotes organized religion. I call myself spiritual. I know this sounds so cliche, but I will explain myself.
My grandpa was a minister (Christian) when he was alive. This has lended itself to many Sundays at a church. I have nothing against Christians or their practice of Christianity. I questioned Christianity and its validity for me at a pretty...

Day 3. Your Views on Drugs and Alcohol
I didn’t really know how I was going to respond to this one. This question is loaded (no pun intended) for many reasons. For me to answer this, I have to be completely truthful or it what seem insincere. So here I go….
I had a love affair with alcohol for more than 10 years that turned into a hate relationship that almost ruined my entire life. I am what people call a recovering...

Watch Out
I’m feeling stabby today! So bring it on.
Day 02. Where Do You Want to be in 10 Years.
I really try to live in the present and understand and enjoy the exact moment I am in. Yoga and my Fiance’s practice of Buddhism have started to teach me that. But this being America I will answer this question.
In ten years I hope to have a child. Only add one more to our little family. I will still be married to the Fiance, enjoying ten years of marriage. I would like to have a job that...

Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!
Everyone is hip on This American Life on NPR. And let me tell you, I love that show. In fact the This American Life App on the iphone, is the best app I have. Ira Glass is irreverant and funny. He is a great interviewer and demonstrates genuine care. I listen to This American Life all the time, but when I want a belly hurting laugh, I tune into “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me!”

I am engaged to be married. This is such a bizarre thing for me to say, because for most of my twenties I was a single girl. The single professional girl always looking for love, but putting work first.
I think once you fall in love, priorities change. I never thought I would be married. I always thought I would be the perpetually single woman. Now I know that I may not be rich, but I am...

Christmas
We are opening presents tonight because the little one is going to her mom’s house for xmas. So Santa came last night and delivered gifts. Now we are waiting for fiance to come home so we can open presents.

The Corporate World is a Bitch
Everyone is talking about Xmas break and I don’t get one. I am jealous. I work all week, get this weekend off, and then go back on Monday. Gotta love it.

Weird Guy at Work
Guy: I took off my shoes.
Me: What?
Guy: I took off my shoes.
Me: Why did you do that?
Guy: Because my foot itched and I thought something was poking it.
Me: Great. Thanks for sharing that very important information with me.

On Being Polite
There are certain topics you really shouldn’t discuss with people you don’t know. I choose to employ this position with co-workers, acquaintances, and all those other people who you don’t know well enough.
The rule of three.
Don’t talk about money, politics or religion. It’s a guaranteed way to make someone upset.
There is one woman on my team who talks about...
Tramp Stamp
So apparently the new tramp stamp is no longer on the lower back but on the back of your neck.
This is due to observational research and interviews with my younger coworkers :)

Lack of Blogging
I feel I need to write to everyone and tell them why I have not been blogging as much as usual. But then really, I think we all understand that we have lives and that it is the Christmas season, which makes things invariably busier.
I also have gone from single girl extraodinaire to almost married, almost stepmom. Things are definitely different. No longer are the evenings where you eat what...
