21 Day Fix

Info-mercials are like crack.

Why is it that we can turn on the tv, nothing is on and yet sometimes we just don't turn it off. It is a gross rainy day and I saw a commercial for the In-styler. For some reason, my brain right away thinks "hmm I could do that and cut twenty minutes of time off every day." In reality I realize I could never get that thing to work on the back of my head.

Through my many years since college I will admit that I have bought breadmakers, Ta-bao, and other crap that just accumulates in a corner. I have learned, turn the tv off, change the channel, or just enjoy how stupid the people look in the commercial. If I really want it I am sure it will be in my personal heaven (Target) in two months.

Skinny pants need to go!

I have to start by saying I hate the word skinny! All I can think of is Fiona Apple back in the 90's and that was the meaning of the word skinny. All of the 80's styles that have come back as skinny the jeans, the leggings, the long skinny tops...give me bootcut! I have a pair of skinny leggings but I reserve them mostly for being at home. I will never have the chicken legs. I danced for 20+ years and I have "thick" calves. Meaning, I pray for the day when I can wear knee high boots that fit over my calves. I think this is why I am such a fan of the boot cut, I don't have to try and rip the pants off my calves.

As for the future...I would really love you Hollywood celebrities if you would please, please, please bring back the everyday bootcut leggings. The great ones from the 90's that can be work with long sweaters, a great pair of black heeled boots, AND fit over my calves. I have now made it my one woman mission to accomplish this. Join the campaign ladies!

I love Friends and Tetris

I have no idea why but there is always something comforting in watching old episodes of Friends. Maybe it reminds me that I was not always a coffee addict, of the college years, or that there used to be a great shows on that were not reality TV. Then again, I am already waiting for the next season of Biggest Loser to start.

Why is it that all of the best Tetris games are for the Playstation 1? My Tetris was acting up and I had to resort to ebay to find an old version. To make it the best day ever I also found the Next Tetris and Frogger. Needless to say I will be sitting on my couch for a few days this winter. Now if only fall would hurry up I would have a reason to hang out and play my games in the house more.
