What’s the Right Workout for You?

I’m still trying to figure out the answer to this question (though I’m tempted to say that the “sitting on my butt in front of the computer all day” workout is the perfect fit). So when I came across this fun quiz from iVillage, I figured, hey, what the heck?
Here are my results:

Get a Lively Life: The Perfect Destination for a Great Date or Fun With the Girls

Last night my husband took me to the driving range to hit a few baskets of balls.  It sounds totally unromantic, but it was a blast!  I particularly enjoyed the cheezy romance movie moment when he put his arms around me to help me perfect my follow-through — it was very Matthew McConaughey and Kate […]

American Idol Interlude: Free at Last

Last night, the puppies and I had a party to celebrate the fact that we’ll never have to listen to Sanjaya again!  We sang, we danced, it was a good time.  (Okay, okay, I sang, I danced, they stared at me.)  Poor Vote for the Worst…  their poster child is gone.  But don’t worry, they’ll […]

American Idol Interlude: Bye Bye, Haley!

NOTE: I’ve been trying to post this since last week.  Mmm, technology issues…

American Idol Interlude: What’s Up With the Crying Girl?

You know how I am, I just love me some American Idol, and this week didn’t disappoint.  I was pretty on board with most of the performances, which was a nice change.  But why all the focus on the crying girl?  And what was she freaking out about? I swear, you’d think Ryan Seacrest had killed […]
