Spotted: Lonely Girl Getting Lonelier By the Nanosecond

Careful, A. Watching one too many late-night episodes of a certain TV show's scandalously juicy first season online, and your reputation could very well end up on the endangered species/product recall list.

Kristen Bell AKA Hearsay Hussy i.e, Admitting I have a problem, I shamefacedly present to you the following as evidence of my downward spiral:

Not enough? I understand the feeling.



*I've decided to write oxox instead of xoxo because who goes in for a kiss and then a hug? And then repeats the whole thing willynilly throwing both caution and social standing to the wind? That's creepy. One should always test the waters with a hug before deciding to bring lips into the equation. And then repeat for the sake of jurisprudence. Or maybe it should be oxxo, to be completely honest. Of course, I always try to keep PDA out of the PDA (Agh! I can't stop talking like a city rag social columnist).

Bestest,

Do you guys remember Susan Powter? I randomly reached for her name in conversation today, and it was then that I suddenly realized, she wasn't all a dream!

Speaking of fitness, I've really been into the "5 workouts under 5 minutes" theory of staying active these days. Lucky for you, I end up being the PJ-clad teenager doing leg lifts when you call me on the phone, and yes, also the helpless kerfufflewad doing arm curls with my grocery bags.

Mmhmm, totally realize I've said too much.

Self-Helpless? Try a Sugar-Fix!

The more self-help I read, the more I'm learning to not be afraid of negative feelings, but to just embrace them.

Ok!

But what does that mean?

I mean when I'm sad for no (apparent) reason, and it happens from time to time (oh does it happen!), I just sit in it, in a kiddie pool of self-pity, slapping pats of mud on myself. That's really pretty much as embracing as one can get.

Sure, bookstore. Lump a science together with a yuppie trend, why not?

I'm not sure it helps though! People keep talking about some miraculous sense of freedom from embracing their sadness and anger. In fact, it sounds so liberating and mysteriously fulfilling that it almost seems like they're...peacefully happy? Full circle, folks! Those hippies have done it again. And I mean that in a nice, enlightened way.

Read it and weep for joy. But seriously, I love that this article was posted in the Health & Life section. I can think of no better way to bring HEALTH to your LIFE than by consuming a tiny vat full of the love child of butter and sugar. NO BETTER WAY.

Holy sugar-high, Dark Knight!

Surprisingly, it took me a real time to find a good frosting picture. I kept getting icy windowpanes, and that junx would just not do.

Oh, I see. You're perfect.

But Flickr always comes through when your peepers crave colors, shapes, and textures with just a glimmer of reality.
