FitFlops

So I've already told you that I am absolutely one to fall for gimmicks. Remember that drink Orbitz? I loved it. I believed in that green tea that made you lose weight, that lipgloss that whitened your teeth, and the vitamin that made you smarter. It's no surprise that when I was presented with the FitFlop - I truly believed they would change my life, my legs and my cellulite. And then they did. They actually work. They cost me about $50, and aren't the most post footwear I've ever worn, but that have given my legs the work out they said, and toned me up a wee bit as well. It's a bit like walking on sand, as you have to balance yourself, but you quickly adjust. Friends and lovely boyfriend were surprised to hear "I want to walk there! " right after I got them. But the idea of squeezing in a lazy man's buns of steel while walking The MonChiChi or heading out to make frivolous WalGreens purchases - makes this lady want to walk.

And who said we couldn't dress?

Bacon of the Month

Buying this for the lovely boyfriend might make the best girlfriend in the world. But - I'd probably eat too many slices myself and ask him to buy me bikini boot camp. Read more about how to enrich your man's life, one cholesterol point at a time.

The Dreaded Sunday Night.

This is the best introduction to any book that I have ever read.

Read here if you are a woman in your 20s, 30s, or a man wanting to understand why your girlfriend is freaking out.

Amen sister. Or "girlfriend." Lovely boyfriend noticed that when I talk to girls, or girls in groups, I often say "girlfriend." I think he thought I used it as a serious term - or perhaps as a secret term that we girls use when we're not busy talking about Tampons and David Beckham. I then told him, yes, I say 'girlfriend' because it unifies us in the girlfriend-womanship. Great, now he just thinks I'm crazy.

And speaking of the unity of girlfriend-womanship, we were listening to the radio and alanis morrisette popped up singing 'You Oughta Know." Lovely boyfriend then told me that he thought Alanis sang "the cross eyed bear that you gave to me....you, you you oughta know" He went on to say that it really would be pretty lame to get a cross eyed bear. I laughed so hard I forgot we were driving through Drchster.
