A quick one about how my life would be easier...
if my EFFING* IPHONE would stop reprimanding me in the most passive-aggressive way possible.
Instead of acting like the all-knowing Google Search Engine, just let me type what Imma type!
No, iPhone, I didn’t mean “he’ll,” I meant “HELL.” As in: Why the HELL won’t you let me swear? Why in the HELL are you tryin’ to knock my hustle?
I also didn’t mean “shut,” I meant “SHIT.” As in: “You’re just...
The one about our wedding...
Or: THE ONE ABOUT OUR WEDDING!!!!!!!! (And I NEVER use more than one exclamation point!) Or: The one where I use a lot of (parentheses) and CAPITALS
Me, myself, not being the mushiest mush that ever mushed (I hate heart graphics/jewelry/designs, romantic comedies and The Notebook - deal with it.) am just beside myself with mushy excitement, impatient anticipation and love, love, love* for our...

“You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well-read or too...”
– Tim Gunn (via elizabethanne)
Making it work since Project Runway hit the airwaves - and, obviously, long before that. It’s not about fashion, friends, it’s about relevance and hunger.

The one who made it work last week...
GIFSoup
In a close race for this week’s “Making it Work Like WHOA” award — BJ Raji takes the cake…and probably ate it, too. CanNOT stop watching this. Homeboy deserves every ounce of wiggle and jiggle for defensive players everywhere.
Honorable mentions:
Aaron Rodgers for being, well, a bit of a bad ass.
Mike Tomlin for his impressive beatdown and ever-present Omar...

The One (of Many) About How I Have the Best...
Jessica: I have some laundry to do, too...but that's easy. Put it in, wait, take it out and fold it.
Jessica: I almost left out the fold it so you could say “that’s what she said."

The One About Reasons to Love Heated Power Yoga on...
Oh, Heated Power Yoga, why you hurt me so good?
The inability to walk/raise arms above shoulders/sit/rotate head and the sense of pride that accompanies the excruciating pain.*
The opportunity to pick an intention - a person, place, thing or idea - and dedicate those steamy, sweaty and empowering 75 minutes to it. Usually I choose a person whom I love dearly and don’t see enough and send...

“Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you...”

Oh, hey there, Wednesday…let’s pad our numbers, eh?

Resolutions: How I See 'Em - Or - The one about...
How many of you have actually kept your 2011 resolutions? If you have, feel free to stop reading and bookmark for next week. You know, when you stop keeping them. If you haven’t stayed quite so on-task as you’d hoped, feel, at very least, accomplished for having created one/some in the first place. You’re steps ahead of me. The thing is - I like succeeding too much to set myself...
“we need to make books cool again. if you go home with somebody and they don’t...”
– john waters (via devonlynn)
I’d also avoid any tiny mustaches, but hey, if they’re well read, what’s a little off-putting facial hair. Preach, Waters.
“Laziness is often mistaken for patience.”
– French Proverb | Submitted by ohwellnevermind (via quote-book)
Henceforth and forever more my justification for impatience. And love for the French.

The one about how Communicator saved my edamame's...
Me: Hey, do you have any salt over there?
My HOT co-worker: No, but there's some by the printer.

The one about HR best practices.
Suggestions and observations for those people in the business of people. (Disclaimer: I don’t presume to tell anyone how to do their job but they insisted on feedback, sooooo…)
Assume that I can read — it’s fair. The only thing worse than Powerpoint presentations are being read to, word-for-word, from said snoozefests.
Furthermore, on the topic of literacy, please make sure that you have some....

“I almost got Swarovski-encrusted True Religions. [Empty, thick silence.] What?...”
– My MOM. God love her.
I’ll give my family this…they know precisely what to say to make it look like they couldn’t possibly live their lives properly without me nearby. But, if they think for one minute that feigned threats of poor fashion choices will entice The Feyonce and me to...

How To Live in New York City →
Move here when you’re 18 or 22, maybe even 24. Come from somewhere else-the north, south, west, Xanadu- and come to realize that everyone living in New York is a transplant. Even the ones who grew up on the Upper East Side end up moving into a place downtown, which, as you’ll soon discover, is like moving to a different city.
Discover the cruel and bizarre world of New York City real estate....

“I have a gym in my house. The thing is, though, I’m only trying to live longer...”
– Ricky Gervais, certified genius. (via fullcredit)
I actually said this, more of an “As told by Ricky Gervais.” People get us confused all the time.
