Loading ...I’m a shy person. I’ve gotten a little better over the years, but the thought of speaking to a roomful of people or even just one new person still terrifies me. And parties…the thought of going to a party is basically like hell on earth.
So in a way, it’s natural that I don’t drink. Drinking […]

Comments (23) Celebrities and Their TINY Dogs: How I Hate Them
March 16, 2008 - 3:30 pm
How do I hate celebrities with tiny dogs? Let me count the ways.
First, they treat their dogs as accessories. While I traditionally think that any dog smaller than a microwave is ugly, it’s not a tiny dog’s fault that he or she was born tiny. It is, however, a celebrity owner’s fault if she treats […]

Comments (2) Locks of Love: A Great Reason to Get a Hot Haircut
March 15, 2008 - 3:00 pm
On my list of all-time most annoying things in the entire world, having long hair ranks right up there with people who purposely screech their fingernails on chalkboards and drivers who cut you off and then give you the finger.
I don’t mind long hair on other people (especially guys, ‘cuz that’s hot). I mind long […]

Comments (0) American Idol–Minus a David
March 13, 2008 - 12:30 pm
American Idol was downright bizarre last night. Any show with three guys named David, and Jim Carrey in an elephant suit, is bound to get ratings though—I guess.
Honestly, I’m just not all that into American Idol this season. The singers seem tepid to me. Sure, I miss the liveliness that my Sanjaya threw into the […]

Comments (1) One-Serving Eggplant Parmesan
March 12, 2008 - 11:30 am
Eggplant parmesan… the words make my mouth water, and for good reason. Eggplant parmesan is generally thought of as restaurant food, and seems a little ambitious to make it at home—let alone for just yourself.
But not anymore! This recipe takes prep time, but makes up for it in the simplicity and health factors (it’s all […]

Comments (0) Sweet Potato Cakes: Mm, MM, Good
March 10, 2008 - 11:30 am
If you think sweet potatoes are just for Thanksgiving, think again.
I know, I know—the words “sweet potato” don’t exactly conjure up images of delicious little frosted cakes, but they will after you try this recipe.
One small (the size of a small apple) sweet potato will make enough for two one-serving cakes or four sweet potato […]

Comments (0) Hats Off to Cool Accessories
March 9, 2008 - 2:30 pm
I am a firm believer that the accessories make the outfit. Too many people spend too many hours trying to pair their socks with their polo shirts or their Uggs with their jackets. If you’re decked out with fun accessories, no one else cares what you’re wearing because you’ll look great regardless.
And since I know […]

Comments (3) Why I Hate Girls…Or At Least, How They Act
March 9, 2008 - 10:30 am
I’m not sure how I can say this without offending pretty much all of CC’s readership, but I really don’t like girls very much.
Yes, I know that I am one. Yes, I realize that makes me hypocritical.
So before you all jump on the attack bandwagon, let me at least explain my position. It’s not girls […]
