The Love List: Thanksgiving Leftovers and My New Best Friend (you’ll want to be her bff too)

43594029.jpg[Welcome to my Weekly Love List. A list, on all things I love. Because if I love them - well then obviously you may (and should) love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes I am actually quoting them) “My Love is All I Have To Give.” So with that throwback, here are this week’s list-worthy things…]

1. Pumpkin Mousse. It may be post-Thanksgiving but while the rest of the world has moved on to egg-nog or latkes, I’m more like Ross Gellar and still craving Thanksgiving leftovers. So if you still need something to be thankful for make this low fat amazing pumpkin mousse and then thank me later.

What you need: 2 Packets instant fat free/sugar free vanilla pudding, 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 2 cups skim milk, one 15 ounce can of pumpkin, and one tub of fat-free Cool Whip. Make the pudding with the milk and once it’s ready, fold in the other ingredients, stick it in the fridge, maybe throw some ginger snaps on top and you’ve got yourself some guilt free leftovers.

2. While I may not love Miley Cyrus, I love this girl who loves Miley Cyrus. Seriously, over 1 million hits, tons of tribute vids back, and over 12 different videos. And those special effects? Ahhhmazing. Check out her version of Disturbia too… I sort of want to be her best friend.

3. Britney Spears’ comeback. I know, I’m a sucker like everyone else, but that magazine cover? The vid? I’ve been working out to old school Brit all week and I’m just rooting that our favorite baldie makes this comeback big (not lame-o like the last one). I know you are all excited for the documentary tomorrow night. Watch it with some pumpkin mousse for a double dose of love. Read More »


How to Avoid an Old Friend Like a Pro

avoidance.gifSometimes I run into people I just don’t want to see. And I usually avoid (at all costs) the opportunity to shmooze for one of two reasons:

1. I don’t like them. I don’t care to hear about their life after high school and I don’t care to hear about it now. Besides I’m almost always way too tired to put on my overly-friendly-pretend-to-care fake voice anyway.

2. I do like them. So much so, I want to impress them. Perhaps said person is cute… and at the moment I’m totally not.

I had myself a case number two the other day in yoga class. Nothing like seeing the “cute-younger- guy who I last saw four years ago and made a fool of myself in front of” while doing a Down Dog, not to mention sweating like Ross Gellar after he tried pivoting that couch. (You all know what episode I am talking about…Pivot!)

Clearly I hoped to have seen “cute guy” at a time when I looked hot — even a half-nice appearance would’ve sufficed. But nooo; the man upstairs likes to put me in awkward situations. Guess I should have taken my mom’s advice….

Due to this unfortunate incident, I’ve come to a realization: when I bump into people I don’t particularly want to see or vice-versa, there is usually an unspoken routine that we all partake in to avoid eye-contact/be recognized.

The Head Down and turn move: you avert your eyes or turn your head in the opposite direction and make it seem as though you are looking at someone else or are extremely engaged in something else. Read More »
