Leaving for a mini vacay to Charleston tomorrow and I am BEYOND excited! I've never been and I have heard nothing but the most amazing things about that place, so I know I am going to have the best time! I will be sure to take lots of pictures to post!
See you on Monday!

3 days of Grinches
You know, yesterday I wrote the nicest blog about my Santas being the girls in my book club and how excited I was to have everyone over, and how smart and beautiful we are all, and you know what happened? They all skipped out on me! Well, all except Charlotte, who was super nice to still come and drink the sangria I made and watch Gossip Girl after a brief book club discussion! Anyways, they have now become the Grinches of the 3rd, because I was excited, and then they burst my bubble big time!

Dakota Fanning's new do
Why am I coveting a 15-year old's look? This photo from Teen Vogue of Dakota Fanning looks great! America's little sweetheart is growing up!
Seriously, this is the best long bob I've seen in awhile. I like it because it's a "long" long bob. And I am a fan of the long bob! Usually my long bob of choice belongs to Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm normally known to rock the long bob, but due to a really bad haircut, I had to chop off a few more inches (hence the Katie Holmes).
Me thinks me needs to grow my hair!

The Grinch that Stole Christmas and the Santa Claus that Brought it Back
Read here for this month’s blogging topic.
As yesterday was the first, I’m going to start off with my Grinch. Yesterday, it was the Sexual Deviant from the gym. You can read the background information here. Yesterday, he had a new move! And it was the grossest I’ve ever seen! He started off in sort of a downward dog yoga move and proceeded to gyrate towards the ground, thrusting his pelvic into the ground, then tilting it forward, arching his back and coming back to starting position.
I will let this sink in for a little bit.
Yes, it was disgusting! DISGUSTING! And of course, everything he does is now magnified 100 x because he’s such a sick mother effer. I just don’t get why he insists on doing this in the middle of the gym room. Please, for the love of social normalcy, please go into a side room, or in the back corner, or somewhere where you aren’t in direct vision of every person in the gym, no matter what they are doing. The worst part was, his shorts started to rise up showing his thin upper thighs, which of course were ten shades whiter than his lower legs. Ugh, I’m throwing up a bit in my mouth thinking about him.
I wish I had some sort of clever transition, but I don’t.
Today’s Santa is my book club group as we have a meeting today. Even though we're pretty small and have failed to actively recruit any new members, we have a great time, and I am always impressed by our intellectual conversation. Last month, we solved the mystery of "The Turn of the Screw." Yes! We are that smart! Anyways, anytime I'm with these girls, I get in a good mood and have a great time, so today they are dubbed as the first Santas!

This morning, I did not feel so hot. I wasn’t able to wake up early to get to the gym this morning, which only set the day off on the wrong foot. So, what did I do last night that made me unable to get up this morning? If you guessed I had a wild, drunken debacle, you’d be….WRONG! Unfortunately it’s nowhere near that glamorous or face saving.
Last night for dinner, I had a huge blue burger with fries and three glasses of wine. Ok, already, my stomach is turning, is yours? When I got home, I needed to make the sangria and chop up some veggies for book club. While I’m doing this, I remember I have a brie wheel in my fridgerator – for book club tomorrow. As I’m chopping up veggies and fruit, I hear the cheese wheel calling me. At first, it was just a tempting whisper, but those whispers got louder and louder and eventually the fridge was all but opening up the door and throwing the cheese in my direction! So, did I do the smart thing and resist temptation? Go to bed? No! I ate the cheese! And then I ate some more! And more, just a nibble here, and another nibble there, and next thing I know, I ate the entire brie wheel! Yes! I ate an entire brie wheel in one sitting, after I had already gorged on a cheeseburger, fries and alcohol. I wish I could blame it on being drunk, but the truth of the matter was I was only buzzing (I guess all the food soaked it up pretty well).
This morning around 1 am, I woke up feeling miserable and really hot. I had an honest to goodness tummyache. Like an 8 year old after Halloween. I lay there in my bed moaning and rubbing my tummy. I decided there was no way I’d be able to make it to the gym, although, honestly, it would have been the best thing to work off the brick of cheese in my stomach, so I changed the alarm from 5 am to 7 am. It seems as though I was rewarding my bad behavior by allowing myself to sleep an extra two hours. But then again, wasn’t the stomach ache punishment enough? Or was it just what I deserved?
I still feel a little bloated and narsty this morning, but I’m on a mission to turn the day around. I have book club, and I’ll just have to have the veggies, no cheese. Besides I already ate enough for a month’s worth of book clubs, this will be my punishment.
And I sit here wondering why I can’t lose those last 20 lbs! Hope I enjoy the brie as much when I’m dying alone because no one wanted to marry my fat ass!

THANKFUL day 30
Here it is! The last day of being thankful. And am I going to sign off with a nice "I'm so thankful I have so much to be thankful for!?" HECK NO! Today, I'm thankful for the complete whackjobs.
Odd signing off choice, I know, but I had a field day today with crazies. At first blush, I thought it would make perfect fodder for today's blog, and I hate to disappoint, but that's not what today is about. Today it's about the good in these crackpots, how I am thankful that they are out there because they remind me of how sane and centered I am, and how sane and centered my true friends are. I am thankful because without the crazies you don't know just how good you got it!
On a more important note, however, I do want to say I am also thankful that I am so blessed and have not only the 30 listed items to be thankful for, but a countless number of more things ranging from serious, funny, or somewhere in between.
