White bike shorts

It's a No No.  White pants, yes - well maybe depending on a number of factors: fit, style, he/she who is wearing the pants  But BIKER SHORTS - must never be worn.

because sweaty + ass = not attractive (on anyone)

holy hubba hubba

So last month other than celebrating one of the greatest days ever (my birthday.... which entailed ALOT of imbibing... for weeks), I officially became a god parent.

It was pretty awesome because:

1. my god kids are rad
2. I didn't combust into flames at the church
3. am kinda Catholic (more on that below) so I can now use my powers for evi....good. yeah.
4. spent the weekend with one of my besties (we would get into soooo much trouble if we lived closer which could be entertaining.. if we could finagle a reality tv show around us.. but alas)

so.. I'm kinda Catholic because during the ceremony..... I had to renounce evil.  Now.... before you get all judgey on me, you should know that I was in shock that nothing happened when I crossed the church threshold and the renouncing questions took me by surprise.  I didn't cross my fingers or anything.  I'm not gonna lie, I was a little bummed until I realized I could use this power of 'god parent' to have the kids do my bidding something like: "you have to let me give you big hugs and kisses now, it's what God would want".  Muah haha ha.  being sorta good, isn't all bad.

Gettin over on da man

K, you know how I LOVE to buy things? I do this cause I cut corners on other things like Electricity and am uber cheap and shop at the Asian market for produce.

Seriously.... my Pepco bill is under $30, I don't have a land line, internet or cable. It's like living in the dark ages at my place, if the Dark Ages had kick a$$ shoes, and a bitchin wardrobe. Granted you need to keep your sweater on at my place... but you can't have everything. I'm a firm believer in indulging but NOT if you can't and if it causes financial duress. Plus I really really like deals. Even if I were a millionaire I'd still get my jollies off of scoring deals.

So, here's my good deed of the year, get the Southwest Rewards card! It's worth the $99 annual fee cause there is a promo for 50,000 points - which is equivalent to $500 in rewards gift cards or 2 round trip tickets on Southwest.

I signed up last year and the annual fee was $69, you get the 50k point after you place your first transaction. I bought $40 in groceries... I mean I was going to spend it anyways. Now for $99 annual fee you will get 6000 points on your anniversary (opposed to 3000 points... what I get). 6000 points equates to about $100 for a flight or about $50 in rewards gift cards.... so the card practically pays for itself. The promo of 50k points is worth it alone, even if you don't keep it for a year. You need to pay the annual fee in the first billing cycle then whatever you purchase in the next... (you HAVE to buy something within a couple weeks of getting the card to get the points) but did you do the math? It's like getting $400 for NOTHING.
FREE.
Merry X-Mas!
Happy Birthday!

The image shows some of the gift cards you can get. It's legit, I scored some cards for Walmart (groceries), Marshal's (for future presents) & Sephora (for me).

Ha!! I win!

TMI

Is there a gentle way of letting someone know that they divulge a little too much information about themselves?

This is one of my new years or maybe lifetime solutions. How to kindly detract, obvert, or dissuade people from talking about past convictions, issues with bodily fluids, medical conditions and the such.

really. it's unnecessary and creeps people out. Any advice?

Fav TV shows

People often come to me for my sound advice in fashion, shopping, eats, snarkyness and the like.

I'm a public service worker, it's my duty to help those in need. So in the spirit of the holidays I've decided to share my favorite shows. I look forward to your comments to see whether you agree or disagree or have any other suggestions. Remember nothing too cerebral. Now, make an assessment!

1. True Blood - it's in Season 5, on in June. It's about Vampires, Humans, Werewolves and all things supernatural. It's like a sexy, scandalous, freaky soap opera with lots of hubba hubba and bom chicka bow wow. Based on novels by Charlaine Harris (which are also awesome). On HBO.
2. The Walking Dead - it's in Season 2, currently on hiatus until 2/12 so you have ample time to catch up. It's about.... Zombies. Once you get past the zombie plot, it's really a character study on human nature and what people do under adversity. Pretty interesting to see all the characters and their growth. On AMC.
3. American Horror Story - Season 1 just finished this December. It's about people in haunted houses. It's dark and delish and chaulk full of death and mayhem. I don't want to give too much away. On FX.
4. Once Upon a Time - Season 1. A twist on the classic fairy tales focusing on Snow White and the Evil Queen. Great stories and characters and is one of the only shows on my list you can watch with kids. On ABC, back on 1/8.
5. Shameless - it's in Season 2, revamp of British show about drunk slacker dad, and his family focusing on their antics to make ends meet. Really good story especially in lieu of the current economic situation. On Showtime, back on 1/8.
6. Game of Thrones - it's in Season 2, really kick ass story about the Stark family and the politics/kingdoms of their land. It has a dark, fantasy, medieval feel. There is much scheming, treachery, and fighting. On HBO, back on 4/15.
7. Hell on Wheels - Season 1. About the building the railroads in the wild west, it's really good. There's a soldier, a freedman, indians,and a greedy railroad tycoon. It's hella good. On AMC.
