Wall Street in Photos
It seems that the end of days are here for Wall Street so why not have a chuckle before it hits all of our pocket books. Chime in with any images you come across of wall street folks in a state of dismay, or even better with that all too familiar 'facepalm' on the market floor.

The Overrated in New York
"Really? This is it?" That's how I feel sometimes when the clock strikes midnight on New Years or you see a really crappy fireworks display or you go to a bragged-about restaurant and it sucks. Overrated! What do you make scornful "Whatever" hands for?

I'm strangely attracted to, (FILL IN THE BLANK)
You can't explain attraction, sometimes it just HITS. You're walking along, minding your business and BAM! the next thing you know you're checking out the odd shaped hairy UPS guy and you're totally swooning. Alright, maybe not that extreme but you know what I mean. Some people call it chemistry, fate, "sparks", crushing....and sometimes I just call it strange. As you get older it's easier to deal with your offbeat love interests, so tell me, who are YOU strangely attracted to?? Or maybe, WHA...

Halloween Costumes - I need help
So Halloween is coming up and as usual I need ideas for what to be. I not only have to figure this out for myself but also for my kids. What is everyone going to be this year? Also feel free to share what you were last year. I have no shame in being seen as unoriginal. If you think mid-September is too early for this well you are wrong. I can start talking about Halloween because the stores have all their Halloween stuff out already, so there.

.jpg "The Deal Breaker")
The Deal Breaker
We've all experienced the inevitable bump along the road o' romance, the moment when "deal breaker" flashes across your mind and you know it's over. Sigh. He picks at his toenails during dinner; she likes to burp in public; he still says "gnarly" and thinks it's cool; her biggest life goal is to be a Jersey housewife; he thought "My Mother The Car" was a really good show.
.jpg "Our Fabulous Fifty States")
Our Fabulous Fifty States
I think it would be so cool to visit -- not land in, or fly over, or drive though, but visit -- each of our fifty states during my lifetime. And while every state has its bad, they all have their unique, quirky, and one-of-a-kind draws and characteristics. What was your favorite thing about the state you grew up in, or about a state you've lived in or visited? Was it a place, the weather, the food, the men (or ladies) that made it so great? What do you love about where you live now? Ad...
.jpg "Office Pranks")
Office Pranks
I'm kind of an anomaly because I've never had an office job, never had a cube/desk to call my own. No complaints here, but I feel like I miss out on the good stuff about offices. Not the office politics, not the bland-looking break rooms, not the memos. But mainly, the pranks. Every time I watch "The Office," which I realize is NOT most offices, I look dreamily at Jim, laugh at everything Dwight says and does, and a little part of me wishes I understood that kind of workplace. What office pra...

Best French Fries in Denver
I like all kinds of fries--thick cut steak fries, twice fried Belgian-style, shoestrings, even sweet potato fries. I love fries so much I generally eat them before my entree. And no ketchup! Only lame, cold fries deserve this fate. If you love fries as much as I do, share your favorites here! Extra credit for sweet potato fries...yummy!

The Hottest Mother-Lovers on the Internet
Maybe (Primarily) because mi corazon is on the opposite coast attending one of her many work related seminars, I've decided to get a little saucy with the guidespot and make a guide that'll finally give me the fucking props that I deserve! Who can honestly claim that they've never gone online to troll for pictures of good looking women (and men, I suppose) in the pursuit of appeasing our lustful nature? Guy or girl, feel free to add your three cents. I am so going to regret this, but the t...

Coolest Jobs Ever
The other day I was browsing Craigslist and saw a job posting to work in a cheese store. And I was like wow, that must be the coolest job ever.

Breaking the Rules in New York
"Rules were meant to be broken" my mother always said. And like a good daughter, I obeyed her! Supposedly I have a sneaky, scheming, plotting look in my eyes that has been there from the beginning. Combine that with some cuteness, and I can pretty much get away with murder. It's really a curse to have these attributes, as I never learn a lesson if I keep getting away with things! Five years in New York=lots of time to break the rules in one of the most exciting cities in the world. What have ...

The Official Guide to Mom Pants- Yup, they're back!
We've all seen them. Tapered blue jeans hugging our mom's ankles, high waisted, making their bottoms look, FLAT. It might be our own mothers, or mothers we see at the grocery store, or on the street. Now they are dominating our fashion magazines once again. Regardless, they are out there. If you see one out and about, please stop her to snap a photo or to inform her how FABULOUS she looks! But never tell her she is wearing The Mom Pants, because she will say, "There is nothing wrong with my ...

.jpg "Workout Video Stars: The Good, The Bad and the Sweaty")
Workout Video Stars: The Good, The Bad and the Sweaty
At some point, nearly everyone gets the ridiculous idea that it's time to get "in shape." I am no exception and as such, have sampled many different fitness regimes including a vast sampling of the Home Workout Video type. I do have a gym membership, but sometimes (espcially in the L.A. landscape) you would just rather sweat and jiggle in private. I've spent money on too many of these videos myself, so maybe my reviews can help someone avoid similar infomercial-induced mistakes. I bet I'm...

North Denver, South Denver, Downtown, it doesn't matter, what are your favorite places for a great caffeinated drink? Chains only count if you've got a good reason.
.jpg "The Tao of Celebrities")
The Tao of Celebrities
Things are different for celebrities. The rules and laws that apply to the average citizen don't apply to them; moral norms and values fly out the window in almost every aspect of their lives. And their immense wealth affords them almost ridiculous luxuries that make no sense to us civilians. Prepare to roll your eyes and cancel your subscription to US Weekly. (Or, renew it. Either one.)
