I heart NY

In 80s movies like Working Girl and Baby Boom there's always a montage of smart, successful women strutting down the streets of NYC in their power suits and sneakers. Today that was me. I wore sneakers with my skirt and tights to walk home from work. I looked and felt like a dork but I totally understand why women here wear running shoes with their work clothes--no pair of heels is comfortable after 20 blocks. I'm learning how to be a real New Yorker! (The song that should be playing in your head as you think about those 80s power suit montages is Carly Simon's Let the River Run).

Valentine's Day Movie Trailer

Hope it's good! The cast is amazing.

There are no words...

So much to talk about--Tiger, Tom Brady's baby, cheesy Christmas movies...this is by far the most fascinating thing I've seen this week. Who knew Martha likes her burgers "animal style"?

New Favorite

One of my favorite blogs, dailycandy.com, turned me on to Lypsyl, a great Swedish balm that has been softening lips with coconut oil and beeswax since 1905. Lypsyl has a nice minty flavor and the tube lasts a long time. It's great for chapped winter lips. You can find it at Walgreens, CVS or online at drugstore.com and at $3 it's a great investment.

No need to get up at 4 am to shop...go online!

In the spirit of Black Friday I thought I'd share my new favorite online store. In the last few years I have started doing most of my Christmas shopping online. This year Entertainment Weekly introduced me to delight.com . Thanks EW! It has such fun and funky items for sale. I highly recommend it for those "hard to shop for" family members or friends. The Kor One water bottles are one of my favorite finds. They also have fun 2010 wall calendars, planners and some really cute reusable grocery bags. Happy Shopping!

Waffle shortage coming to a supermarket near you...

Don't leggo your Eggos if you can help it...apparently America is in the midst of an Eggo Waffle Shortage. Flooding from heavy rains in Georgia have temporarily closed a large Eggo Waffle plant, causing a sharp drop in supply. Equipment problems at another large plant in Tennessee means the shortage is spreading.  Is this the biggest challange of Barack Obama's presidency? You'd think so from the hysteria shown on the news. I myself am a fan and frequent purchaser of Eggo waffles...but I'm not going to let this waffle shortage alter my breakfast routine. I won't switch over to Pop Tarts or Toaster Strudel just yet...FYI...Archer Farms' (Target) waffles are just as tasty and even less expensive. Hopefully Kelloggs can right this problem ASAP. Oh, and there's a shortage of pumpkin as well... so if there's an apple pie on your Thanksgiving table this week, that's why.
