Wedding Time!!

So this is my last day at work this week before MY WEDDING! I'm pretty excited, but haven't really had the time to sit down and enjoy what's happening just because I've been sooooo busy working and finalizing plans and ridiculous details like napkin colors, the number of people at each table, the exact hue of ribbon that I need to buy for the card box, etc.

Never again will I get married - too crazy to plan! I'm also going to encourage my sister to elope when she decides to get married so I can avoid the whole planning mess again! But seriously, I can't be more excited to be actually getting married.

Next step - honeymoon - then I'll be back to real life :) Please be nice to the DJs who are working while I'm out playing!

Celebrity Grossness

A few beloved celebrity ladies have really started looking sickly recently, especially Madonna and certain pictures of Angelina Jolie. (This picture is from Eonline!)


Look how terrible their arms look - super skinny and veiny and unhealthy! I know my arms (for starters) are not the best - but c'mon ladies... a sandwich or a milkshake goes a long way!

Fitness experts say that celebs' skin looks all veiny because they are not eating much salt and that keeps them from retaining water - the result = skinny celebrities.

Overall, everyone looks better with at least a LITTLE weight on them... no one wants to see your full bone structure! Are these ladies too skinny or lookin' good?

Sleeping At Work

The trend keeps growing - many employers are allowing (if not encouraging) their employees to take time out of their busy workdays to take a powernap. Research has shown that sleep deprivation results in impaired memory, motor skills, and decision making.

Naps have been shown to improve all those conditions plus they help to reduce stress and even heart disease!

Google features special (crazy looking) napping pods for their employees to get some quick shut-eye. Other companies offer employees the option to include massages and aromatherapy during their resting periods.

Given the chance, I would ABSOLUTELY take a nap at work. I would even go as far to say it could positively influence a decision when on the job-hunt. Is there a downside to this at-work napping??

Foul Ball "Didn't" End Relationship

Picture this: You're at a baseball game with your boyfriend, a foul ball is heading right for you in the stands... your boyfriend takes cover, getting away from the line drive THEN you get hit with the ball.

Yeah, not my idea of fun either. As you've probably seen, it happened. The newly famous couple then sat down on the Early Show on CBS to talk about the incident.

Needless to say, this guy will probably never hear the end of it from his friends about how he ran away from a baseball while his lady go hit (nor should he) - but it got worse. The hosts asked the couple if they were still together - and she quietly replied, "It's not over because of the ball."

AWKWARD.

Why I Like Jessica Simpson

Many times, celebrities can't control which pictures of them show up in the newspaper, online, in magazines, etc. If they look terrible, they can't usually help where the photo ends up. That has to be frustrating.

HOWEVER-
Jessica Simpson posted on Twitter possibly the strangest and most uncomfortable looking picture of her kissing her new boyfriend Eric Johnson (formerly of the San Francisco 49ers). It's not even a remotely attractive photo of either person!
Even though Jessica Simpson doesn't come off as the smartest girl in town, it's still great that she can be herself and have fun with her boyfriend. Way to go Jess!

My New Car... Yeah Right!

Chevrolet has finally announced the price of their new Volt... (drumroll)... $41,000 or you can lease for $350/month. While it is too expensive for someone of my financial status, the lease payment makes it pretty affordable, considering you would hardly have to use any gas throughout the year! (Plus, for anyone seriously considering the car, there's a pretty big tax write off too.)

The Volt runs 40 miles on battery power, but has a reserve tank of gasoline that will get you an additional 300 miles (so you don't get stranded). I want this car!!!! (Keep dreaming)

Wild Hookups On New Bachelor Pad Show???? NOOOOOO

ABC's crazy new show Bachelor Pad promises to publicly embarrass a choice group of singles AGAIN on national TV. I love the concept of the show: take the favorite castoffs from previous Bachelor and Bachelorette shows and make them live together in a house. These people were desperate for love the first time around - I CAN'T WAIT until this show gets started - I can only imagine how wild it's going to be!!

These daters DO have an advantage though that most others don't have... they can check out all the previous seasons of the show and figure out who the crazies are!

Apparently a few people did not do their homework (pictured to the left):

Kasey Kahl (from Ali's current season - he's the one who got tattooed for Ali) found a hookup partner in Natalie Getz, who is billed as the "Make Out Bandit" in the upcoming show. Yeah, definitely avoid the guy who gets tattooed for a woman he met only a few weeks prior. Nice. Plus, there are already rumors of car accidents and fights, so I'm sure this show is going to be a winner.

Who else is in? The show starts August 9th.
