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!
