Happy New Year! Holla!!!! OK, so I am a little late on the New Years resolutions, but I figured everyone else has forgotten theirs by now....so I really just want to rub it in their face in February that I am still working on mine. Plus, I had a few detours in January. One of my favorite quotes from the movie Dodgeball is: "If you can Dodge a Wrench You can Dodge a Ball." Thats kind of how I feel about this last month. So now that I have trained with the wrenches, lets put on some knee socks and PLAY BALL! New Years Resolutions are as followed in no particular order: 1. Blog a lil more. It was going so well...until October when I moved companies, and work consumed my life. Surprisingly I have gotten thousands of hits to my site even during my hiatus. Verdict … [Read more...]
Record day for USC’s Matt Barkley and Robert Woods
Today was like Christmas for me…..why? College football started, and this girl is in heaven! However this Christmas day was like the one you thought you were getting a Barbie dream house, and instead you got the Tonka Truck. Yes, it is still Christmas and still a great day, just not what you expected. While there were several surprises and upsets on this first week, here’s the recap for the USC game….and of course this is from my point of view. If you don’t like it, then I suggest you turn on your ESPN Zone, while my Tonka truck bulldozes my Terry Bradshaw bobble head. USC took on the Minnesota Gophers. I asked my facebook followers a few days ago, the top ten ways to kill a gopher; and apparently the only two players that read Bab’s Cliff Notes were Robert Woods … [Read more...]
Pranks
A recent study published by health psychology showed that those who are happy at work live longer than those who are not. A study was done with 820 adults over a 20 year period at the same job and those with low social support at work were 2.4 times more likely to die during those two decades. I know you are wondering when this turned into a science/ behavioral blog but stick with me. While there are several external forces that can make your job suck ass, there is one way to make your job more fun, and that is with good old fashion practical jokes. So....for those of you with no creativity or those down in the doldrums, I am offering you some things that I have done in the work place, to make it fun, and get some laughs. Please note....althought I am a woman, some of these … [Read more...]
Designer Umbrellas and more for Hurricane Irene
OK friends; I hate to talk about the weather, because I feel like only boring people who have nothing else to talk about discuss the weather. However, in case you've been living under a rock our country is experiencing the terrible Hurricane Irene. Which, as a side note....every time I hear about hurricane Irene, I want to start singing the "Come On Eileen" song, and insert Irene where Eileen is, which I know is totally messed up, but that's how my brain works. Deal with it....or stop reading my blog. Anyways, we are experiencing a true tragedy here in the United States, simply based on the fact that it really is hard to dress for a hurricane. So let me do my good deed for the week and offer those living through Irene some fashion ideas, while I reside in the heat wave … [Read more...]

Pregnant Ladies Take Over Orange County
The” P” word! Very sad to say that this article is not about Penis but about pregnancy. I call it the “P” word because I really think that it is being used in a Loosey Goosey fashion lately. I just found out that the third girl in my close group of girlfriends in pregnant. So…..whats a girl who's never been married and doesn't have kids to do when everything’s popping up babies in Orange County? Well, I have a few options: a) compensate for the prego ladies, or b) relate as best as I can c) joke about it. Compensate Sorry ladies. You can’t drink, you’re fat, you can’t travel, for the first time in your life you’re not excited to shop, and you now have to give up many of your favorite foods. Yup….it sucks. There’s no other way to say it. Time for me to … [Read more...]
San Diego Urban Dare Adventure Race Before the Madness
How long does it take to get to a fight? I feel like it’s that stupid Tootsie Pop commercial where they ask how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. It’s the unknown question but inevitably the first fight will happen in any relationship. Currently I am in the 3 month honeymoon stage with the Swede. I shouldn’t act like its nothing. Things have been going wrong in the first three months in just about every other love interest of mine in the last two years. But in this one, things are magically delicious. There have been no fights and no urge to say anything bitchy that would start one. So, being the crazy person that I am, I have decided to put our sickening bliss to the test. Have you ever seen The Amazing Race? Perfectly loving … [Read more...]
Dental Spas in Orange County
There are few times that I am at a loss for words, however, I am not really a person to just sit there and ramble on. I like to participate in conversation not dictate it. I am sure you have all met a conversation dictator. You know, when the only words you are able to get in is “uh-huh”, “I see”, and “oh really?” I typically despise people that are conversation dictators. I guess it brings me back to my ex-step mom, who not only was a conversation dictator, but a complete liar as well, which is the absolute worse combo. It was really cool that MY step mom was Superwomen’s stunt double, and was on the Olympic Ski Team, and was a screen play writer that wrote for Seinfeld. And then I found out they were ALL lies. Way to crush a kid’s dreams and send them to … [Read more...]
Meaning of Poke on Facebook
Being the facebook queen that I am I often times have friends and family come to me expecting me to explain something to them about Facebook. Well yesterday we had to go back to Facebook basics with a friend of mine that is slightly Facebook impaired. “What is a Poke?” He asked. Me:” Its something that is really annoying. It is basically a person that wants attention and is saying: ‘Look at me.’” Him: “What does two pokes mean.” Me: “It means they want to screw you.” He didn’t believe me. Sooooo……I decided to do a little research. I went to my own wall and looked at all of my pokes. Sure enough: 27 pokes; all from men. And then, being the Regis Philbin lover that I am, I decided to “Poll the Audience.” Here was the … [Read more...]
Ways to Pass Time During Carmageddon
Everyone is freaking out about Carmageddon. With one day left to go I figured there are still a lot of people who may need some help in saving their sanity while on the road, and I’m really here to help the public, so decided to give you some suggestions to pass the time while sitting in the parking lot know as the 5 freeway. You can repay me by writing threat notes to the state legislators about bringing the carpool sticker back for Prius’s so I don’t have to sit in traffic. Get truckers to honk I know you all miss the days when you would put your arm up in an L shape and motion it up and down to get truckers to honk their fabulous deep horns. I actually have to resist the urge to do this as an adult, but I think during Carmageddon all rules go out the window and it is … [Read more...]
