So Hot and Cold Right Now

Pretty much everyone in the country has been bitching about how miz the weather is wherever they are. And why wouldnt they?? Its colder than the shoulder Kyle from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" gave to her own sister Kim all season long!


I figured if were all gonna be trapped inside with people that annoy us, pets that were allergic to, laundry we havent done, and the harsh realities that Toddlers and Tiaras 5th season is coming to end, we might as well start to develop some new obsessions. I literally can not think of a more opportune time to become addicted to something. If you can, youre probably a meth addict. No judgment.*

Here are some of the obsessions Im cultivating while I continue to not freeze my ass off.

*Actually, lots of judgment. Dear GOD, have you seen meth face???

1. Hair Flairs

Its not just for 12-year-old girls circa 1997; now everyone can add individual strands of glittery "flairs" to their hair. Okay, maybe not EVERYONE. This look is definitely a little despy for the over-35 crowd. And yes, Adrienne Maloof was wearing them the entire season of TRHOBH. Thank god Im still young enough to pull this look off!! And beautiful, lets not forget very, very beautiful.

Im going to Vegas with a few girlfriends next month and I will 100% be wearing these. I especially like that you can do them yourself without any special equipment and that they come out after a few days.

2. Dexter on Netflix

Okay, I realize Dexter has been on TV for like, a thousand years, but my schedule DVR is always jam packed with such choice programming as Glee, Barefoot Contessa, and RuPauls Drag Race. I simply dont have enough time to get through every show that looks mildly appealing.

However, after reading how much Meg O. loves her some Dexter (like, literally, named-her-cat-after-the-guy obsessed), and Kyle figuring out that the Netflix he streams over Playstation has the first 3 seasons of Dexter, I figure this is the perfect time to add something new to my repertoire.

I just want everyone to know that I did something similar with "Lost" last summer. Like, legit, watched the entire series in 3 months, only AFTER the series came to an end. You may call it "behind the curve", I call it efficient. Me: 1, You: 0.

Anyway, we just got through the first two episodes and Im already hooked. But lets face it, I like any show featuring a hot male lead and lots of food talk.

3. Planning out different recipes I want to try and then not actually doing it.


In what is likely to become my favorite movie all time, Bridesmaids is about to break the stereotype of female-led comedies. I dont exactly know what said stereotype is, but Im pretty sure its that women arent as funny as dudes. Im 98% certain this is a stereotype perpetuated by men...Im leaving a 2% margin of error for the non-humanoid  marketing mokeys over at Groupon (their sense of humor is questionable, to say the least).

So yeah, okay, this movie was directed by Judd Apatow (the dude that brought us 40-Year-Old Virgin and The Hangover), BUT it was also co-written by SNLs breakout talent of the 2000s, Kristen Wiig. And the fun doesnt stop there!! Throw in a dash of the improv genius of Wendi McLendon Covey, a sprinkle of Maya Rudolphs ridiculousness, and a generous dollop of Melissa McCarthy (Jenny McCarthys cousin, nbd) and youve got a recipe for cinematic genius that will likely make you quite literally poop yourself from laughing too hard.

Ive probably watched this preview (and all of the linked videos) about 84 different times, and ya know what? I laugh equally hard each time. Each and every time.

5. Pressuring my boyfriend to move in with me
I swear to god, its not desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, what are you doing to keep yourself from dying a slow, miserable death of boredom in this icy cold weather?
