I don’t understand the big deal about Starbucks’ “treat receipts.” You know, you buy something in the morning, get a receipt for a $2 grande drink. They’re doing so much promotional garbage for this when all I spend there at most is $2.20 anyway. Again, another collective fail of the $4 frappucino-guzzling crowd. Call me when you’re giving out free, BLACK, DARK,...

That’s the worst, when it shows up in capital letters as “THE LOFT” on your banking statement

Whenever someone tells me I can’t accomplish something it honestly just gives me more incentive to do it.
When I wear my Mary Jane’s shoes I can escape from a blues The whole world seems a little bit brighter, brighter My heavy steps get a little bit lighter, lighter Whoa my Mary Jane’s When I wear my Mary Jane’s shoes Just like a child under bruise My heart and my soul they feel like I’m seven But from my head to my toes It’s like I’m in heaven, heaven ...

Just watched “Little Women.” Kind of wish I didn’t see that “Friends” episode where Rachel spoils the ending for Joey after he ruins “The Shining” for her. Can’t say I was all that surprised. Still, goodie of a film.

“Lindsay Lohan introduced her very own milkshake recipe recently at a store in West Hollywood. She cleverly named it the ‘Lindsay Lohan.’ It consisted of vanilla and chocolate ice cream and, wait for it, Oreo cookie crumbs. It’s pretty groundbreaking to add Oreos to ice cream, just ask the people over at Breyers who make ‘Oreo Ice Cream.’ However, I was surprised...

Right now I’m rocking out to James Taylor’s Greatest Hits while sipping on Folger’s instant coffee. I’m officially a suburbanite/45-year-old woman.
