I’ve now officially lost 5 lbs with http://apps.facebook.com/hcgslim/. Has anyone else tried it? If not, I highly recommend!

…but there’s limited reading material while getting your nails done and frankly, in this month’s issue, I hit the jackpot with this amazing flashback into their history.  It’s a wonder any of us ever made it into the world if this is what our mothers were paying attention to.

The Worst Advice We’ve Ever Printed
Okay, we’re not perfect- so please forgive us. And remember, times were different then. Waaay different.

• “A woman is dominated only by default. She makes decisions-little decisions, big decisions, medium-size decisions-only when her escort, her fiance, or her husband leaves them up to her.” - “The Fight for Love,” July 1960

• “Diet all week, or don’t eat before you go to a party; fast all day except for raw hamburger for strength. You’ll feel thin and attractive.” “How To Turn a Man On.” April 1968

• “Hand kissing is no longer limited to gentlemen. A woman should freely practice kissing men’s hands. The back of the hand is acceptable.” - Cosmo’s how to do it greeting guide.” November 1968

• “Write his thank you notes…Do needle point while he watches…Take his pulse (even if you don’t know how)…Pumice his calluses…Frolic in his chest hairs.” “Things to do with your hands that men like,” February 1970

• “To make love grow…plant an onion in a previously unused pot, and encourage the onion to grow with all the care with which you would nuture a rose.” - “Try Witchcraft” - May 1973

• “[If] you don’t have another [man] on the scene at the moment, I suggest you invent one…Send yourself flowers, have your girlfriends call you when he’s there, and take the call in the other room.” - “Never be faithful to a married man.” - August 1973

went to in vino tonight, haven’t been there in a while and forgot how great it is - for all you NYers.  it’s like a little cave in there and a nice alternative to supper and max on the weekends since the wait is either short or non-existent.  don’t get me wrong, i think nothing beats supper, but in a pinch if you don’t feel like waiting.  lasagna was amazing, rigatoni special and artichoke appetizer as well and the wine options on the cheap are great.  only complaint is that we went for the tiramisu for the big finish and um…it was FROZEN.  no, no, no…as an italian and well, someone who’s eaten in an italian restaurant ever…that is just wrong.  BUT, we mentioned it when they asked why we hadn’t finished and they took it off the bill, so all in all…good stuff.

as i said, i don’t really even know what this whole blogging experience is going to be, but here we go.  so for this first post, all i’ll say is whoever invented DVR and whoever produces Friday Night Lights - bless you. now
