Just discovered the CougarLife.com commercials and I have to confess they’re my new favorite, awesomely terrible, thing. And considering the amount of time I spent working with World Championship Wrestling that’s saying a lot.  Now I’m not knocking 45 year old women prowlin’ for young meat (have at it ladies!) but I am calling out a marketing campaign that’s selling sexual empowerment with the image of a short bald guy wiping the sweat of desire off of his brow with a whole wheat sandwich. PS, the other three don’t count because we all know that young straight guys never look like that.

Watch and enjoy… but don’t fall for it you Cougars.

Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend… especially my sexy Cougars!

You ever have one of those days where all you want to do is throw a batch of brownies in the oven, DVR Kill Bill 2 and browse youtube until it’s time to dress for dinner? Yea me too…

Vegan brownies are in the oven, Kill Bill has replaced the Olympics and here’s my latest youtube find – I’m seriously dying. The world (especially Boulder) definitely needs more Steve Kardynals!

Found one more and it’s to my current favorite song – I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

Happy Weekend!

The Diva of all Divas, Whitney Houston Dies At The Age Of 48

Whitney HoustonFor those of us who grew up blasting cassettes of Whitney’s love pop while stalking high school crushes in the old family station wagon, this is a very sad day.

As the original counselor of Girl Power, Whitney inspired us to love ourselves… and to wear white tank-tops with acid-wash jeans in an effort to attract the attention of crushes.  She was an amazing singer but what I most appreciate about Whitney is the fact that she looked hot using dance moves white girls could perfect. The “Jump and Clap” and “The Stop.. Now Walk The Other Way” were game changers that gave those of us without rhythm a little something to show off at the high school dances.

In honor of the Diva of all Divas, a living room dance party just for you!

Rest in peace, Whitney Houston… you were truly the greatest!!!

And that, my friends, is how it’s done!

Girl eating cookiesAfter mindlessly grazing through Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday I decided to pull up the old resolutions to re-energize my 2012 commitment to health and fitness and to once again remind myself that women without work or kids should probably have slammin’ bodies. Oh how the delight meter soared (insert snark) when this little empowerment exercise reminded me of the four Colorado triathlons I’ve sworn to complete by the end of this summer…

Three thoughts came to mind:

1. Who forgets a resolution like that?

2. What was I thinking, and why the number four?

3. Where’s all the spunk and energy I had when writing these resolutions? “Under the 18″ of snow you were bragging about on Monday” says the bag of chips sitting in my lap. “Thanks for the reminder bag of chips” says Spice… as you can see, the snow really does a number on my enthusiasm for exercise.
