Winter Weather Advisory

Okay, friends. We're talking about girly things today, since it's snowing outside and Dolvett Quince is nice to look at.

Yeah, that's right. There's a winter weather advisory out this morning. I'm expecting to see 2 to 4 inches of snow when I emerge from my basement lair for lunch.

And don't worry - we're not going to talk about girly girly things. We're just going to talk about shoes and boys and books.


Shoes: Nine West Mary Janes

You will never ever in a million years hear me complain about the fact that I can get from my bed to my desk without being exposed to the elements. It's a cool perk of garage parking. But this also means that I might get caught looking pretty foolish due to inappropriate outfits for the weather. Picture me in these heels, jeans, and a light sweater. Cute? yes. Enough clothes for snowy weather? definitely not.

Boys: Dolvett Quince

You know, the super fine new trainer on The Biggest Loser? I thought I was going to be really upset after Jillian decided to leave TBL, since, well, she's my hero, but the producers did some seriously good picking with Dolvett.

He's beautiful. Just look at that grin? He cheeses like a champ. I actually think we might be soul mates because we both seem to have more teeth in our mouths than other normal human beings.

So. Many. Teeth. But Dolvett has just as many! Or more!

And we wear the same earrings! Although I'm thinking his aren't from Claire's.

So I admittedly have a ninth grade style crush on Dolvett. If I had a locker his face would be all over it. Ideally I would have scrapbook pages decorated with his quotes like, "You motivate me just as much as I motivate you. Step it up!"

Co-workers would probably think it's pretty bizarre if I had a locker-style shrine to Dolvett in my office. But I'm seriously contemplating taking that risk.


Books: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)

Snowy days call for sitting at home after work in sweatpants contemplating whether or not to go to the gym and justifying sitting on your ass for another 3 hours because you are reading a book. 

This book is funny, sincere, unassuming, and refreshing. It also provides a much needed break from the intensity that comes with watching Breaking Bad as if I were drinking from a fire hose. Last weekend I woke up in the middle of the night with bad dreams of twins in raw silk suits walking around my apartment with an axe and now I think every Pontiac Aztek I see in my rearview mirror is Walter White.

Mindy is not scary. And the girliest thing about her book is that the cover is very pink. Men: buy her book on your iPad or stick the book between the pages of ESPN Magazine if you don't want to be seen reading a pink book.

See that wasn't too girly, right? We talked about Breaking Bad! So totally not girly.
