My Name is Christy, and I'm Addicted to My Laptop

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:28:21 GMT

Okay, perhaps “addicted” is too strong a word since it carries such a strong and scary connotation in our society. Let’s just say that my laptop (and its high speed Internet capabilities) are my lifeline…to my children, husband, extended family, world and local news, work, hobbies, advice, shopping, banking, photos, weather, and the list goes on and on (and literally, on).

The truth of the mat... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Know Anyone With Cancer, Hepatitis, Back Pain, Extreme Fatigue, Monthly Cramps?

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 14:21:42 GMT

For more than a year, I assumed I was suffering from Narcolepsy because I was ridiculously exhausted beyond belief. I could not keep my eyes open during the day, I had zero energy, and truly, it began to make my life unmanageable. It made no sense to me because I eat right, take vitamins, and basically live a healthy lifestyle.

As a 37-year old wife and mother of 2 small children, I knew I had... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

It's All In The Eyes

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 00:14:15 GMT

I must have asked my girlfriend Amber a thousand times which mascara she was using to make her lashes look like a nest of Daddy Long Leg spiders. And a thousand times, she claimed it was Dior Show Mascara in black. I swear by Dior Show too, but my lashes never looked that long.

It wasn't until I caught her pulling into a hip aesthetician's office in town that she finally came clean. As we both... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie DeBartolo

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 21:54:58 GMT

Anyone who's been in love will have their heartstrings pulled in every direction within moments of picking up this quick, easy read. The first (but not the only) book by Tiffanie DeBartolo is the ideal novel to pack into your vacation beach bag.

This is the first time a book has ever reduced me to a blubbering, sobbing mess, as I consider myself to be a closet romantic, yet a stoic on the outs... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Bond No. 9 ~ Westside

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 03:39:04 GMT

Have you ever smelled something so delicious it awakened every sense in your body? I'm not talking Toll House either.

Bond No. 9, a relatively new line of fragrances, intended to be exclusively sold at Saks Fifth Avenue, offers a light, subtly seductive array of notes that would satisfy the hunger of even the pickiest of fragrance connossieurs.

The entire Bond line, each fragrance more uniqu... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Is Your Face Greasier Than Pizza? Finally - A Remedy!

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 18:54:11 GMT

I grew up with skin dryer than a chalkboard, giving new meaning to the word, "ashy." I had heard people say our skin changes every 6-7 years, yet to no avail, mine was still like an old croissant, (even in my early twenties).

After my children were born, the change was slow. So subtle, in fact, that I hadn't even noticed until years later. What I did realize were what I refer to as (in order to... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Don't You Know Who I Think I Am? Self-Proclaimed Health Fanatics

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:50:31 GMT

Tofurky.

That's what my friend Staci says she makes on Thanksgiving, (and from my understanding, this wanna-be-bird is actually a brand name blob of tofu molded into a turkey shape). I'm sorry, but slash my jugular with a machete right now please and pass me a doused in gravy drumstick.

After purposely exhaling my cigarette smoke in her nuts and grain-eating face, I can't help but ask why s... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Dating a Reality Televsion "Star"

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:11:04 GMT

Slightly tall, a bit dark, and almost handsome. That was my first visual assessment of the guy sitting across from me in one of my grad school classes. I had never seen this one before. Was he new? A transfer student?

I listened intently as he softly shared his empathetic view on the sad downfall of humanity in struggling third world countries. I do not recall what he said exactly, but I will n... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Geek Squad City

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:10:31 GMT

Sex Sells. I’ve heard this statement said many times before, and of course I have seen the beer commercials with blondes in bikinis, yet I had never really bought into the “sex sells” concept until last week.

I was standing in the Customer Service line at Best Buy, patiently waiting to exchange one of my daughter’s Play Station 2 video games when, out of boredom, I glanced toward the Geek Squa... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Here's to You, Mrs. Robinson

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:09:33 GMT

"Coo Coo Ca Choo Mrs. Robinson"

I must have been in my early twenties when I first saw Anne Bancroft seduce Dustin Hoffman in the 1967 film The Graduate. I remember the silent smirk on my face that whispered, "Ah-Ha. I get it!" while feeling empowered by the passive-aggressive control she commanded from a guy almost half her age. She was in charge, it was evident, and I liked it. A lot.

I do... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

(Almost) Married to the Mob

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:08:35 GMT

La Cosa Nostra. The Commission. Organized Crime. The Mob. No matter how you say it, it all means the same thing. The Mafia.

Over the past 20 years, the lines have become blurred regarding who is and who is not actually “connected.” Any given weekend night out at a club, you may run into an Italian who saw one too many episodes of The Sopranos, impersonating Tony as he tells you he is, in fact,...

Are you a Professional Flirt?

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 19:15:47 GMT

The last time you were waiting in line at a club freezing your butt off while waiting to see DJ Drop Heavy spin some records, did you nearly go postal after being left in a blast of the martini breath and Chanel #5 combination that trailed 3 or 4 local girls in mini-skirts (or perhaps body paint), too much MAC lip glass, MUCH too much cleavage, and psychedelic colored contacts? If you answered yes... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

The Disgruntled Ex

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 18:14:23 GMT

It was well after 2am when a friend and I dodged three bushes then ran full speed (in stilettos and mini-skirts) through the backyard of the new girlfriend of our friend’s ex-boyfriend. Completely sober, we tried to whisper, “Stay down, stay down!" And then like school girls, we giggled loudly, and did everything in our power not to get caught.

Get caught doing what? We weren’t really doing mu... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Sorry Babe, You're Not the Star of Entourage

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:00:16 GMT

They travel strategically in packs of two to five, no more, no less, busting through the door at a club near you, dressed like rock stars, they rule the dance floor, your bedroom, the world. Or so they think. They have "you know you want me" written all over their faces, and they name-drop local sports stars, business owners, and most likely, your hottest friend. Did you think I was talking about ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
