Happy Holidays from Charlotte and the Gym Buddies! When the great (and Jewish) MizFit took it upon herself to organize a Christmas Eve FitBlogger Talent Show I was overcome with joy. Everyone has a special talent, right? And mine is wearing crazy socks. On a really good day I manage to match the crazy socks …
If you have time to conquer rogue planets from your swimming pool, you definitely have time to fit in a quick workout! “I don’t have time to exercise.” Probably the most oft used excuse of all time when people are explaining their lack of working out. And I believe them! Sort of. While it is …

(Dear Dad, you are going to want to stop reading here. Seriously. Actually all men will probably want to skip this one.) Now that Jon and Kate are finally divorced (the 8 went with Kate – I’m guessing the Judge was a Dr. Suess fan), the country can now focus its collective attention on more …

Tetris. Mortal Kombat. All 300 incarnations of Super Mario Brothers. And my personal favorite Bubble Bobble. I grew up playing video games. Even in college, my roommates and I played hours and hours of Simba The Lion King (not kidding) trying to get the wee lion cub out of the hands of the catty hyenas …
Props to Ice-T’s wife for answering that question with confidence! But what up with the shoes, Coco?

Reader Joshua was so amused by this pic, he had to add on his own ideas: “”Burger King – Have it Your Way” It just lends itself to the product. And then, sad as it is, my mind starts racing to other brand names that could be used in this manner. “Doral – Taste Me, …

One of the things I find most mystifying about this season (besides wondering why nobody ever writes new Christmas songs – I’m a fan of all the big holiday hits but a girl can only hear Jingle Bell Rock so many times, especially if it’s Mariah Carey singing it) is why people want to wait …
Scientists may have had other ideas but I think the Internet was invented for the express purpose of circulating cultural memes. (Incidentally, that’s pronounced “meem” not “me-me” like I’ve been saying for years. You’re welcome; it is my calling in life to be a cautionary tale to others.) This is great when it comes to …
