latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....

America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...

The Art of Bridal War Sun Tzu says: Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. The Wannabe Bride says: Engage him in conversations about marriage when he least expects it. Boyfriend: Honey? Can you get me some toilet paper? You: Sure, if you give me a ring. Sun Tzu says: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not...

Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

Viagra Penguin I LOVE Penguins. Penguins were my sorority mascot. Since graduation, 6 years ago, I haven't participated in any sorority stuff. But I still love penguins. They're so cute and adorable. How could you not love them? Anyone who knows me, knows my fascination with everything penguin. There is at lease 1 penguin in every room of our...

Weight Watchers has declared war on my drinking habits.

Not literally but it feels that way.

I’ve decided to ignite my weight loss efforts once again. (More like for the fifth time.) It’s all going well so far. I’ve already developed the minor cult-like obsession needed for losing weight. And in two weeks I’ve managed to lose 6 pounds.

Then out of the blue Weight Watchers changes its points system. I usually fear change, but welcomed the new system. I had the same excitement I felt the first time I joined and lost over 40 pounds.

The new plan devilishly tricks you into eating your fruits and veggies. The bastards! But more importantly the amount of points for alcohol more than doubled! Now I have to strategize to have a drink, whereas before it wasn’t a problem. I had a drink whenever I felt like it. This is probably how I got to be the size I am in the first place.

So, tomorrow I plan on eating lots of fruits and veggies and save up plenty of points for cocktails.

Damn you Weight Watchers!
