Boulder and the Beautiful

This made me chuckle.
I like jumpsuits, but I do not like this ad. Not one bit.

The custodian at my office today informed me that I “must be pregnant with twins because I am so huge and still have SO LONG to go on my pregnancy.”
Last I checked, I was six months along, which is almost-there-you-can-do-it (at least that’s my mantra), and only pregnant with one normal-sized girl, and I’m also the normal size for a 5-foot-tall woman with no torso whatsoever.
Still, I must be pregnant with twins!

This delightful experience has me wondering: What exactly is the proper response to statements like that? Do I have free reign to just punch people in the face? Or do I just curl up and cry? I know I’m not supposed to start dieting, and I cannot possibly work out any more or eat any healthier without reverting to only plain spinach. Or maybe I should go back to my doctor and demand she checks my uterus for extra humans because I must be pregnant with twins at this massive size!

Another option: Buy this necklace from www.etsy.com/shop/mamaslittlebabies. It’s so creepy that it’ll scare anyone away; I won’t have to worry about unsolicited advice or commentary ever again!
The scariest thing about this necklace: It is sold out.
So it must work.

My obsession with record paraphernalia is spinning out of control.
But admit it, this pillow is sweet. Albeit sold out.

Newspapers get a lot of press releases. A LOT. The number seems to increase 399999 percent this time of year.

Many press releases contain cliche’s. MANY. OK, most.
The most common every winter is the “‘Tis the Season” press release.
Here, I will keep a list of what i’ ’tis the season for, according to flaks and officials: If you ask me, it sure seems to be the season for unoriginal press releases.

* ‘Tis the season for college applications.

(To be continued until Dec. 25.)

I’ve got eyes in the back of my head…. wolf eyes….
