The Bachelor addiction, Pt II: What else is new?

You can not tell me you were surprised last night.    The bitchy girl gets the guy.  I mean, did we really have to sit through, what, like 8 weeks of this torture to know, that in the end, nice girls finish last?  The rules?  The RULES?  Here are my rules to get your man:

10) Get a boob job.  Pay for it with your ex-husband’s money.  That you took from your joint savings account.
9) Do not, I repeat, do not get along with any women.  Not ever.  EVER.  Did I say EVER?
8) If you …

Why I want to work at Twitter

A great environment
1) It’s very open

2) has tones of windows

3 and beyond) workspaces, whiteboards-a-plenty, and just the right amount of meeting space. We provide the best equipment money can buy, offer free breakfast and lunch, and a fully-stocked kitchen where we compost and recycle.
I must, must, MUST get a job there.  I can’t compost in Manhattan and I’ve been looking for a reason to move.

(yeah, yeah, I know, Spark People and all that, but whatever) and I notice that right next to me is this girl with a ginormous plate of fries and she is NOT eating them. And I’m all, “so impressed that you are not eating your …

Easy ways to lose weight…until you read the fine print

So, I thought I’d repost this ’cause actually it sounds kinda easy, but then again…

1. Fidget
James Levine, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, has spent a decade studying the role that everyday movement,  His discovery: People who tap their feet, prefer standing to sitting, and generally move around a lot burn up to 350 more calories a day than those who sit still. That adds up to nearly 37 pounds a year!  Lara’s Note:  might work, unless you work in cube city and then be prepared to be kicked under the table and out the door. 

2. Keep …

Daddy’s Birthday

Today would have been my dad’s birthday if he hadn’t passed away in June 2003.  I found this poem I wrote days after his death, and even now, 6 years later– the emotions and pain, though faded, are still under neath the surface.  Who ever said time heals all really meant time hides all.  So, here is this ode, to my very special dad:

Sometimes I think about you and I can’t cry at all,
but it feels so much better when I can.
I look out at the city and see the lights blinking,
and thing about all you are missing.
But wonder if …
