It is perfect running weather right now in Houston, cool and chilly in the mornings but still sunny.  Plus the streets are really flat.  Like as flat as my jokes.

Is your only holiday wish to see a celebrity?  Here’s a Celeb Stalking Tip: Fly out of LAX.  Or just hang out at LAX.

On Friday, we were on the same flight to Houston as Kanye West’s girlfriend Amber Rose and stood right beside her at the baggage claim.

How did we know it was her?  Well, besides the skycap/luggage handler telling me it was, she has a very “unique” look= blonde shaved head. Plus she has a huge rose tattoo up her arm. 

Here’s a Style Tip: Don’t ever wear children’s elastic waist jean shorts.  Or those glasses. ever.

She had sunglasses on.  in the airport.  at 8pm.  And also a cigarette behind her ear.  If that doesn’t say “I’m a rapper’s girlfriend, or at the very least, someone important”, I don’t know what does.

She was wearing very tight skinny-legged jeans, high heeled Timberland-like boots, and a grey tank top that was so loose in the arm holes that more bra was showing than at a Victoria’s Secret store.  She also had 5 or 6 huge suitcases but no Kanye.

Here’s a Healthy Holiday Tip: Get your exercise in early in the day before the holiday busyness starts.  Maybe get up a little early or block off some morning time for yourself before the presents start calling to be wrapped, the fudge starts calling to be eaten, and the Lifetime channel calls with all its sappy Christmas movies.

Set the precedent for the upcoming year (yes, I did just use a big word like that and no, I didn’t even need a dictionary).  If you can take care of yourself during the holidays, you can do it anytime of the year.  Make your health a priority!

Something is better than nothing; you might not have the time or energy to run 10 miles in the am, but a 20 min brisk walk is much better than doing the ‘ol Christmas tradition game of “Stuff my face with gingerbread men oreos”.  What, only me?

In a spring winter cleaning effort and to get the site ready for the new makeover, I’ve gone through and freed up some memory, ie, I deleted dumb stuff.  So if you’re looking for a missing link or post and can’t find it, you have MOI to thank.

And if you’re frustrated because you can’t find the page you’re looking for, here’s a Super Professional Computer Tip: A great way to deal with computer issues is to just slam the laptop screen shut and self-righteously mutter loudly, “Uggh! I hate technology!  Life would be soo much better without it!”  I find this works especially well on viruses, spyware and wordpress issues.

That’s pretty much my twin, minus the cig. 

And because it’s Christmas, here’s another free Style Tip: Don’t ever match your house slippers to your bikini.  Just don’t.
