not one in a million

tonight i found out that i am not the only earthling obsessed with Rock for Love!!! there i said it out loud... i like rock of love! i watch it all the time while on the treadmill... and when the marathons are on, i have to literally pry myself away. its tres difficulte.

but thats okay.... b.c if someone as fabulous as Jennifer Weiner can admit that to a crowd, then i can admit it to you. just add rock of love to my guilty pleasures list, right up there with Hogan Knows Best and Paris Hilton's book ;)

and how do i know that Jennifer loves the show too... well we are bff and chat everyday of course!

LOL okay, sadly im kidding... but i bet we would have a great time on a coffee date. or a shopping spree... or a day hanging out with Mr.TiVo!
seriously though, I met the fabulous Jennifer at a book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Lincoln Center tonight. And let me just say, she is just as witty and charming in person as she is in her books.

More on that tomorrow though, b.c i have to upload the photo of us...

OH YEAH i got a photo with her, and yes im a wee bit gitty about it :)

check back tomorrow for the full details! nite

PS if anyone doesn't know who Jennifer Weiner is.... well #1 shame on you and #2 click here
you'll be thankful you did :)

Such a Pretty Fat...

Okay, so Jen Lancaster is one of the funniest authors ever. She is the author of Bitter is the New Black and Bright Lights Big Ass both of which are witty memoirs about the snarky life of a sorority girl living in the ghetto!

I was turned onto Jen's writings when Hello Darling gushed on & on about her, and then literally handed me the book and said, "read it." I started out reading Bitter, and honestly hated it. i thought jen was just too much. i tried so hard & kept reading simply b.c Darling wanted me to. But then i read the line, "a mani-pedi is a sorority girl's version of a threesome".... and she had me!

I was hooked! I highly recommend adding her to your blogroll, like now!

Anyways... Jen's new book Such a Pretty Fat (coming out soon) where Jen is going to lose 50lbs by any means necessary. As a person who has been yo yo dieting for 14 years, i can not wait to read it!

Here is a video of her with her trainer.... Let me just say i can relate! Trainer comes out with some really random equipment, and usually i look at her, panting, and say "WHAT IS THAT?"
After she stops laughing, she demonstrates, i do 3 sets, and then i get it. Some equipment is way better than others* but the variety keeps things really interesting & keeps me from getting board so all in all it works!

anyways, the video below, and especially the ending, reminds me so much of my training sessions. the very end... has so happened to me. there have been multiple times that i have to restart b.c i'm laughing so hard.... and then there was the time that i accused Trainer of "breaking my abs"... but thats a whole other story!

i heart you Trainer :)

*the giant rubber band that is only like 1 ft long but i had to stretch it the length of my body.... the whole time i was waiting for it to snap and hit me in the head... even though Trainer kept saying it wouldn't, i was having visions. she was right! i guess i'm not as strong as i think ;)
