Having A Strategy Is So Important. Where's Waldo Girl and Photo Of White Rock Lake

Hi there
My mom always has a strategy when she goes to the grocery store. She knows what she wants. If we go together, most of the time she is at the checkout when I am not.
I have to search for her frantically, after having grabbed a last-minute item.

(I have noticed this about myself, below.)
While this is not always possible: It's important to have a strategy. While there definitely needs to be some work done on my part, I usually have a strategy. Sometimes I am super anal about trying to pick the person in a business or place--just by eyeing them-- that will help me the most. (Being able to do your job is not undervalued!!) I know that can be pretty selfish. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails miserably.
I have a strategy at McDonald's and at target.

THE END.

Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year!!!!

The picture was taken at the Dallas Marathon in 2012.
This girl's name is Alexandria. She said she likes Waldo a little bit. And she was very nice about letting me take her photo!

A cool picture. Taken recently at White Rock Lake. I saved it for a long time. I didn't know what to do with it.

A Brazilian Butt Lift Will Make You More "Attractive And Sensuous"

Hello all,
I was reading a magazine that came in the mail, when I read about the Brazilian Butt Lift. News to me!

The Brazilian Butt Lift is supposed to "fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky."
The magazine also stated, "the resulting effect is that the woman appears more attractive and sensuous."
Huh?
I feel sorry for any woman who feels she needs to fill the upper quadrant of her buttocks in order to be more "attractive and sensuous."

I am sure that the Brazilian Butt Lift will NOT, in fact, turn you into a Brazilian Hottie.

The Brazilian Butt Lift is performed by Dr. Otto Huertas in Dallas.
If you are, in fact, interested, call his sexy phone at 972-279-9000.

Thank you for reading my tiny little blog.
And have a great 2013.
I can't get out of saying: merry christmas.

The Traffic Outside Is Frightful, But Inside It's So Delightful, And Nightcap News: Finally, Something My Generation Can Stomach

No matter where I go, in Dallas,
the traffic is constantly:
sprawling, sniping, gnawing at me. Sometimes it is chiding me.
I tell myself to be more aggressive when there is heavy traffic. Then when I have jumped in front of someone or gunned the engine, I am glad. I tell myself, Good Job!
It is as if I'm saying, "Good Job. You were a real jerk out there!"

I watched the Nightcap News on the CW 33. The show calls itself "a different kind of news."
The show gets a thumbs up. Of course it is not hard-core news.
It contains small segments such as "WTF" and "You Really Need To Know..." which, sadly!, are perfect for my impatient, incessantly demanding generation.
If you want in-depth analysis or someone similar to Peter Jennings, go somewhere else. But if you want to laugh (most of the hosts are actually funny, without being too annoying), go to the nightcap news.

D Magazine recently posted a negative review of the Nightcap news on their blog, Front Burner.

Maybe reporter Jason Heid is mad because nobody reads D Magazine?

The End.

It's Okay To Eat Cheetos In The Car, And A Picture Of The Dallas Marathon

Hello all,

Glamour magazine used to have a segment called, "It's okay to..."
The magazine would validate women for various things.
I do not know if they still have it.
However, I checked recently, and it was not there.

So, in honor of Glamour, here is my own list of "It's okay to..."
It's okay...

To not super size your meal, or choose the larger size, at any fast food place.

To not send Christmas cards.
(However, it is a nice touch. I love Christmas cards, and am not decrying them).

To send a Merry Christmas text, instead of a Christmas card. But only if you know the person pretty well, and you know that they will not be offended at your two-second text.

To not wear makeup.

To do what you want, on new year's eve.

To be gravely annoyed at any Christmas music, in any store.

To eat Cheetos in the car. While driving.

Fashion note: I have seen a lot of boots lately.
Boots are great, except not when everyone wears them at once. I feel strongly about this.

New and SERIOUS topic:
I do not know what can be said about the school shootings in Connecticut.
The link will take you to a story from the Hartford Courant. It talks about some of the victims.

I do think that two things are important: if you are concerned about this event, you should find out as much as you can about it on your own. It's better to be informed and educated, than not to be so. There has been a flurry of reporting, and some reporters and news shows seem to have gotten off track.
My suggestion regarding this matter is: do your best to find out what you want to know, on your own.

And, despite the fact that so many people--including children--lost their lives, everyone involved, including parents and close relatives of the children, needs to move on with their lives as quickly as possible. That is how they will best honor the victims.

Stay Christmas-y,
Alice

Bright and early

"The Cream Shirt Is A Great Choice, And Thank Goodness You Bought A Paleta De Tamarindo!"

Hello all,


I know this is not a very good picture. It is the best I could do.

The girl in the picture was speaking loudly on her speakerphone. The incident took place in an airport lounge, where I was, recently.
Yes, I understand if you need to talk on the phone, but not on speakerphone in a public place. She was asked to turn it down, and she did so, but did not say anything.
Since she was discussing her clothing choices, and a popsicle that she bought for someone (a paleta), I wanted to turn around and say: "I think the cream shirt is a great choice, and thank goodness you bought a paleta de tamarindo."
Just to try and shut her up.

A picture I took recently in Dallas. Considering I took it from my car, I'm surprised it turned out so well.

Fancy a ride?

The End.

stay devoted,
Alice
