Wine On!

Introspection does not come easy to some.

Since ancient times, women (especially) turn to vino while searching for deep thoughts.

Alternative Uses for your $350, 15 Pound Anti-Anxiety Blanket

Anti-Anxiety blankets for adults are all the rage.

They come in varying weights – heavy and heavier.

They are advertised as being the solution to all of your problems with insomnia, anxiety, depression, Asperger’s, chronic back pain, red velvet cupcake cravings, extreme couponing, and the bovine blues.

Eureka!

Alternative Uses for your $350, 15 Pound Anti-Anxiety Blanket

2. Great for muscle toning. Pump like barbells. It’s never too early to fend off osteopenia, pop a neck vein, or jerk yourself a hiatal hernia.

Forget the sappy lace cards, the lazy texts, the half-baked brunches, and the lame flowers!

Classic Judith Viorst children’s book

Two Months of Bad Days

According to a recent study (don’t you hate recent studies?)

The average American has two months of ‘bad days’ every year.
