Don't send Evite reminders
An important fact about me is that I’m an avid reader of relationship self-help books (and I’m not afraid to admit it or offer suggestions on which of these books I think would benefit your current situation).
One of the key lessons that all of the books has taught is hard to get. And let me tell you - this is not just for romantic relationships.
It applies to Evite too.

Don't ruin Pinterest for me with mashup vernacular
Alright. I get it. I love Pinterest too. Now I have a go to move every time I see something pretty, but not quite interesting enough to inspire actual words.
I just want to stop the following before it happens: Let’s not start making mashup words with Pinterest like we did with Twitter. Nothing is “Pinteresting,” “Pinspirational” or “Pintastic,”...

Park at The Parking Spot
So a bit of practical unsolicited advice, for a change.

"Money comes and goes: spend it like you got it"
In college, a good friend of mine once said “Money comes and goes: spend it like you got it.”
It’s important to note that this friend was not a financial advisor, and that she really only intended it to be applied to the conversation at hand (which was: do we buy a plastic bottle of vodka, or a classy handle of Smirnoff?). I don’t think she realized that I...

Work out in the middle of the day
I’m assuming the whole lottery advice was a bust for you as it was for me. I’m very realistic: anyone who has $300+ million dollars has better things to be doing than reading this blog (like cashing in the money for gold tokens and swimming through it, Scrooge McDuck-style). Wasn’t it a great thrill, though, until the second number was called? For that reason alone,...
