Confessions of a Loveaholic...

T hey know what they want, know they deserve it, and are not afraid to put in the time and work necessary to get it. THEY DON’T SEND WORK EMAILS IN ALL CAPS. They know it just makes people mad and gives everyone reading it a massive headache. They also don't over-use abbreviations like OMG, LOL, or WTF because they don't want to sound like hyper tween. They always dress appropriately for work, which means no flip-flops, tube tops, or body glitter (unless, of course, they are successful at a job that calls for such a wardrobe). They stick to a budget and actually live within their means — that means not shopping like Carrie Bradshaw if you have the salary of a real-life journalist. Instead of wasting hours every week engaging in nasty office gossip, they spend that time actually doing their job. They ask for what they want. If it’s time for a raise, a promotion, or an assistant, they are not afraid to say what they need in a respectful, professional way. They don’t say th...

Clarity is pointless & therefore deserves our grudges. We’ve earned it.” – CB “Saying ‘thank you’ creates love.” – Daphne Rose Kingma…”so does sayin...

  1. People who say “can i borrow a kleenex?”  Please keep it – I’m not going to want it back after you snot in it.  That goes for a piece of gum, too. 2. People who put leashes on their kids – if you’re going to put a leash on them, could at least complete the dog transformation and give them a muzzle too? 3. People who claim to be devout Christians – and then motherf*%k you up and down. 4. People who feel bad for Tiger Woods. 5. People who “the grass isn’t always greener…” – it may not be greener, but at least your annoying ass isn’t on the other side. 6. Stupid People.  I really just hate stupid people. 7. Born-again virgins.  You lost your cherry – you can’t grow it back – so if you’ve done the deed (and got knocked up, Bristol Palin) – why become a born-again virgin? 8.
