No Selfies Allowed

I go gaga over the SNL photos by Mary Ellen Matthews.

Sexy, dopey, suave, playful, nonchalant, fierce, edgy...all at once.

Say cheese!

I May Be Left-Handed...

but I'm always right!

It's Left Handers' Day!

So hug your favorite southpaw. We go through a lot. Or high five. With your LEFT hand, of course!

Make 'em laugh!

Do you like to laugh?

If you've ever ventured into Times Square for more than just a picture of the M&M Store, you have probably been stopped mid-powerwalk by someone with a clipboard asking you the above question, in hopes of suckering you into seeing a comedy show that evening.

I usually respond with a quick "NO", not stopping my stride.

But, it's true - I do, I do like to laugh. How did they know?

Being a commuter on public transportation, I especially like to laugh as a distraction during my ride to and from work. Hence my request on Facebook a few weeks back for humorous reads - and boy, did you Facebook friends deliver.

It turns out Facebook is healthy and good for something!

I will forewarn you that some of these books are so funny, that you may embarrass yourself guffawing in close-quarters public transport. In fact, I had to save Bossypants for before bed and move on to Notes from the Underground when in public. No laughing there.

Since we are on the subject of funny words, I must say that I've been delighted by Instyle Magazine's newish feature, Last Laugh, penned by actress & funny lady, Megan Mullally.
I'm posting all 8 published columns. They are that funny, it will be worth the scroll down.

I bet you laughed. And I bet you liked it.

Don't Need

Things I need, but don't need...want, but sorta don't want.

Gourmet krispie treats (it's on my way to work...).

Treat House - NYC

I heart 181 St tee - cuz I do!

Clarisonic in Lucy...just because it is called Lucy. I have a problem.

Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Skin Cleansing System - Lucy

A Rainbow Brite phone case.

Rainbow Brite iPhone case - Red Bubble

A dog stroller! OK, not really.

P.S. Shh! No one can let B see this.

Rainbow AND Heart gafas del sol:

Melting Hearts Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

I do not need these items.
I do not need these items.

It's not working.

Up on the Roof

I'm thinking of starting a Likes of Lucy - New York Style...places I've explored, gotten to know, and feel fondly about...all in the big bad apple.

This is one of them.

Anyone know where this mystery location is?

Here is a clue:

This would SO be the kind of model I would be.

I mean, even models get snoozy.

Good Eggs

After a week full of frustrations and aches, I decided to start this new week off by focusing on some of the good acts people do that make life that much sweeter.

The FedEx carrier who decided to try and "hide" my package in case a thief would strike.

"Nobody here but us door mats..."

The man at a busy coffee shop who was not a table-hog.

Notepad reads: "You can totally sit here if you'd like!"

The friend who gets you out of town and around a bonfire.

"Pass the s'mores fixins, please!"

The train conductor who gives you a wave after a safe and on time journey home.

Next stop - Kindnesstown.

The co-worker who treats you to a day at the club (and a margarita):

Another day at the office...

Here's to the good eggs in the carton.

Run, Mick, Run!

It's been a while since I posted a 1st of the Month Cute Animal video.

Well folks, it doesn't get any cuter (or inspirational) than this...get your tissues.

Go, Mick!
