Why you should read your mans Maxim

2 Reasons why every gal should read her man’s Maxim.

Get Fit – Have you seen the woman they feature in Maxim? If that doesn’t make you want to take the fast lane to the gym, I’m not sure what will. Even just opening some of the photos while I’m treadmill running, I feel the urge to want to go faster and further

Be in the know – sometimes my husband tries to do sweet things that just doesn’t normally seem like him. I’ve been a little suspicious about why he’s doing these things (perhaps guilt?) but really, the Maxim told him to do them. After reading last month’s issue, I feel like I know my husband better. I know why we had the conversations we did and why he did some of the things he did. AND because he marked some of the pages, I also know what is on his holiday (birthday, Christmas, random gifts of kindness) wish lists.

Now go get your reading on....

Jon Bon Jovi

The last two nights I was stuck at work (and I mean that in a good way) for 12+ hours. The positive side of this? Jon Bon Jovi was involved.

I had never been to a Jovi concert and I never fully understood the screaming and crying women or how he could come to the same city multiple times in a year and sell out venues with seating capacities of over 17,000. After a Tuesday and Wednesday night performance, all I can say is I get it.

PS I've been living on a prayer all week, maybe it's time for some bad medicine? What evs, it's my life anyway. Oh and while I'm on a roll, blogger friends, I'll be there for you....

negative one for hubs

After the husband had my car for the weekend, I noticed something wrong.

And now I have something on my husband.

So 3 years ago

I walked into Forever 21 the other day and spotted something I loved. In fact, so much, I already owned it. I think I purchased it about 3 years ago (if my Facebook dates are correct).

On the rack:

On me in 2008:

and in 2009:

shout out to girlfriend & sorority sister blogger friend on your left and another on your right. Love you girlies!

So now the questions is, did they love the dress so much they brought it back? Or was it rejected by everyone (except for me), so they threw it in storage and after the rough economy they decided to pull it out and try to sell it again?

I mean it's identical down to the stule number and all. However, I can't confirm prices. Thoughts?

Me and a bull at the home of the Bulls?

Me and a bull at the home of the Chicago Bulls? Classic right?

things to point out

• I'm freezing (pardon if I don't look myself)
• People travel all over the world 365 days a year to take photos next to this MJ Statue (that I walk by at least 2 times a day)
• The "United Center" sign is visible in this photo (if the statue doesn't mark location, this does)
• this is a real (not a fake) bull
• he, the Bull, is really is sporting Super Man gear
• this is where I work and this is what I do

I hope you think this is as cool as I do.

Bon Jovi at the UC

Oh look, Bon Jovi's stuff arrived to the UC and it's sitting right outside my office.

But wait... who's Skippy?
