Hers and His Holiday Greeting Video

Dear Loyal Fans,

While it may seem like this blog has merely become a bulletin for wishing happy holidays we want to assure you all that with the new year will come a refocusing on writing for all you fine people. As you will soon find out there have been many exciting things happening for us and many more things coming up in the next week, so I hope you will understand why December has been sparse on content. So Happy Holidays to all and we'll see you in 2010, goodness knows you will be seeing A LOT of us!

(For people reading this on facebook please follow the link to the blog so that you may view the lovely video greeting above)

Love,

Hers and His

Dollah Dollah Bill Yo!

Some of you may know I have been dancing around the prospects of a few potential jobs since returning to the city after Thanksgiving. With the reality of something to do everyday just a mere phone call away, I want to reflect on how this can positively impact my life. Sure, I won't be able to stay in my jammies till 4 or be up to date on the latest wedding dress shows, but I guess being a contributing member of society is nice too.

Things I will enjoy doing once I am gainfully employed:

-Not squeezing a box of wine into my wine fridge, actually getting it by the bottle.

-Paying someone to cut my bangs instead of the scary "a little more on this side, a little more on that side, OMG too much!"

-Buying a pair of shoes instead of super gluing the heel back onto my broken pair. Who am I kidding? "in addition to," not "instead of."

-Eating something other than pasta and ramen... What? Those are the same thing??? Crap.

-Not watching Hoda and Kathy Lee. Okay, I'm gonna miss Hoda a little.

-Three words: No More Roommates.

-Throw out my ripped pantyhose instead of just adjusting what I wear to not show the runs.

-Ooooh! Metro Card! No more 40 minute walks to go see my friend for lunch.

And lastly....

-Enjoying coming home to a home cooked meal the way Zane has been all this time! :)

Compass Companion Conundrum

A boy and his dog... ahh a lovely sweet image of true companions, buddies, pals, if you will.

A grown man and his GPS... an odd entanglement of penis envy, get out of the car now.

I have been thinking of discussing this modern day romance of technology for quite some time, but it was only this past weekend that I was propelled into full blown need to publicly discuss this epidemic.

Men. You will always be superior to your GPS unit. Give it a rest.

Here are 3 examples of different bonds men I know have:

Mystery Man #1 Questioning

Mystery Man #2 Defiant

Mystery Man #3 Loyal

Traveling with #1 is a lose-lose situation. Constant wondering whether the alternative route would have yielded better results. Blaming whomever recommended to just go with the original route. Asking rhetorical questions of the little device. Even harassing its speaker for being just a bit too pushy.

Now, you want an adventure, get in the car with #2. Why he purchased a GPS is beyond me since he clearly knows the best route to get everywhere already. You know when you have to silence your GPS because it loses its voice after chastising "Recalculating" too many times, you really don't need one. This type of man enjoys showing his dominance over this little advice that doesn't know sh** about where he wants to go or who he is as a man.

I find #3 endearing. Thank God the GPS was invented, otherwise he would still be in his driveway figuring out how to read a map. He turns all power over to his electronic compass and would follow it into a lake if it asked that of him. Whether it be down the street to the supermarket or cross state lines to a wedding, that good ol' GPS has earned a spot in the Christmas card photo as the best addition to the family this year.

No matter which man yours is, you probably have your own anecdote of some car trip gone wrong or some lane change missed then cursed to high heaven. If only men could accept that they aren't asking for directions by purchasing a GPS unit, they are just asking for a hand. The world might navigate a little more smoothly.
