Thanksgiving has hit and we’ve all gone CRAZY. Individuals devoured upon pounds of turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie per individual were devoured last week in one of America’s most traditional holidays. That great American weight scale climbed in the numbers last week as we celebrators became extravagant patrons of the culinary arts.

PJs in public?

Most days, with the exception of the occasional fat day or the more frequent oh-my-God-I-have-nothing-to-wear day, I look forward to shedding my pajamas and getting ready to face the world looking my best (or at least looking decent).
