So what if he's a little sloppy, a little mismatched, and even a womanizer, Lenny Kravitz is the tastiest treat going (besides our beloved Owen Wilson). That Behind the Music episode where he is pining away for Miss Bonet just makes my heart melt. I think that I could bear the title of rock star girlfriend...

Alrighty, now I have some fodder on which to base my negative/obsessive opinions about the new cast of the Real World. The other night, I indulged and watched that special where Mike n' Coral from the NY cast were all up in my face dishing about the new clones. Anywho, that new cast certainly seems dismal, oversexed, and way too good-looking. I think this may be it for my Real World days, the time has come to let it go. At this point the show is no more than a spring break special, and instead of all the crying, drunkenness, and ill-thought out soliloquies in a tacky Cancun hotel room, the drama takes place in an Ikea laden loft. I think that I now have the strength to break free...I'll keep you updated on my progress.

I must admit, I love Sex and the City...I love dishing about it with the girls at the office, I love longing for Carrie's collection of Christian Louboutin's, I love it all! However, I think that my character loyalty is changing...rapidly. I used to be all about Carrie...we were in love. But now, she is really starting to piss me off...along with those other two, Samantha and Charolotte. The only one that I can handle is Miranda, she is the only semi-toned downed one in the bunch. All the others are always shrieking about something, talking about doin' it, or generally being pains in the asses. All I have to say is Carrie, you have a guy who calls you Pop Tart...and still you complain. You better shape up or my loyalty may change...for good!

Imagine a futuristic, posh ocean liner with deep blue carpets, haute-design metal headboards, fireplaces, signage, and furniture. Mod leather couches and sleek black Murphy beds compliment shiny silver mesh chairs and stainless half-spherical sinks. In-room Playstation, fine linens and wet bars are guest room favorites. There are no closet doors, only heavy gray curtains. The Hotel Diva is a testament to all that is hip and austere in the brave new world of design. Check out the onyx front desk and the neatly stacked green apples in each breakfast room. The fitness room is compact, but who will have time for exercise while entertaining guests in the ultra-cool penthouse suite?

Gals, we here at Splendora have some lofty goals in mind for the new year...and yes by golly, we are going to stick to those doggone resolutions. Below is a sample of how we are going to divide and conquer...

Here are some of our office goals and strategies:

1) Drink More Water
-We will accomplish this by forming a "Water Club", we shall encourage one another to drink no less than 3 liters of water per day. Then we will have glowing skin and little-to-no bloatation.

2) Eat Healthier Lunches
-We will form yet another club, the "Lunch Bunch". In this club you gain membership by planning healthier lunch options for the office folk. From now on we will dine on salads and turkey sandwiches and only subject ourselves to gluttony 1 day a week. On that glorious day (Fridays) we will feast on cheeseburgers and fries.

3) Floss
-When we are not here making Splendora better for the masses, we will be taking perfect care of our pearly whites. This means that we will floss daily...no matter how tired we are before bed, or how much we are in a rush before work.

4) Volunteer
-We shall make more time to volunteer...enough said.

5) Create More Passion in Our Lives
-We vow to be more spontaneous and creative. For example, when we see that opportunity to fly to Vegas for $76 on a Friday afternoon, we will grab our nearest and dearest, jet set, and have a fabulous, carefree time.

6) Take Up a New Hobby
-Everyone can use a new activity-you meet new friends and will perhaps gain a skill in the process! For example, one of us is taking a cooking class, the other, piano lessons...what a bunch of adventurers we are...hey, at least we're trying.

Well, that's should keep us busy for the time being. But, please do drop us a line to let us know how you are keeping up your end of the bargain...
