Meet Zooey and Joe. (You’ve seem them around before, I’m sure?)
Zooey and Joe are BFF—they’ve worked together, they’ve played together, they’ve recorded adorable YouTube sensations together.
As much as they look adorable together, and as much as the world might hope that they’re a couple,…
1. Stop being so subtle.
2. Stop texting your ex.
3. Stop leading on that guy who is clearly in love with you.
4. Stop turning down dates with guys you’re “just not that attracted to.”
5. Stop ignoring your friends’ opinions on your dating life.
FIB #1: “I’m slim and petite” or “tall and well-built.”
Translation: “I was slim and petite or tall and well-built 15 years ago. I haven’t accepted the fact that I’m no longer a skinny, sexy young thing, and I know that potential dates won’t accept it either, so I take liberties with my self-description and hope you won’t notice the additional 20+ lbs. of jelly I’ve accumulated since the days when my profile photos were taken.”
I have to admit, I’m becoming SLIGHTLY obsessed with it. So follow me at pinterest.com/isureamheather!

Generally speaking, I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. I believe that you’re just basically setting yourself up for failure. HOWEVER, I DO think that the New Year is the perfect time to sit back, take a look at things, and set some goals for yourself.
So I did that. I sat back and looked. And realized that I didn’t really like what I was sitting on (that being my ass and rather heftier haunches than I remember), THUS I decided to really challenge myself and get into shape this year.
Here’s the thing. I love working out. I’m usually pretty good at it, but for the past 8 weeks or so (blame it on the holidays and its abundance of baked things, I suppose), I just… haven’t done it. At all. And I’ve also been eating like complete shit (I’m talking regularly picking up candy bars or eating tacos more than a few times a week type of shit). And it’s taken its toll. I just feel unhealthy. And my jeans are fitting substantially tighter than they used to.
Because I don’t necessarily want to just strive for an “ideal” weight or size (I just want to look good and feel good about myself), I’ve decided to undertake a pretty substantial challenge…
I’M GOING TO RUN THE NYC MARATHON THIS YEAR!
Of course, I won’t know if I’m officially in the race until April, but in the shape I’m currently in, I need to start training now to get up to the 15 miles per week minimum of running in order to start the official training. But I HAVE signed up for the lottery, so the first step is already under way.
So here I am. Announcing it loud and clear so that I have no CHOICE but the follow through or face the wrath of you lovely Tumblr-ers.
So wish me luck! I’ll keep you posted. Yay… fitness!

GPOY. Francois and me duckfacing it on UP for the holidays. We’re obviously perfect for each other.
Happy New Year fellow Tumblr-ers! Hope you’ve already started off 2012 off right! I certainly have so far (and yes, I do realize it’s only the 2nd, so give me a break).
One of my goals this year is to get back in to blogging - I really do miss it - and I have to find some way to get it done considering I can’t just sit here and bitch about OKCupid anymore. Is it weird that I miss it?
So stay tuned… more is coming your way soon!
