When you go to meet a man, or you go to meet someone, always walk in thinking “I hope I like them,” never walk in saying “I hope they like me.”

I love this! Especially after seeing those mean commercials from other cell phone companies making fun of her. You go girl!

My favorite part of the night, though, has to be the stage appearance of Angelina Jolie’s leg. How… odd. And when I found someone’s photoshopped version of brangelina’s red carpet photo on tumblr, I just had to laugh my face off. And then share it with you.

More Oscar-themed bits & pieces:
Who else loved Jim Rash’s impersonation of Angelina? When we saw that, we lost it.

Happy new year!

School’s out, and I’m home for the holidays! Time to relax, catch up on my reading, and try not to stuff my face with all the Christmas goodies in this house. But really, who am I kidding. Anyways, I may not have had the time to post lately, but I have a large collection of links saved up to share with you! Enjoy these, and enjoy your holidays! xo

I’ve always been a fan of monochromatic looks, but this white on white is stunning.

8 adorable hair tutorials, and some elegant chignons.

Cynthia Crowley has the most adorable bandaids! I want the sequin ones.

When I (eventually) get an iPhone, this is the case I want.

Cute cute cute wedding. And she wore her late mother’s wedding dress!

This group of exterior inspiration includes some gorgeous houses.

In the wall art department:
Five Rules of the Gallery Wall- good to know.
I’d love to hang this print in my apartment.
Her art is on my wall-wishlist.
Love this print and idea. Makes me more determined to travel and do this with my own photos!

In the holiday department:
Zooey Deschanel’s 10 Tips and Tricks for a Winter Body.
Tons and tons of delicious cookie recipes!
I’d love to have any of these gift ideas for ladies. Not to mention this awesome bag.

Of course I have the reservation that you booked six years ago even though you don’t have the confirmation number and you think it was made under a name that starts with ‘s’.

It is not a problem for me to give you seven connecting, non-smoking, poolside suites with two king beds in each, four rollaways, three cribs, and yes, I can install a wet bar. I know it is my fault that we do not have a helicopter landing pad.

I am a front desk agent. I am expected to speak all languages fluently. It is obvious to me that when you booked your reservation for Friday on the weekend we’re sold out that you really meant Saturday.

My company has entrusted me with all financial information and decisions ans yes, I am lying to you when I say we have no more rooms available. It is not a problem for me to quickly construct several more guest rooms. THIS time I will not forget the helicopter landing pad and it IS my fault that everyone wanted to stay here. I should have known you were coming in, even though you had no reservation.

I am a front desk agent. I am quite capable of checking three people in, two people out, taking five reservations, answering fifteen incoming calls, delivering six bath towels to room 625, plunging the toilet in room 101 and restocking the supply of pool towels, all at the same time. Yes, I will be glad to call the van driver and tell him to drive over all the cars stuck in traffic because you’ve been waiting at the airport for fifteen minutes and you’ve got jet lag.

I am a front desk agent, a telephone operator, a bellhop, houseman, guest service representative, housekeeper, sales coordinator, information specialist, entertainment critic, restaurateur, stock broker, referee, janitor, computer technician, plumber, ice-breaker, postman, babysitter, dispatcher, laundry cleaner, lifeguard, electrician, ambassador, personal fitness trainer, fax expert, human jukebox, domestic abuse counselor, and verbal punching bag. Yes, I know room 112 is not answering their phone. Of course I have their travel itinerary so I know exactly where they went when they left here nine hours ago and what their cell phone number is.

I always know where to find the best vegetarian-kosher-mongolian-barbeque restaurants. I know exactly what to see and do in this city in fifteen minutes without spending any money and without getting caught in traffic. I take personal blame for airline food, traffic jams, rental car flat tires and the nation’s economy.

I realize that you meant to book your reservation here. People often confuse us with the Galaxy Delight Motel, Antarctica. Of course I can ‘fit you in’ and yes, you may have the special $1.00 rate because you are affiliated with the Hoboken Accounting and Bagel Club.

I am expected to smile, empathize, sympathize, console, condole, upsell, downsell (and know when to do which), perform, sing, dance, fix the printer, and tell your friends that you’re here. I know exactly where 613 Possum Trot Lane is in the Way Out There subdivision that they just built last week, After all, I am a front desk agent.
