Extra Extra: The Word of the Day is Muffin Top

  • My husband learned a new word today! When Steve put on some board shorts that happened to be a bit too small, I made the comment, "You've definitely got some Muffin Top." "What's that?" he asked. I then proceeded to show him this. I felt proud to have educated my extremely literate husband on such a valuable vocabulary term. He then went for a jog.
  • Last chance to enter the Great Coloring Book Giveaway! All it takes is writing about your dream vacation in a comment by 12pm PST tonight. Hurry...what are you waiting for? Check back tomorrow for the winner!
  • Have you visited Tastespotting yet? It's like Disneyland for foodies in Internetville. Beautiful photos and links to mouth-watering recipes on all sorts of great food blogs. You can find a few of my recipes there - just go here, or type "Larissa" in the search bar.
  • It is a whopping NINETY-EIGHT degrees in Los Angeles today. Which makes our sauna of a house oh, about two-hundred billion degrees inside. We would probably be making pina coladas right now, but that wouldn't really help the Muffin Top problem now, would it?

  6. I'm so winning the contest. Watch, you'll see! ;) heehee!

    Glad you could teach your man some new vocab - I love teaching guys random girly phrases that they'd never know otherwise! Like random makeup products, for example. haha

  8. You know, I think muffin tops can be easily solved not by losing weight but by wearing pants that fit. :o)

  9. Too funny that he'd never heard that term! (But I bet 98% of U.S. women do!) :)

  12. Your husband owes you for teaching him that. But I clicked on the link and have to say- I think I would go lay down in traffic if the entry to 'muffin top' showed my picture.

    For real.
