Congrats! No name yet. Can’t wait to find out what it is. Am I overinvested in these people?

RIP.

Oh, dear.

I’m not really a resolutions type of gal, but this year I did make one — to be more proactive about my skin. I have my mother’s Irish complexion, and as she has already had to deal with some cancerous spots on her face, it’s about time I started seeing a dermatologist on a regular basis. I’m relatively vigilant about my skin, but I haven’t always been and I do still slip up from time to time.

My first appointment is in February, and I’m hoping it’s all good news! Have you made any resolutions for 2009?

Gwyneth cares about your bowel movements. You know, it’s not enough that I dislike her immensely already, but now every time I see her face I’m going to think about her doing the Master Cleanse and probably crapping her pants. No wonder Chris Martin wants to divorce her puckery ass.

“The child has not been charged.” Did I mention the child is FOUR?

Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend!

Oh my god, it’s Monday again. It’s going to take me a while to get into the swing of things after the holidays. Here’s a photo of a cupcake to start your week off right:

Cherry coke chocolate cupcake. Buttercream and cherry coke frosting. Topped with a maraschino cherry. These cupcakes had a very light taste to them, and were incredibly moist even a few days later. Yum.

I didn’t even know they were dating. What a charmingly adorable couple! Mazeltov!

My mom gave me this perfume for Christmas. I had sampled it at Sephora early this fall and completely fell in love with it, but didn’t buy it then. It’s as good as I remember. There are no petrochemicals or synthetics in the scent, and it’s also infused with antioxidants and vitamins. When I wear it, I can’t stop putting my wrist up to my nose to inhale it.

I LOVE IT, YOU GUYS.

Once again, we find ourselves at the end of another year. I wish Happy Holidays to all, whatever you celebrate, surrounded by family and friends. Thanks for spending 2008 with us here at freakgirl.com. Posting will be sporadic through the New Year, although I’ll try to do a 2008 Wrapup. Now go sip some eggnog and watch out for flying reindeer!

Today’s time-waster. You’re welcome. warning: audio

Gingerbread cupcake with buttercream frosting, topped with peppermint white chocolate candy.

Appalling. I hope every single one of these haters are judged mercilessly by their own god and spend their eternity burning in hell. Merry Christmas!

Three cheers for Jerry Brown, though.
