I love Lip Smackers.
That could be strangly related to the fact that I am a girl and love lip balm/stick/gloss in generally, but really, what's not to love?
Lip Smackers. They're cute, colorful, fit in your pocket, feel fabulous, smell amazing and taste delicous.
What more could a girl (or her lips) ever ask for?
LOTS of lipsmackers, that's what.
Cotton Candy! Watermelon! Mango, Wild Rasberry! Oh the wonderful lips you can smack! (Or would it be smacks you can lip?)
And with a couple hundred flavors... there's quite a few to smack your lips to.
Obsession worthy? Yes.

Anna's Top Ten Ultimate Weaknesses
Reveling one's weaknesses is a practice to be generally discouraged for several reasons...
A) You are a superhero and reveling your weakness could result in your crushing defeat and demise, or
B) Your family reads your blog and can and will use this against you.
I, however, have decided to flaunt my humanity, risk my superhero identity and offer my family and excellent reference for all kinds of pay back and share with you my top 10 weaknesses.
1. Cake / Cookies / Chocolate
The jury is still out on which one weakens me most. All have a ridiculous amount of calories , start with the letter C, and I can't stop eating them.
2. Shiny objects.
If I were an animal, I would have to be a deer. Headlights are so shiny. I also stop and stare at jewelry displays and tilt spoons to that they catch the light.
3. Pretty things.
I'm a girl. I can't help that I like pretty. Shiny, pretty? They go together. But if it's pretty and shiny, it's just even better and cannot be denied.
4. Clothing Sales.
A perfect excuse to go shopping AND expand my wardrobe!! What more can one ask for?! (Again, I'm playing the girl card. It excuses me for all sorts of insanity.) Irresistible.
5. Puppies.
A little black nose... a pair of moist little eyes... too big paws... floppy ears... heaven help me, I melt. All baby animals do it to me, really. Colts and kittens in particular. They're so dang cute. They're defenseless against me and I against them.
6. Blue Eyes
Deadly. Just deadly. Why are they so much prettier and sexier than brown eyes? Why are they so much deeper and more beautiful? Not fair.
7. Being Tickled
Yes, I'm wildly ticklish. It's really an ultimate, ultimate weakness. The only reason it doesn't go higher up on the list is because I am not completely powerless in it's throes. I often get violent when tickled and will probably kick you in the face, gut or where ever I think will get you to quit tickling me.
8. Diet Coke
It can talk me into anything.
9. That Which Is Forbidden
Come on. That just makes it a thousand times more appealing, right?
10. Pride
Okay. It's more like number one. It's also the most serious, though and it was going to kill the mood there at that top. So I just kept pushing it back... and back... and I almost didn't put it on the list at all. (Bad Anna! You lie!) But believe me, it is a weakness and a vice. A big one.
There you have it. My weaknesses. If you are reading this for insight in how to defeat me, I would ask you pick one of the more pleasant ones. Death by chocolate sounds very pleasant indeed. Funny how many of these things would make it on my favorite things list. Funny how much I love to loathe many of them.
Aren't people odd?

National Girlfriends Day
I don't know about you, but I love strange and obscure holidays nobody really knows or cares about. Mainly because I loathe cliche expectations. Don't get me wrong, tradition is a lovely thing. What is Christmas without a tree, Thanksgiving with no stuffing? In my world, those are dependable traditions. Every year they appear without fail, lest my secure little world crumble to ashes.
And yet, there is something fun about a holiday like National Jelly Bean day or Put a Zucchini on Your Neighbors Porch Night (I kid you not. Look it up. What else is Google for?). It's just delightfully and arrogantly childish to celebrate such a thing. Probably why I like it.
Thus, I give you a post for a 'holiday' of sorts. National Girlfriends Day. Not quite as fun as Ninja Day, but it does give me a chance to ramble (and how I love such opportunities).
Girlfriends. Those friends of ours who are, in fact, girls and not guys. A truer, prettier friend you would be hard pressed to meet.
Below are my classic examples of a true girlfriend.
Someone who will:
1. Paint your toenails and not get upset when you get more polish on her toe than on her actual nail.
2. Tactfully convince you NOT to get that orange top that just looks plain awful on you, without saying you look like a pumpkin.
3. Call you up for no reason at all and talk to you about nothing of much importance for at least 45 minutes.
4. Support you in, give her two cents worth about and be available for consultations about your love life 24/7.
5. Know what you are really trying to say even though you just sort of kind of said it, or just gave her a look.
6. Faithfully loathe the jerk who broke up with you/you broke up/cheated on you/broke your heart/said the wrong thing at the wrong time for all eternity.
7. Share her stuff with you and goodnaturedly steal something of equal or lesser value when you never return it, give it to your kid cousin or sell it in your family's yard sale.
8. Know your phone number, e-mail address, favorite color, candy, song and the guy you currently have a crush on like the back of her hand.
9. Feel comfortable yelling at your siblings and call your Mom "Mom".
10. Share her chocolate.
Feel free to add to my list. I am sure I have forgotten something. I do dearly love lists.
So Happy National Girlfriends Day, ladies.
You go, girls. :)
