I need to overcome my magazine addiction. Seriously.

Glamour says "Hey, it's ok"

• to really want to get married super-duper bad.
  
• to take a quick YouTube break at work. A sneezing panda can really clear the head.
  
• to buy it without trying it on--especially if you're wearing more layers than a piece of baklava.
  
• to laugh inappropriately every time Maury says, "Billy Bob...you ARE the father."

and I say it's ok

• to eventually get tired of all the Christmas music.
  
• to be more creative with the wrapping than with the actual gifts.
  
• to look forward to time off more than gifts.
  
• to miss your family and be glad you're not home at the same time.
  
• to not be perfect!

Which leads me to Glamour's "Reasons Being Perfect is Overrated"

• Have you seen the Venus de Milo? Awe-inspiring--and yet, missing two arms!
  
• Avoiding chipped fingernails means no gardening, no pistachio eating, no "Heart and Soul" playing. Not worth it!
  
• Well, it's exhausting.
  
• Nobody interesting has perfect handwriting.
  
• If you act like a professional all the time, no one will talk to you at the office holiday party.
  
• Breast implants need replacing every 10 yeras or so. Just FYI.
  
• Mutts are just the cutest!
