Holy New Year's Resolutions! I haven't made any yet. I'm really trying to find some very personal issues that I will make myself strive to accomplish. Last year I made a resolution to read a new book every month. During hectic months I no more than even touched a book except to dust underneath it. But I read four over the holidays. It doesn't go towards my "12." So I FAILED. W.T.F? Huck and I have started a new competition. Remember the last time we had a competition? I WON. I will say it again unless you didn't hear me the first time, I WON BITCHES! I hate to lose. So I took him up on that there little competition invite. We will see who reads the most books in 2010. Of course he is giving me grief over the book I had already started and was a mere 40 pages into on the 340 page book. "It doesn't count." Someone is VERY SCARED. Fine. I will still beat your ass regardless of your stupid rules. So in light of the competition, I have listed a few books I recommend for flirty, fun reading. My suggestion to get started? Half Price Books or Amazon.

Rules for Boys

Buy this book now—if you have (or plan on having) sons. I must thank Walker for advancing me a copy of his much anticipated book Rules for My Unborn Son. Gleaned from his popular blog, “the book of rules and accompanying quotes is quite simply an instruction manual for becoming a Good Man—industrious, thoughtful, charming, and of course, well-dressed.” It’s a book for the ages. Intended to be passed down from one generation to the next, it’s timeless in its wisdom and delivery.





















I’ve curated my top ten rules I’ve been steadily instilling in my two sons.


• Make sure your clothes fit properly.

• Nothing good ever happens after 3 A.M. Promise.

• Spend time with you mother. She’s cooler than you think.

• The key to good photography is not timing. It’s editing.

• Socks are not necessary in the summer, no matter how formal the occasion.

• Learn to tie a bow tie.

• When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye.

• Don’t be afraid to ask out the best-looking girl in the room.

• Surprise your dad at the office. Trust me, whatever he's doing is not as important as you.

• Never side against your brother in a fight.

Enjoy!
