I perfected the walkaway after this…

February 2, 2014 by MsCheevious

I PERFECTED THE WALKAWAY AFTER THIS…

A few weeks ago, M.C. Nugget and I (along with his friend Bogey) attended a star-studded wedding party. It was the wedding of the guy who directed a film Nuggie and Bogey wrote back in the day. Now… when I say star-studded, I mean, the couple hired a TON of quasi-famous people to perform or participate in the wedding “after-party.”  We were only invited to the after-party, because the couple opted for this, rather than a huge formal wedding and reception (their actual nuptials were the day before the party, with select friends and family).

Bacall, Bogey’s main squeeze, couldn’t make it, but she put out a challenge to anyone who could spot an ice sculpture first.

I thought that was interesting. It’s not like I think “ice sculpture” when I think wedding. But meh… who am I to think of weddings anyway?

It was extravagant. It felt like we were at the Golden Globes.

Did I mention, we decided we’d rather go to this kind of wedding after-party all day long, then attend the formal wedding of people we don’t really know well?

Suffice it to say – we had F*U*N people. Open Bar, Delicious-Food-A-Plenty… What more could we ask?

How about the friggin BRIDE learn some manners??

To be fair, after my second martini, I decided to go up to the bride (whom I’d met very briefly ONCE) to let her know I approved of her dress. Because, this would be a treat for any bride on her special day, to know that I, Ms. Cheevious, approved. Right?

I walked up to her, tapped her on the shoulder, reminded her of how we met, and said,

I love your dress. It’s GORGEOUS!

Pretty brilliant eh?

Yeah… she was dumbfounded. She said thanks, and  sort of turned her back to me to talk to the other five hundred people clamoring for her attention.

The problem is… well… THERE I WAS, standing there. AWKWARDLY.

So what does one do, when one is turned away from suddenly?

The WALKAWAY people. The F-ing, Tail-between-the-leg-over-perceived-rejection-where-there-is-none WALKAWAY. I’m an expert now. I PERFECTED that mother-fucker. Yes. I said the F word.

But look at the pretty pictures of what this party was like!

It started like any other star-studded event in Hollywood… with a red carpet.

Then, the FIRST thing we saw upon entry, was this beautiful, elaborate ….

One cannot have a star-studded Hollywood wedding without a little contortion. Just sayin’.

They also had not one, but TWO of the Dancing with the Stars couples performing a few of their numbers. And I know Chelsie Hightower which made it even cooler… I was so glad to see her, I emailed her on the spot to say “You’re here? Woot!”

Chelsie Hightower performed

 

Then – we were treated to a rare performance by Mr. RICK SPRINGFIELD and his one-hit wonder, 8-6-7-5-3-0-99999999!

8-6-7-5-3-0-999999

 

The takeaway? Have a healthy attitude, regardless of what goes on. But also: Know when to hold em… know when to fold em… know when to (do the) WALKAWAY (and of course… know when to run).

It was like Lickity Split

January 27, 2014 by MsCheevious

IT WAS LIKE LICKITY SPLIT

The other night I had just finished teaching two very intense SP Pilates classes at Sweat Pilates in Culver City, when I decided to stop by the Trader Joe’s. The last thing I wanted to do was shop for groceries at 9:00 PM at night, but I sucked it up and drove over.

I think grocery stores and markets around the country should make it a policy for their staff to stand at the front door and hand out merit badges (read: at least 30% off purchases that night) to anyone who buys more than four items at 9PM on a Monday night. Especially in Culver City (sketch-ville in spots). I should get the discount just for the effort. It’s never easy to drag my ass over to any store at that time, let alone one in Culver City to do the full blown SHOP thing.

I was pretty high on teaching adrenaline after my classes, so when I got to the entrance and a guy who looked like an older, African American version of Ron Woodruf from Dallas Buyers Club (with a little Morgan Freeman mix) asked me if I could buy him some food, I decided to engage with him. It’s not like I often ignore homeless people… no. I feel their pain… and realize that “but for the grace of God, there go I.” But I do admit to saying “Sorry, I can’t right now,” more often than not lately.

I stopped and said, “I can give you the cash I have on me, if that works? Two bucks?”

And the guy said, “Oh thank you so much miss. Do you mind if I hug you?”

Do you mind if I hug you?

In that millisecond, I thought about it. Yep. He looked like he had Aids – he was skinny and haggard as a rail, and had one of those 60’s style afros that reached about 6 inches from his head, was laced with silver/gray hair and was just as straggly as the rest of him.

But then I thought This may be the only time this day, week, month… YEAR this guy ever gets shown any remote affection or anything.

So I said yes.

The guy hugged me warmly.

Then he reached his head around my neck and sort of kissed the back of my neck – but it felt very wet.

He had either LICKED or tried to FRENCH KISS my neck.

I know.

EWWWWW!!! (that’s what the little girl in my post image is saying)…

I quickly said, “Have a great night…” and walked off. I half-floated away as if lived in a cartoon and had just been hit really hard on the head by one of those cartoon sledge hammers.

I still had tweetie birds circling my head when the little voices began to rattle my brain.

Did he just lick me?

What were you thinking?

What if the guy has some disease you can get through the skin?

What if he has Aids?

Can you get Aids like that?

No you can’t, dumbass.

That was really f-ing stupid Lisa! 

These tweetie bird thoughts circled my brain as I shopped, and when I hit the register, I grabbed the hand sanitizer and lathered it all over my friggin neck, hands and more.

Then I felt really stupid.

Why was I so freaked out? Because the guy LICKED me. He took LIBERTIES with me! (My Dallas grandmother would faint and probably did roll over in her grave – God rest her soul). But it was just odd. Right?

Poor guy. He probably hadn’t had any human contact like that from someone non-homeless in a long time… or hell… maybe he gets a lick every day and it’s the ONE thing he loves to brag about to his other street friends “Hey guys! I got number 357 tonight! You should’ve seen the look on her face! And I got two bucks too! Woohoo!!”

But ya know… If the guy is homeless and begging for food, and that is what makes his day just a little brighter, then GOOD FOR HIM, and I’m glad I did it.

I looked for the guy as I exited and there was no sign of him.

OF COURSE.

He licked and ran!!!

So you know…

It was like …. LICKITY SPLIT.

…

…

I’m here all week.

Now go out there and reach out to someone in need with your human-ness this week, would you?

YOU CAN SUCK IT

Ice that is. IF you (or anyone you know) are a Hottie McHottlestein dealing with sudden and uncontrollable – ahem – heat  (read: #hotflashes)… then just SUCK IT.

Suck or chew enough of the cold stuff and before you can strip down to your skivvies, you’ll be shivering.

And guess what? There’s an added bonus:

Your body will burn extra calories trying to warm itself back up.

WOOT.

Suck It

We Need a Real Ahhhhhh…Haaaaaa Moment

March 17, 2013 by MsCheevious

To say I need a real ahhhhhh…haaaaaa moment after the week…

scratch that… after the last few months I’ve had, is the understatement of the decade. But it’s true: We all need a real ahhhhhh…haaaaaa moment from time to time, and for me, that time is right about now.

Last Friday, an über huge event I produced (and was also the publicist for) in a Pacific Northwest town came off without a hitch (well, almost).  When I say über huge, I mean huge ass, with whipped cream and cherries on top huge.

My first challenge was to navigate the political structure between my client (the money) and the folks he was partnered with (a nightclub and the venue for the event). Think about it. My moniker is MsCheevious. Ms. Cheevious Women do not do well with phrases like “political” and “structure,” particularly when they are forced on us, or when… say…  we accidentally, maybe, just land there… let alone the fact we make it our mission in life to enjoy every moment. How the hell is that supposed to happen in circumstances like these?

First off, my client’s partners didn’t see the need to hire me and had in fact hired their own local publicity firm. Seems like a waste of money to me to have two firms for a venue opening, but that ship had sailed, and it was time to get to work.

My client was a great support to me. He stressed from the very beginning to his partners that my company was in charge of the event, and that everything was to be run through me and my staff. Period.

That was nice.

It never happened. But it was nice.

Let me break it down simply.

All of the things that I insisted on and steamrolled through, against the protests or objections of most, were the very things that were the hit of the party.

Most of what occurred without my knowledge or involvement were the very things that could have ruined the party. (Of course, because I assumed the permanent role of Ms. Fixit, nothing in hell was going to ruin the party).

Thank GOD I had a stellar team to help produce the event. Though the message everyone originally wanted for the club and the event, and the message we ended up with (just two days before the event) were worlds apart, it all came together quite nicely.

The red carpet (and this is the part I promised in my last post “I’m Your Bridge (Over Troubled Water) Baby” about the little celebs that could) welcomed stars from The Big Bang Theory, The Neighbors, Hot in Cleveland, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and more. Even with all of the issues and the fact we weren’t authorized to publicize much until two days prior to the event, we were able to get all of the major wire service press, local magazine and business journal outlets and a correspondent from Coco Perez (Perez Hilton’s fashion website). I would have preferred more national attention, and certainly more local press, but only so much can be done or expected with a list of obstacles a mile long.

I’m exhausted. I simply work too hard. Don’t we all?

All I can think about is relaxing and giving myself a break.

I swear.to.god. I’m pulling out my yoga routine from my book  “Ahhhhhh…Haaaaaa Moments with Ms. Cheevious” today (and many other days this week) and DOING IT.

It’s the very Yoga routine I taught at the Aspen Club & Day Spa back in the day when I lived in Aspen. People loved my class, and always said they felt so rejuvenated and refreshed afterward.  It’s an e-book with photos of me, showing YOU how to do it (and no, you do not need a Kindle or Nook to use it. It can be used on your own device with Kindle for Mac, Kindle for iPad, iPhone  or Kindle for PC, which are all free).

You’d think I wouldn’t need the book, since I use to teach this class, right? But hey  — I have a lot on my mind. There is only so much real estate left in my brain, and I simply can’t give up space to etch these things in. That’s why I made a book with a lot of pretty pictures. I also made it so that you everyday Joe and Jane types (who don’t do yoga – or maybe you do) can LOOSEN UP. You’d be amazed how much more effectively you can actually do things… do “life,” when you simply STRETCH your body.

I’d wager a bet that even if you don’t have a day job or a stressful career like me, you still work too damn hard. Things beyond your control like politics at work, drama or ineptitude all create tension in your bod. Basically, you’re walking around like a tightly wound string that is about to POP!

And I don’t know about you, but I do not have the luxury of “popping.” I have to get on to the next event people! There is no rest for the Ms. Cheevious Woman (or Mr. Cheevious guy for that matter)!

So get to it.

It will be a treat to YOU if you do something to make your body feel relaxed and refreshed. You can pick yours up here for just under $2.00.

TWO – FREAKIN’ – BUCKS PEOPLE.

As you can see, selling these books is not going to facilitate my early retirement plan. I do it out of love for you. Because I’m that nice.

But you actually have to click the little link-y thing and get yourself a copy to see any benefits. Then after you’ve gotten a copy, please write a real and true review. I’ll send you something nice, shiny and new that you will like (it will be something cool, and you’ll get to choose) if you do write a review by April 10th (2013) and you let me know about it at mscheevious at mscheevious dot com (you can figure that email out right?).

But if you don’t get a copy for yourself or someone else you know who needs to CHILL OUT, then please:  try to relax and treat yourself well on your own, would you?  We need you here. A few minutes of stretching, maybe some hot tea and a cookie on any given day could do you a world of good and keep you around longer for all of us to enjoy.

Love you people! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes…. OR… Yes, You Probably DO Eat Too Much

January 7, 2013 by Patricia Walters Fischer

NOTE FROM MS. CHEEVIOUS:

I’d like to welcome Ms. Patricia Walters Fischer to the fold, and she’s here to tell you (and me) that Yes, you probably DO eat too much, and maybe it’s time to make some ch-ch-ch-changes. And hell, I’m right there with her, people. I’m back to my local weight loss support group myself this year, reclaiming my lifetime membership all over again. Hey – one can never be too sure the fat isn’t sneaking its way back onto one’s body, now can one? So I’m going to be lean and alcohol free for a while folks. Oh yes.  

Let’s give her a listen, shall we? Even if you are presently starving yourself.

Patricia is  a writing / author-friend of Ms. Cheevious. She’s a dynamo, hot mommy, and we love her. Enjoy. 

============

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes…. 

                  OR…

         Yes, You Probably DO Eat Too Much

It’s January. That means everyone has a “goal” they plan to meet or beat this year and according to the powers that be at Entertainment Tonight, 43% of you pledge to make losing weight one of them.

Part of New Year’s appeal is the idea of starting over; of beginning anew and the thought that any and all mistakes of the past year (or decade) are put behind us.

Problem is, if you enter the New Year with the same mindset you exited the last one, will anything really change? Since the fairy godmother didn’t show up and give you those gorgeous (but look really uncomfortable) glass slippers and the prince isn’t coming to sweep you off your feet, or even sweep your floor, what will change? What will be different in your life that will allow you to reach your goals?

Last year I’d reached wits end. At 5’ 3” and weighing in at 230 pounds, I felt miserable, frustrated, and overwhelmed. I’d gotten to the point where I’d become “that mom” who sits a lot and can’t keep up with her children. Plus, I could imagine the looks on my kids’ faces as we were creeping towards their middle school years—mom had become embarrassingly unhealthy.

I didn’t want that for them, for me, for my husband, but how to change it? Or better yet, how did I even get so far into the obesity spectrum in the first place? And if I do manage to get my ever growing ass off the couch, how do I make sure I don’t go backwards?

As a wanna-be best-selling writer, my creative muse had taken a permanent holiday, and I couldn’t write anything that would be rated above crap. Really frustrating since I had some great, almost-finished works on my computer, just waiting for me to complete.

The question was, what should I change or better yet, how?

I knew last year when the clock struck twelve and the fireworks flew into the sky, it wouldn’t suddenly give me all the answers and the right path to make all my dreams come true.

No Blue Fairy or Fairy Godmother or magic lamp would appear… and even if they did, true change is one of the hardest things to do and we’ve all learned from the fairy tales, that change has to come from within. No amount of magic does it for us.

Shit. And I was so hoping for the easy road.

I’d tried all sorts of diets before, but they didn’t work. One reason for that was I’d always chosen extremist plans to get the quickest results. I found out very fast I’ll never be fond of eating tree bark or drinking some horrid concoction that includes fennel.

With three kids, I found myself running in circles and not ever having a good workout routine, especially since I’d be exhausted as soon as I got up in the morning. I had no energy to spare or even to spend, but something had to give.

Get up early? Stay up late? Hire a babysitter?

Was I depressed? I didn’t think so. I’d simply be frustrated with myself because I’d have these days of clarity and motivation and would get a few things done, then fall back into the sluggish pattern again, and think to myself Grrrrrr, this sucks! What can I do to get a grip?

First, I learned I needed my gall bladder out. Tests at the end of the year confirmed that little organ was functioning at about 11% and probably causing a lot of my fatigue, but it wasn’t the magic bullet. Removing it did help my body heal and my mind not be so foggy. Immediately, I could tell a difference and within days, I was able to more effectively wrap my mind around exactly what needed to happen: Change how I saw the world and myself. For the first time in a long time, it seemed doable.

At the encouragement of a friend, I started taking pictures of everything I ate and drank and it opened my eyes to what exactly I was fueling my body with—complete and utter garbage.

That is me in the middle with the friend who helped me, Stefan (right).

I remember Oprah talking about being mindful of what she ate, but I told myself I knew what I was eating and it wasn’t that bad. I must have something else going on because my diet was fine. After I started taking pictures of everything, and I mean everything, it helped me better understand and Holy Crap! Did I eat a whole lot of carbs, sugar, and fat. I’m amazed I only weighed 230 pounds.

I started taking pictures of everything, and I mean everything

With the new outlook on what I ate, it helped me see what I did during my day and how I could be more productive. Even simple things like making a short to-do list before getting errands done, made my time more productive and I got things done. And I stress short here—no making impossibly long to-do lists that included losing ten pounds, cleaning the entire house, knitting sweaters for all kids in the Midwest, and creating World Peace before lunch time.

It seems like a no brainer, but when you can’t think straight or you’re so used to burying yourself in obligations, you can easily get frustrated and even fail.

After three months, not only had I dropped thirty-five pounds, my mind felt clearer, and I’d completed revisions of one of my romantic comedies. By May, I’d sold it. That news came a day before my husband and I found out we’d been matched for two children we were hoping to adopt.

At the writing of this, I’ve dropped another five pounds, but the big deal is I’ve kept it off for six months. No backsies!

To prove it to myself, I cleaned out my closet, a bit of a New Year’s purge to show how far I’d come and to get rid of the fall back, fat clothes.
My health and weight are stable and I’m ready for the next half of my health journey—losing another fifty pounds by this time next year.

Life is still overwhelming at times. Factoring in time to exercise, write my next best seller, and caring for kids, a house, and husband can make the day seem normally chaotic. There are days I don’t get a shower and my legs need to be shaved more often than twice a week, but I’m an ever improving work in progress.

I still don’t make brownies like Martha Stewart, but I don’t obsess about it. I don’t eat my frustrations, but I don’t go run a marathon either. I changed the way the world looks around me. I don’t beat myself up when things aren’t perfect, I accept compliments without arguing about it, and I like myself.

That was the biggest change of all and ultimately for only me, but something interesting happened: I enjoyed my family more and mundane obligations like laundry didn’t seem too overwhelming.
Because my friend helped me, I want to help you.

 

Because my friend helped me,

      I want to help you.

 

I’ve started a 2013 Kick Ass and Get Healthy Board on Pinterest where I’m posting articles, recipes, and ways you can meet health and wellness goals. What I discovered is it’s not only about the food or the exercise, it’s about how you feel about yourself. Do you think you’re worth the challenge?

Don’t be so afraid to change how you see the world or even how you approach it, that you lose out on what you’re worth. It can be frightening, but it can be one of the best things you’ll ever do for yourself.

Good luck in 2013!

Resolution-Based Date Ideas for 2013

December 28, 2012 by MsCheevious

This is going to be brief (not). We are far too busy during the holidays to sit around reading random posts by aspiring writers (even if they’ve just published a book on Amazon for Kindle – oh yeah… uh huh…). But I wanted to get this off to you quickly… before the Hanukkah and Christmas decorations were yanked off the walls and the New Year’s Eve celebrations and the endless professions of New Year’s Resolutions began.

You know, I’m not much on making resolutions. I’ve got enough lists of things to do, one of which is my list of lifelong and short-term goals. I am so damn goal-oriented, I get overwhelmed looking at how long my list of goals has become.

That said, I’m not living under a rock, and I see your tweets and Facebook posts. I see what you share with me in your circles. I realize everyone is thinking in these last few days of the year about New Year’s Resolutions.

So I’m going to provide you my giant list of Goals or Resolutions for the coming year (there are two), and I’m double-timing the list. It will also serve as a list of great date ideas for you and any significant other you choose, or happen to be with, in 2013. I love killing two birds with one stone. So instead of hitting the Hot or Not or Tinder app you single wild-things, try THIS. And this first one might feel a little harsh, but that’s what resolutions are for.

1. CLEANSE THE CRAP AWAY.

My Resolution: This past year I went through a TON of crap, surgically, physically, mentally, emotionally… you name it. I also have deep emotions about food and booze. I’m in love with both of them. It’s a sordid love triangle. If I need to feel the love, I allow myself more indulgence than is generally necessary. So, come January, (after the New Year’s holiday travel), I’ll be lean, and dry, eating organically as much as possible, and drinking all non-alcoholic beverages. I plan to do this for at least a month. Stay tuned on that.

Your Date: Similar to me, many of you have experienced your own share of CRAP. Only yours may have been with the opposite sex. If that is the case, do a cleansing ritual of your own (perhaps burn their names on little tiny pieces of paper and send their ashes down the toilet). Then do us all a favor (yourself mostly) and vow to have a closed door policy on your life, would you? At least in regard to Mr. or Ms. Charming. Unless he or she does what they should to be granted admittance, don’t let that door creak open. Trust me. You’ll be surprised and delighted. Once you are surprised and delighted, let them in, and you can continue the cleansing as follows:

Take a BATH together baby. You and your date should seek out a cool bath house, a hot springs spa, outdoor pools, or simply fill the backyard (or indoor) Jacuzzi! Then jump in and enjoy. Bring the strawberries and wine or champagne. Just because I am abstaining from alcohol, doesn’t mean you must.

Awesome pools for skinny dipping

2. EXERCISE FREQUENTLY.

My Resolution:  For the same reasons listed above, my daily workout regimen has suffered greatly. I’m feeling more these days like a bobble-body than a svelte, lean, mean fighting machine (which I vehemently prefer). Play time is OVER. Time to get back to it, and at LEAST 3 times per week, at that. This starts the same time as the cleansing.  Yes.  It’s on. (And yes, I will probably be doing my yoga practice which is in my new book on Amazon — yeeeeee!!!!)

Your Date:  We could figuratively go to a wide array of places with this one… have sex frequently (I love that one), go to the gym together… But how about you go out for a long walk or hike? Next time, ride bikes. Don’t own one? Take a drive to the nearest bike-friendly location and rent them for the day. If bikes aren’t your thing, there are any number of alternatives: roller skating, blading, skateboarding, exercise your mind playing chess in the park. Pick an exercise and do it together!

Just be Active!

That’s all I got for ya‘.  I told you it would be brief.  Now, if you are so inclined, I’d love for you to find my books on Amazon for the Kindle, Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD.  Don’t have a Kindle? It’s okay! Amazon has a free Kindle Reader for your computer.  Click here to see my books, and if you choose to purchase one for a buck, ninety-nine, there should be an option to download Kindle for PC or Mac.

Have a beautiful, fun, safe New Year’s Eve celebration lovely ladies and gentlemen!  I’ll be in touch very soon!

#MomFactor: If you’re a single mom, all of the above applies to you. And I MEAN THAT. Get out there and date, lady! If you aren’t single, get out there with your significant other and DATE lady!
