Ann Abler of the Week - #7 When Will 'Fat Jeans' be a thing?

Each Saturday I give an Ann Abler of the Week Award  to a person that embodies the essence of your Dear Ann Abler's advice. In other words, someone that agrees:

• Every plan is tentative until it is actually happening
• The best part of a plan is planning it
• Putting rum in your NutriBullet is going to make that juice fast more fun

This week we honor Tommmy Noble (@GeauxSaints79) as Ann Abler of the Week for outfitting his future fatter self. I'm usually pro-procrastination, but in this case, planning ahead sounds like more fun. No shame no gain, as they say. Isn't that what they say?

If you would like to be considered or nominate someone for this very prestigious award, send me a message via this site (comment section or homepage email form), Facebook, or Twitter, and include #AnnAblerOfTheWeek.

You're too sexy for that shirt,

Ann Abler of the Week - #6: Hanger Management

Each Saturday I give an Ann Abler of the Week Award  to a person that embodies the essence of your Dear Ann Abler's advice. In other words, someone that agrees:

• Most problems can be solved with an impromptu dance party 
• "Snacks" is a food group
• Advanced avoidance skills and expert excuses come to those who wait

Generally I would say that avoidance is the first (and easiest and therefore best) step in dealing with a problem. However, this does not hold true if you are 36 weeks pregnant and need a sausage egg and cheese biscuit at 5 a.m. STAT! That's why Sarah del Rio of est. 1975 is the Ann Abler of the Week.

This week I learned something new from Junkyard Poet (@junkyardigan). While many of us have heard of a herd, there are other names for groups of animals (a pride of lions, a murder of crows, a crash of rhinos), and apparently a phrase for a group of children:

Thank you Junkyard Poet for reminding us why they serve beer at Chuck E. Cheese's.
