Dear Black & Decker,

Talk about the perfect gift for a divorced gal!

Congratulations for coming out with the Stud Sensor! OMG! I bought one for myself and can't wait to see how it works. Your packaging says it detects studs through walls up to 3/4-inch thick.

Whoa! I knew technology had come a long way but wow, this is really exciting. I didn't open the package yet because I am just not ready.

You see, I overate again during the holidays and there's no point hunting studs if you're not prepared to do something about it once you hone in.

So here's my weekend plan. I'm going to drink lots of water, workout extra hard, do my roots, get a manicure, and pick up a couple of AA batteries. 

On Monday I'm going to give my Stud Sensor a whirl.

I finally have room for it in my pocketbook now that I'm done with all those freakin holiday coupons — even if it is the It size of one of those old cell phones. Hey, it could be the size of a rump roast — who cares as long as it works. I'll let you know.

One question: Is there any particular protocol I am supposed to follow once I detect a stud through a 3/4-inch wall? Please get back to me before Monday.

Happy Holidays!
