I thought that I would follow my fellow beach bunnies down to Miami or Daytona or perhaps out to Cali. You know, put on my yellow bikini, grab a few cosmos, and look extremely pleased to be pole dancing with twelve other blond chicks and a brunette (for variation), all for the sake of some hairy guys drinking beers and the MTV crew (who really must ( Read more... )

How are you?

My first resolution of 2009 is to think about you before I think about me.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, ( navel gazing, which is an even more unpleasant but necessary activity after eating too much over the holidays. )

I thought today would be the day: at 5:00 p.m. on a gray and misty Thursday, I would finally experience it. I would let go of the stereotype I'd held for far too long and become, once again, an open-minded, trusting human being ( Read more... )

You may want to skip this. I don't want to offend anyone. But I also wanted to post jibjab's newest political satire for those who are interested.

( Context (because we know that satire without context is very, very dangerous) )

I'm home early because our washer had to get repaired. Yes, I know, very exciting ( Read more... )

I had a lousy day until I came home ...

First, my DH fed me junk food, and we watched the 4400 on DVD. It's not a perfect show, but I find it fun to watch.

Then, my cats jumped up on the couch and kept me company.

Finally, my sshg_exchange gift was posted, and it was just fantastic! It perfectly fulfilled my prompt, and it matched my tastes almost to a ( Read more... )

Continuing my quest to make the three of you out there who don't like Jane Austen change your minds, I advise you all to check out Northanger Abbey on PBS tomorrow night (if you're an American ... if you're living elsewhere, you've probably already seen these productions on ITV). True, the ITV version of Persuasion was a little lame (you really ( Read more... )
