A shoe pic for my new friend in NYC

"The Fountain" movie review! Actually, it can't be a true movie review as I got so cold that we left early so if it drastically improves at the end I guess I will be waiting for the dvd to find out. I had really high expectations going in to this movie, if it was either as 'big' of a movie as it looked in the previews, or as edgy a film as Aronofsky's (my spelling of his name may be off here) earlier work it would be either cool to watch or completely awesome. Neither! Too many extreme close-ups, too slow, and too much dredging us in the leads Undying Love. I was bored, and for me to be bored while looking at Hugh Jackman is a feat lemme tell you. All was not lost, as I did catch a great sale at Old Navy and picked up a pair of comfy, skinny jeans that look great! Took care of a little xmas shopping too.

Hooker Shoes!!! I know that has nothing to do with Thanksgiving or the holiday season and that is why I'm putting it up. I'm already sick of T-day and Black Friday. As a person who seriously considered a career as a personal shopper (I still do it for friends with shopping/clothing issues) Black Friday is newbie day to me. Not to brag, but last week I helped a friend get the start of a new wardrobe including 4 pair of jeans, all different and perfectly fitting, for under $200.00. Yep. So, not planning to hit the stores today, hanging out at home and will go workout later. How do you like those hooker shoes?

Jimmie Johnson in 1st place!!! I like him, Mark Martin too, on his last season racing. Too much fun this weekend, I killed a few brain cells for sure. I bought a little used space heater in order to avoid heating the whole house and, this is gross, but I think there is a dead roach stuck in it because the smell is awful! That is what I get for buying something used, was trying to be more environmentally friendly. Poo. Chatted with a man from Illinois very early this morning- both of us unable to sleep. I guess I put him to sleep as he did not say goodbye! Here is one of my artistic pictures- not dark! Artistic!!

Changed my profile picture to one that isn't so dark, hope you like it! Last weekend was fun, talked on the phone with a couple interesting new friends. Laid back is the term that best describes my grad student friend, it's always cool to chat with people more than once so we can get to know each other that much better. I also chatted with a younger guy who was awfully mature for a 22 y/o, in a good way. The next day a guy from my old hometown gave me a call, that made me a bit homesick for my former hangouts, but I will go back for Thanksgiving to see everyone.

I mentioned my shoe fetish before didn't I? Well, here is a shot of one of my current favorite pairs of shoes.

Flu Shot and Josh Blue were the two things on my itinerary for the past couple of days, sort of. I visited one of my college friends who now works on campus Wednesday, and saw that flu shots were available there, so decided to get one. For an impulse purchase I thought it was pretty smart. Thursday night Josh Blue was going to perform for Disability Awareness week, and I was invited to go. Feeling no effects at all from the shot, my friend and I kidded around that maybe I got a used one.

Ha! As soon as I got home that afternoon I couldn't keep my eyes open, and have been sleeping on and off ever since. Finally today I feel normal. So, I missed the show- although I feel like I've already seen all of his material from watching the show he won. Hi to Mr. Awesome D. who caught me during one of my rare waking moments yesterday!

I'm glad I logged on this morning to accept calls, talked to some very interesting people! My new college friend named B. is working his ass off with classes, I hope you decide to take the new job, but if not, working in a gym has it's advantages for sure. I should be putting makeup on right now instead of blogging, but I had to get rid of that dead link button. If you would like to use one you can scroll down a little, that one works.

I will be back later this evening most likely, going to my alma mater to meet an old friend today and probably head downtown for some lunch or coffee. I love coffee, not Starbucks though. That swill tastes like crap I'm sorry to say. No one notices because most people order the sweet drinks there but to a hard-core coffee drinker, hell even McDonald's coffee around here is better. Don't spill it in your lap though!

It's Monday!! As much fun as I have on weekends I have to admit that I like getting back to my regular weekday stuff. Last weekend was busy with a birthday party and recuperating from that wine tasting Friday. Today has been fun, said a quick hi to my photographer friend while he was driving down the road (as always!)and had a good long chat with Mr.D, who thought I hung up on him. Like I would do that, no way!! Well, maybe to some people, but not him lol. He's a sweetie and the girl he's dating is lucky! Right now I have a big cup of hot tea and getting ready to relax with the new kitty. Talk to you all soon!

I am trying to put a call button on here to make it easy for you to call, but so far haven't found out where to put it. So, here it is, hope this works! Last night I had little wine tasting for some friends, the rules were no wine that cost over $10 a bottle, and all white wines. We couldn't agree on a best one, so have to keep trying, haha. The worst was Beringer's Chenin Blanc. A good Chenin Blanc, like a french vouvray, pardon my spelling please, is so light and fresh it tastes like what Champange wishes it was. This Beringer was Awful, sticky sweet, then after swallowed it just laid down on your tongue and died a rancid death. We had a good time!

Happy day after Halloween! I passed out candy to the kids last night, and have given up guessing what the costumes are, out loud at least. How was I supposed to know that little boy was a prince, not Elvis? Bought way too much candy as usual, too bad I don't have an office where I can abandon it. That is a disadvantage of working from home. I promised one of my new friends a pic of my costume from the other night, and that was a lie- but I do have a couple that really showcase my, ahem, assets, so here they are!
