Gin and an empty stomach

Ok, My Idol...Jen Lancaster, with pearls and all, went out with her husband, Fletch the other day.
She, like I, sometimes does not eat when she goes out.
So, She proceeds to have 5 Gin and tonics. (That's my girl)Then she and Fletch leave and find this photo booth.

Picture one:
Jen looking into the camera and Fletch looking pretty good.
Notice the pearls.

Picture 2

Jen Leaning down to get both she and fletch into the pictures
Notice the pearl earrings

Picture 3

Jen Bending down and leaning oh so back towards Fletch.
(Great lipstick Jen)

Picture 4


Priceless

The look on Fletch's face is better than anything I've ever seen.
The poor girl Fell down.
Pearls and all.





I love this woman. I would love to go out with this woman. I could take her to the Joynt and lord...my reputation would never ever be the same again.

Hope she's ok. HE HE HE

My new favourite word...
That and "asshat"

Yes, my anger phase is beginning, but it just doesn't have to do with a break up. Work and my health has a larger part of this anger.

The man part of my life...well, be careful what you wish for. Sounds cryptic...it should. I'm not saying much of anything. I'm keeping it to myself until I know what is what.
But I'll tell you this.
I"m ok
I'm happy
and all unfolds just as it should.

Reverting to my child hood

I think I want to jump in puddles, play in the sandbox, play tag and most of all

COLOR.

I think I'm gonna get me a box of crayons. Remember the first few days of school and the smell of new crayons. It's one of those comforting feelings.
Yep, I'm going to the bookstore, get one of those "arty" coloring books and some new crayons.

NO picture needed...too sad

Well...about 6 hours ago, I was sitting on a love seat, in an apartment in Eau Claire, and very very adult like...breaking up with my boyfriend/significant other. Actually, he was telling me that it wasn't me - it was him and that he feels better alone.
I KNOW that this isn't the place to air my dirty laundry.
I KNOW that this really has nothing do do with me, because...well... I"m in a healthier place than where I was so many many months and years ago.
But you know...
It still hurts.
It hurts alot.
And I don't think all the martinis in the world will change it.
(I'm now just miffed that I won't get to finish the sopranos' with him this summer. I guess that the anger part is a good sign that one is healing...)

Finally Justified!

The woman on the left is my new idol. Her name is Jen Lancaster. She wrote Bitter is the New Black, as well as Bright Lights, Big Ass.
She has justified my reasons for why I am a label whore, why having a few martinis with friends is fine, and why above all...pearls go with everything. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING.
Read her books.
I think it should be required reading for all women my age. Really. Or for men who want an insight on why some of us women feel that we must have a correct bag and correct shoes at all costs! (Yep...notice she's carrying a Wonderful COACH bag along with a fab preppy sweater and her famous pearls.)
I am a girl. And I will now admit, a very uppity girl.
AND THIS WOMAN JUSTIFIED MY WHOLE THOUGHTS ON THE MATTER.

a wonderful taste treat...

This is my new favourite snack. I am addicted to these things. High in protein, pretty healthy and just plain old tasty. Love them in salad, love them as a garnish, love them just straight out of the can.
I could eat these everyday.

And my co worker things they are poison.... and that is a long story.

I had a wonderful talk with my best friend tonight. We have both been busy with our lives and haven't been able to talk like we used to. But...as good friendships go, we picked up right where we left off.
He's so happy. I think his wife, Erika, is the coolest chick on the planet. And I am glad that they found each other.
They are in the process of moving from Glendale to Pasadena. (the first thing I said to him is to watch out for the little old ladies...He said that he's heard that about a dozen times and will be living a few blocks from Colorado Blvd)
And in 6 months or so...he and Erika will be making the trek to Portland, Oregon. Just Because. Well, pollution sucks, and so does traffic and assholes and all the other annoying things about living where you do...but they would like a change.
Sometimes change is good.
Its wierd though...not being able to just hop in the car and hang out with Mark in a matter of a couple of hours time. But our lives have changed.
And it is so nice for the both of us to be happy.

Woke up this morning...

...and got myself a gun

A sad thing has happened.
HBO has addicted me to another of their series...
The Sopranos
Yes, Sex and the City is my most fave, but the Sopranos are now my most favourite guilty pleasures.
I'm still on season 1, but I plann to get thru all of the seasons this summer.

BTW...Pauley Walnuts is someone that I hold close to my heart!
