Rant on Plaid.

You heard right. I am ranting about plaid. You know, that pattern that has recently started coming back in fashion after the last bout in the early 90's.

Why has it come back!? Does no one remember how awful people dressed in the early 90s with all that plaid flannel? "Hick trucker" comes to mind when I see it.... Is it just me that thinks this? I challenge you to prove me wrong.....

I love the analogy

“Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘you’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’” President Obama via Reuters

He makes sense....

How Halloween costume ideas lead to manicures:

I never know what to be for Halloween. On the list of possibilities this year are:

Deal or No Deal Girl
Substitute Teacher
Orbit Gum Girl

They’re all relatively easy… the last is probably the one I wish I could do the most, but I haven’t found the great hat she wears yet. So Orbit Girl will likely be out. And I’m not so sure which of the other two I like more. I think it depends on how appropriate my new glasses are when I get them on Tuesday! Hmmm….

I think a mani-pedi will help the thought process. Good excuse for pretty nails, right?

*Sigh*

The title of this video should be called "Where Jim raises expectations to unrealistic levels". I melt watching this.

I adore these kids

Randomness

Do people actually check voicemail still? i cannot imagine having to actually check it after 3 years of having them delivered via text. i always question whether to leave a vm now because i just assume they don't get checked.

I have a cold. it sucks, but at least i have really super-soft tissues. Hopefully this is the last of the illnesses/injuries for me in 2009. I have had enough!!! On another note, love the boyfriend for bringing me cold meds that work!!!

I have a slight (read: massive) obsession with scrabble. Cannot get enough of it.

I figured out why people stopping on the sidewalk in NYC annoys me unlike anywhere else. It is my street. My primary method of transportation. If someone slammed on their brakes in front of you on the highway, you would be annoyed. Maybe even say a few choice words. That is how I feel when you stop in front of me on the sidewalk.

Things I have learned to do sufficiently well one-handed (and lefty) in the last month:
- use chopsticks!
- signatures (not text, mind you, but I have the signature down pat)
- type one-handed relatively quick
- open child-proof containers (i still cannot get them closed again, though)
- put deodorant on (you would be surprised how difficult this is!)

Things I cannot do well one-handed (and that are a major annoyance!):
- open glass jars
- get child-proof containers closed
- write
- put my hair up - at all!!!

Sex and the City II
