SHOPPING NEWS
anthropologie is having AMAZING swimsuit sales right now.
$200 one-pieces for $60.

definitely worth checking out if you have a beach in your future.
i hate paying full price. for anything.
.
i work for a company that sells appreciation.
[hard to grasp, i know]
i work on a team to market that appreciation.
doing lots of different things...
public relations
project management
brand enforcement
special projects / requests
and sometimes i write.
product names.
product descriptions.
and sometimes, they are posted on the WORLD WIDE WEB.
(so naturally, everyone in the world must be reading it?)
merry christmas.
it's the most wonderful time of the year.
have you started celebrating?
There'll be parties for hosting
(or attending... check)
Marshmallows for toasting
(or in our hot chocolate? check)
And caroling out in the snow
(singing and snow ... check)
There'll be scary ghost stories
(we watched TAKEN, so ... check)
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

1. my dream concert. billy joel & elton john. friday night.
2. thailand. SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE.
we've been DYING to go on a vacay.
the best laid plans of mice and men, oft do go awry.
[i have a lot of great ideas]
hawaii didn't work out because we couldn't recruit the numbers we needed.
italy was a sure thang with the swapps (they dig it) until we did the exchange-rate math.
(don't worry we'll make it back for a torino 2006 reunion)
BUT
it looks like our next adventure will be packed with
satay, panang curry and pad grau pau
come this spring.

this weekend was restful and wonderful.
snowy saturday.
movies on the couch.
snuggling by the fire.
pizza bagels and pomegranates.
and even though we miss new york, and our hearts cry a little when we read about everyone's fantastic walks in central park, or dinners at our favorite places - we love it here.
the free time.
the friends.
the diy projects.
[which are speedily coming to an end. as soon as i get final touches on wall art up and a mirror hung you'll see photos]
i also committed to 30 Day Shred Round 2.
what did you do?
.
i have a few friends who are REALLY good with make up.
i'm not one of those people.
but i've been dying to try some new things ...
and i can without feeling like i wasted a fortune.
which means...
plum nail polish $0.50
fiery fuchsia lipstick $2.50
smokey gray eye shadow $0.50
so if you're dying to try fake eye-lashes, or need a new kabuki brush ($1.50) - try them out.
.
have you ever just known?
a hunch.
a feeling.
a thought
have you ever felt that
the situation.
the person.
the events about to unfold.
were NO GOOD?
i think we sometimes ignore that feeling.
it's nothing.
i'm paranoid.
the weather?
and sometimes, when we do, bad things happen.
last night i had that feeling in parking lot.
then i had that feeling as i ran the errand.
and when i looked behind me and made eye contact with a large man with empty eyes, every nerve ending in my body screamed.
maybe it was nothing.
maybe i am paranoid.
but instead of ignoring it.
i turned around.
i found someone with a cell phone.
[i had forgotten mine]
i feigned a reason to call my husband.
and told him to get there PRONTO.
then i stalled.
then matt arrived.
then i bawled.
and nothing bad happened.
i just love my husband that much more.
do you sew?
enough to make 2 pillow shams?
i'd reward you handsomely.
(well, at least fairly)
i have the fabric.
just need them DONE by monday...
.
all of our home projects are coming to an end (for now).
and i have to say that i miss the painting and stapling.
and can't wait to help ash with her upcoming DIYs.
if i could do EXACTLY what i wanted,
i'd buy one of these CHEAP couches and then have my cheap upholsterer redo it.
in a FABULOUS schumacher fabric.
