i think i do, maybe…i’m not sure
I’m not sure where I stand. I’m not sure if I liked it or hated it. Of course, I’m talking about Lipstick Jungle. I’ve watched it twice, now. I thought I was hooked during the first five minutes. But as the show went on, I don’t know? I kept losing interest. The plots and storylines were expected and predictable. I mean the scene where Kim Raver’s character, Nico is in the car, crying after having just cheated on her husband, was very Diane Lane in Unfaithful. But, the actual scene where she cheated on her husband was HOT! I spent an entire hour torn between love and hate: I loved it, I hated it, I loved it, I hated it. Unfortunately, watching it a second time was of no significant help. Perhaps, I expected too much? Maybe I expected/demanded a level of greatness that was impossible to fulfill? No, I don’t think that was it.
At the beginning, I truly liked Brooke Shields Character, Wendy. She was fun, smart, sexy, and talented. She was a wife, a mother, and a top executive to boot. Her character’s dialogue started off strong and sharp and fun, but gradually lost its power. It became boring and humdrum. The writers seemed to be trying too hard. There were certain lines where you just knew her character would never say things like that. Then there was Kim Raver’s character, Nico. I’ll be honest; I was surprised she was cast in this role. Though, I really don’t know much about her. I know she was on that show with the cops and fire fighters a few years ago, but other than that, I know very little. And I actually like that. I like that I don’t have a defined impression of her. I really only hated the car scene of hers. I wish there would have been more background information on her marriage at the beginning of the episode. It would have made the affair more understandable. Other than that, I liked her character. But my favorite, by far, was Lindsay Price’s character, Victory Ford (You can’t just say, Victory. You have to say, Victory Ford, you just have to). I have loved Lindsay since she played, Janet Sosna, Steve’s girlfriend/wife on the last three seasons of Beverly Hills 90210. I just love her. And I love her character, Victory Ford! She’s sarcastic, witty, funny, sexy, smart and has a wardrobe to die for. Her character is by far, the most fun and entertaining to watch. And is why I will be tuning in again, Thursday at 10pm. Hopefully, after this episode I will know whether I enjoy it or not. I think I do, maybe…I’m not sure.
*Thank God the writers strike is over. Now I can finally watch new episodes of 30 Rock and Pushing Daisies!

mazie rae
Say hello to, Mazie Rae! My sister, Tara received her as a gift for Christmas. I just want to squeeze her, and love her, and eat her, and kidnap her and bring her home to live with me. She gets so excited every time you walk into the room she pees all over herself. It’s so cute, yet so disgusting.
View more pictures here.

a little diddy about chris and brooke
Recently, my BFF, Chris and I, do to circumstances beyond our control, have not been able to hang out. Basically, I’ve been busy traveling the world; MN, NY and KY. I consider MN another country for weather alone. Here in WV it has been cold, you know, 65 degrees (Global warming, I shake my left fist at you). While in MN it’s been freaking Antarctica , the high being -7. And Chris, well, he’s been busy working and making a baby with his wife, the Amazing Stephanie. So, in a desperate attempt to bridge our friendship gap, we decided to write a song together. It goes a little something like this…enjoy.
1st verse: Chris
Lonesome and tipsy;
I’m lonesome and drunk.
My best friend ain’t with me
To talk about stuff
If she can’t get here
Before last call is done
I’ll keep nursin’ this warm beer
‘Till I fall over some.
“Title yet to be determined”
1st verse: Chris
Lonesome and tipsy;
I’m lonesome and drunk.
My best friend ain’t with me
To talk about stuff
If she can’t get here
Before last call is done
I’ll keep nursin’ this warm beer
‘Till I fall over some.
2nd verse: Brooke
I’m sober and tired;
I’m running behind.
If this cab doesn’t hurry
I’m gonna lose my mind.
My best friend’s at the bar,
Alone and drunk.
If I don’t get there soon
I’ll never catch up.
3rd Verse: Chris
I’m fuzzy and bleary
the room’s starting to spin.
The feeling’s so bleak
I’d drink tonic and gin.
Outside it’s been snowing,
and it’s freezing the roads.
If my best friend don’t get here
my stomach explodes.
4th verse: Brooke
Testy and angry;
I’m seething to the brim.
I’ll be pissed when I get there
if there’s a cover to get in.
I’ll try calling his cell,
let him know I’m running late.
He’ll forgive me, no matter

I could use something a bit brighter
This is my horoscope for today:
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 - Nov 21)
The shadows are your preferred playground, even if others aren’t eager to join you there. Actually, you will be better off to meet someone halfway, instead of coercing him or her to meet you in the dark. Whatever drama is unfolding now, don’t add additional fuel to the fire. Maintaining self-awareness can ease the pressure, but self-control is also required to avoid falling into your old unconscious patterns.

I’m not sure what to make of it. I’m still trying to figure out what “old unconscious patterns” it is referring to.

christmas; it’s like crack
Lately I’ve been, well, like a kid who can’t wait until Christmas. I’m counting down the days, marking them off on my Christmas calendar, made especially for the sole purpose of building anticipation of the big day. I catch myself sitting in the living room staring at the tree, etching every ornament into my memory and recalling Christmas’ past. I get down in the floor and examine all the presents, paying special attention to those with my name, counting just how many I have. I know, it’s pathetic and very self-absorbed. But Christmas is like crack for me. I love it and once I have just a hit of it, I crave it and find it hard to do normal everyday tasks without thinking about how I’m going to get my next fix.
This year I’ve decided that we, my family and I are going to wear Christmas pj’s on Christmas Eve. At first I wanted us all to wear matching pajamas, but I came to my senses and settled for Christmas themed pajamas instead. I’ve described in detail to every family member, that they must be “Christmas” pajamas and mostly be painted red. I feel that having the re-accruing red will not only make Christmas better and special, but also make all the pictures of opening presents on Christmas morning look good, and more like the perfect J. Crew Christmas catalog image I have in my head of the perfect Christmas. In my dream world I live in the J. Crew catalog. My husband and I, who currently resides on page 43, live our fabulous life frolicking through the countryside in the finest tailor made clothes.
Now, even though I obsess over my Christmas list down to every detail, including websites, page numbers, sizes, colors, and backup gifts incase something is out of stock or not in my size, I also get just as obsessed and excited about buying the perfect gift. I only buy for my family and close friends, everyone else gets a lovely, hand-picked, personal card. But there are those few special people who even throughout the year I enjoy finding the perfect gift for. I get off on it. When I find the perfect gift, the one that oozes that person’s character and just screams, “Yes, this is it!” I become giddy and want to give it to them that instant. I have a hard time waiting until Christmas. I get so excited, this year being no exception. Seeing as it’s 3am and I’m online making yet another purchase. Christmas is so addictive, along with crack and online shopping.
Where I do all my online shopping:
-Anthropologie My most favorite place in the world. They have the best clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry. Basically, the best of everything. I love it oh so much, with all my heart.
-J. Crew
-Sephora
-Moma Store
-Book Soup A great place to purchase signed first addition books.
-Amazon
