Friends for Life

What does it say about me when the party who most often texts me is my local Sonic?

Merry Christmas to Me

What's Christmas without a little self love? 

I swore I'd never buy another bag with a black interior, but this is just what I've been wanting--a slouchy hobo (the bag is actually a pefect rectangle) with a short single strap. Think of how many things could get lost in a bag of this size!

Like many cases of true love, it came when I wasn't looking. I walked into TJ Maxx just to "check things out" before heading to my real destination next door (Target). And voila! 

Even better is the fact that it was priced 60% off retail, because there is no way I could have paid full price for it. As it is, this should serve as a gift for several Christmases to come.

Help!

What do you do when the only thing that will make you happy is a donut* and you don't think you can make it through the day without one (or more)?


*or thumbprint cookies from Julias' bakery, or a slice of coconut cake, or a piece of cheesecake--you get the idea

Sophie's Choice

Should Auntie K spend $65 on iTunes to completely catch up on Lost?

Slippery Slope

One day without legitimate home Internet access and what am I doing? Cadging a connection and shopping for Internet packages.

Apparently, crossword puzzles can only take you so far.

It Pays to be Lazy

Instead of going to the track after work yesterday, as I should have, I went to Ulta instead. I bought what I believe to be my first prestige cosmetics purchase--stila lip glaze (in berry). I'm trying to not think about the fact that I just paid $22 for lip gloss, but it is very nice lip gloss.

Anyway, it turns out that skipping the track was the right move. Sometime between 5 and 10 pm last night, the water in my apartment went out. I probably would not have jumped into the shower as soon as I got home from the track, and would have been very sorry later to have to spend the night and next day wearing my dried sweat. As it was, I "freshened up" this morning with moistened wipes, brushed my teeth with bottled water, and came to work early to wash my face and put on makeup (and use the toilet). So, I may be fat, but at least I'm not totally smelly!

One Man's Trash...

This story about college resale programs reminded me of the BYU Lost and Found sale, which I visited a few times. It also made me think about something I heard in Chattanooga a couple of weeks ago, where someone said that in the past several years (or at least the past 15-20), the student body at BYU has changed, and is much more affluent and upper-middle class, to the point where many students have cars and look at students who work on campus as being second-class citizens. Hmm. Don't know if that generalization is actually true, but it does make one think.
