random thoughts of the morning

We were watching TLC the other night and a documentary of morbidly obese people came on. This dude couldn't roll over on his back because his STOMACH would CRUSH his LUNGS!! Of course, I immediately took this as my sign from God to get back on the ol' diet. So, monday morning, it began.... and ended Wednesday night at the Spaghetti Factory in Louisville.. with "chicken parmigiana." oh yes.. -f.y.i.that 1% of spandex in "stretch jeans" can be very useful in times like these. Alas, I had worn the 100% cotton. This is what I get- for throwing a fit in Penny's the other day. They had absolutely NO jeans that were NOT STRETCHY. Am I the only one with this aversion to the stretchy-jeans?? I don't get it. They feel like those old bicycle pants we all used to wear in the 80's.. I know you know. With neon colored scrunci socks, high-tops, side ponytails, and long air-brushed t-shirts tied in a knot!! phew! where were Stacy and Clinton when we needed them!?

My Holy Grail

Much like the search for the Holy Grail. I, too have been on my own quest. Religiously, I search the local Kroger, darting around isles, examining every unsuspecting hiding place. I often considered it all to be a conspiracy. But the ads on the television fueled my drive. “They must be real! They wouldn’t advertise a product that doesn’t exist… would they?!” But I never lost hope, although those around me faltered. I persisted. –through the storm of screaming children, yelling mothers, indecisive stallers, and motorized gray-hairs. …And it all came to a joyous end just the other day. I had no sooner turned the corner on the cake mix isle and an odd sensation stopped me. An unexplainable breeze passed and I was pulled toward the candy section… Peanut-no. Dark chocolate-no. And there she was.. the most beautiful bag of candy I’d ever seen. I had found the illusive Mega M&M’s!!! Yay! They do exist! The scene was similar to that on Harold and Kumar (when he finds a bag of his “true love”). As I savored the first few bites I thought..What could ever be better than this?! –Oh, but there is, my friends.. the only possible prize greater than the Mega M&M’s….MEGA REESES PIECES. I’ll keep you posted on my findings…

Natalie Approved

It's official. The coolest thing EVER. No household is complete without. It's one of those things that I would have never bought for myself. But thanks to Mikiba I am the proud owner of my very own CANDLE WARMER. Isn't that the joy of giving? ..or receiving rather. No flame, no matches, and twice the smell! and it uses ALL the wax. I use it almost every day. If you don't have one, let me know... Christmas is coming!!
Two more recommendations... Chipotle. Had the Burrito Bol today. Lindsay kept telling me it was good, but I had to experience it for myself- wondifferous!! Also, Fashion Shop. 70% off sale. Oh yes.. very nice.
One Dissapointment... Is it me- or has the "tall" starbucks size shrunk to "not-so-tall" ?!?! between this and gas prices...sheesh!
A sense of duty
What a rough day. The homework was done, bank accounts were full, and there was shopping to do. But it was no senseless act of shopping, we had a mission. The occasion- may be disclosed at a later date. From Hamburg to Fayette mall, we tore a path- now littered with bags, hangers, and reciepts. It was a long,tough journey- but we survived. We think we might be in need of an intervention... nah.
