A New Fall Favorite

I love the Rachel Zoe show. It's on auto-record for our DVR*. I don't like admitting it but there's something about her that I find enduring. A bit of a brilliant designer paired with a total basket-case. She's confident yet insecure, brilliant yet hesitant, somewhat of a narcissistic tramp but also gentle and easily hurt. Like a lost little lamb. Did anyone see it last night? She debuted her first collection and I liked it. 

My favorites

others if you're interested

Do you watch reality t.v.? I used to be a huge Giuliana and Bill fan but not so much anymore. I know authentic isn't synonymous with reality tv but I feel like they've lost exactly that. I try to only do one reality tv show - too many and I might turn into my little friend Michelle W. =)

P.S. If this reading is too surfacy for you and you need something with more depth, grammatically correct, with footnotes, and a bit more self-assured sounding? Don't worry, another Josh post coming up soon. :p

*We also DVR The Colbert Report. Hmm, can you guess who watches what? =) 

The Vultures Are Out!

It's the 13th! Today the Missioni for Target line is was available in stores. I decided to get up early, peruse the website, and then hit my local target. I was most interested in the luggage (I bet resale would be double), potentially a beautiful throw, and maybe a few clothing items. This morning I checked the website and this is what I found.

It made me a little nervous. If the site was too busy, would the stores have anything? By the time I got there at 8:30 (store opened at 8) they had practically been cleaned out. All the vultures had come and gone. No luggage, toiletries, throws, adult shoes, and duvets. They had a few pieces of clothing left, a bunch of kids clothes and shoes, and the remnants of something great. It was like MAC lovers when a new iPhone is coming out except these were all women shopaholics. Yikes. 

I nabbed a few pieces but I may return them. I wasn't over-the-moon excited. When I was in the dressing room a few ladies were trying to take the stuff out of my cart! Vultures I tell you. The checkout guy said the website crashed as soon as the line was put up. He also mentioned he's never seen merchandise go that quickly. 

Did you get to Target in time? If so, I'd be curious to hear what you got. Maybe one of these limited edition bikes? :p 

Happy hunting!

Dollars and Cents

I'm not one to make political statements on this thing. I will never tell you who I voted for, which party I lean towards, or ask you to vote one way on any proposition. That's just not my bag. However, Josh sent me this and it just drives me nuts. For the sake of my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, can we please be fiscally responsible?

Last scene of the weekend. 

So happy to be home.

2 for 2, Phew!

During the 3rd. Obviously a crucial moment. =)

"Josh let's take a picture, please?" 

"Right now with two minutes left in the fourth?"

Note his facial expression. haha

The Girls

A, me, and mom on a Thursday night. Priceless. Thanks iPad.

Pretty Things

Something beautiful to brighten your Thursday. 

This picture is so pretty I can't stand it.

Pinterest

I have become addicted to Pinterest. It is the worst thing that has happened to me. It has encouraged my insatiable addiction to home decor. Here are a few quotes I found either amusing, true, or appropriate for a situation on Pinterest. Do you pin too? I don't have completely pure reasons for asking you this. I'm hoping my time waster will become yours too. =p Then I might not feel so bad. Terrible!

Always a balance. 

When I'm cooking.. 

Nasty little icon. I thought texting was supposed to replace that?

 About that thing that keeps bothering me.

The Book > The Movie 

 Must Dash. Get it? =)

And almost lastly and most unfortunately,

A rationale perhaps?
