Must be the water.....

As if this is a big suprise. Part of me feels sorry for her. The other part, well pop that pill and wear a condom!



And Miss Allen -- QUIT SMOKING! Your baby is going to be born with black lungs!

Increase Vocab = Feeding the Hungry

This is the time of year where everyone wants to do something to help those less fortunate. I stumbeled upon a site today that allows us to help feed the hungry with a click of the mouse!

Free Rice is a fun, addictive (and FREE) website that tests your ACT vocabulary knowledge while feeding the hungry.

Everyone around me, at work, was hooked within seconds.

Red Bow Headband

I loved the Blair Waldorf red bow headband when I first saw it, but I has to settle for the Erin Featherston Target version .....

..... until I found this! Now, if I could just find the navy blazer with yellow trim.....

Smashbox vs Monistat

I found this product tip over at So Frugalicious and I had to try it out. I have used the Smashbox primer in the past, but hated to shell out the $36 for less than an ounce of the precious primer. So, when I read her post about comparison between this and this, I had to try it.

The ingredients are the same, plus you get more for less than $10! I have used it all weekend and have been pleased with the results.



Ingredient comparison:

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
Smashbox photo finish (original): Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isopropylparaben, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Carthamus Tinctorium (Safflower) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera(Grape) Seed Extract, Cola Acuminata Seed Extract, Propylene Glycol, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben, Water.




Monistat Soothing Care
Dimethicone 1.2%(silicone), cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone/vinyl dimethiconecrosspolymer, silica, tocopheryl acetate, trisiloxane.

The main difference is that the Monistat does not have all of the "extras and extracts." It leaves my face smooth, non greasy, and make up stays on all day. I got mine at Wal Mart in the condom and pregnancy test aisle. (I have always thought it was funny these 2 products were paired together.....)

I slept with a ghost in NYC

Well, not literally.

I stayed with a friend at her place in the Upper West Side Saturday night, and then headed over to The Hudson Saturday night. All was great, until I tried to go to bed. I turned off the TV then it came back on in 10 seconds. Turned it off again, again it came back on. I tried to mute the TV and just shut the cabinet that it is in…. but even on mute, this possessed TV still had sound coming out. This went on for about a minute, until I called the front desk. They assured me that maintenance would be up to check it out… but, they never showed up. I ended up calling the front desk about 5 times, only to be told that someone was on their way up. (Nobody ever showed) I tried to just unplug the TV, but since it was built into the mini bar / dresser area, there was not much room to dig around for cords. By this point, it is after 12, I have to be up early for my presentations and I am pretty annoyed. I end up just yanking all of the cords I could get my hands on and finally the demon possessed TV shut off.

I am checking out the next morning and I tell the gentleman at the front desk about my TV issue from the night before. He asked what room I was in, I told him and here is his response… “Yeah, we have had some odd things happen in that room.”

My response – “Good thing I am checking out.”

From The Hudson's website:

The Hudson Hotel is hip — yet, some say, haunted.

Brrr.... I was not thinking when I only packed heels for this trip! Woke up this morning to a snow covered ground, only to take a walk in Central Park, wearing my high heel black boots! Not only did I look like a complete fool, but I almost busted my a** about 20 times. Oh well.

Legally Blonde was a blast! We had a wonderful time and I am so glad the strike ended just in time for me to see the show.

Also, I have been a vegan for the past 24 hours. My friend is a vegan, therefore as her houseguest I was a vegan. It was not that bad.....

OMG You Guys!

That’s right --- I get to go channel my inner Elle Woods this weekend when I am in NYC. Lucky for me, the Broadway strike just ended and I can squeeze in this show while I am up there. I saw part of it on MTV, but it is going to be even better in person!

I am going up early tomorrow morning; I wish I was getting to go for a longer period of time, but I have meetings all day on Monday then head back to Big D late that night. I do get to see a an old friend from college and we are going to relive the ol’ college days.

7 inches...

… and more in some places! That is how much I just had cut off of my hair. I had had enough of the loooooong hair. It was heavy, had no movement, and took forever to dry. I finally went to my hair guy and had him chop it off! The longest layers needed to reach the top of my bra strap, but other than that…. I wanted some big, sexy hair! (Maybe not as big as just hair that moved...)

No telling how much I am now going to save in conditioner costs!
