75 Skills

I ran across this article today.... The 75 Skills Every Man Should Master. I wonder if there is a woman's version? If anyone has seen one, I want a link.

What would you put on your personal list? Mine would include things like:

- how to succeed in a male dominated industry without flaunting what your mama gave you or being a bitch

- how to crack an egg with 1 hand

- a killer recipe that only you have the **real** version of

- how to walk in 4 in. heels

- how to dress your man without making him look or feel like a fool

- how to throw a football

- how to talk sports, politics, current events.... all while sipping a glass of red and having glossy lips

- how to order a steak or a good glass of wine

- how to appreciate art

- how to never pay full price for anything at Banana or J Crew!

Off with your head! I mean hair...

The appointment is on the books..... Wednesday at 5.

I found this pic of Jessica and it is making me wonder....

Jessica or Katie?

Sex and Oprah

As I am sitting on my couch watching the TiVo'd Oprah episode from today and I just got chills. Chills followed by a tear in my eye.

Why all the emotion???

SEX. AND. THE. CITY.

29 more days until Mr. Big and I reunite.

To chop or not to chop....

I am conducting a poll.

Should I cut my hair or leave it long?

And yes, that is a photoshopped pic of my face on Katie Holmes body... that is the cut I want.

Bonanno's

Since the Bonanno Sunfest sale is going on, I am thinking about ordering a pair to take advantage of the great price! This will be my first pair of Bonanno's, but I am wondering how they run - size wise. I wear an 8.5 -- should I order an 8 or 9? What is your favorite color combination? I want to get something that is a good neutral....

Urban Life

Isn’t it funny how sometime it seems like your life just goes in big circles? As a preacher’s kid I grew up going to church, but when college time came…. Well, that was a different story. I don’t think my alarm was capable of going off on a Sunday morning. But it was something that I wanted to be a port of my life. Fast forward to now…

Married.

Young-ish.

No kids.

Dual career.

(I guess that makes us a DINK…. ) In my mind a DINK is a pretty good thing to be right now. But, when you are a DINK trying to find a church that you both like, well that is harder said than done. From my church experience, it seems there is always a spot for you in a church from birth until high school graduation. Then again once you have kids. That middle period… is kind of like purgatory, I guess. (I am married to a Catholic… I am picking up on these terms) Well, Mr. and I have been going back to my childhood church because Kathryn has started a great program for us DINK’s - Urban Life. I really like it… I am even going to a bible study. And for those of you who know me in real life, you probably just chuckled. Yes, you read that correctly…. A bible study. It is every Monday night and there are witnesses to prove that I have been there.

Weather

Last night, Dallas was in the middle of some pretty crazy storms. Mr. Accountant insisted on getting the weather updates from one channel…. And I wanted another. I am a firm believer that in a metroplex as large as Dallas/Ft.Worth, certain networks focus more on certain markets. For example – NBC (channel 5) does more Ft. Worth….. ABC (channel 8) does more Dallas. We live in Dallas. So, it only makes sense that we watch channel 8 – right? Well, I watched channel 8 in the bedroom while he watched channel 5 in the living room. Good compromise – don’t you think????

I am sure we are not the only ones that have this issue….. Right?!?!?

The land of IKEA and ...

... the land of lingonberries

... the land of ABBA

... the land of Volvo

... and the land of the royal family where I look just like one of the princesses

Mr. Accountant and I are going to SWEDEN this summer! We are really excited about it. Technically, it is a work thing (for me,) but we are going to have a blast . We are going with 2 other really nice couples, The Mitchell's and The Peterson's. Ashlynn and Chris were the GRAND PRIZE winners with our design contest, and the prize is a trip to the birthplace of my company.
